DOD Whistle Blower Leaks Afghans on Terrorist Watch List Made it to US Soil | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

As we remember the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and one year after US withdrawal from Afghanistan, a whistle blower is revealing some startling news. Afghan refugees were not properly vetted when they were evacuated to the United States, some were on the terrorist watchlist. The Department of Defense whistle-blower brought the evidence to Republican Senators Josh Hawley and Ron Johnson. They took that evidence to the acting inspector general in the DOD. Senator Hawley says at least 324 men and women on the terror watch list are now on US soil and their whereabouts are unknown. The list identifies individuals "... determined by analysts to be threats, or potential threats to national security, including known suspected terrorists." The whistleblower also gave evidence showing "…political appointees at the National Security Council (NSC) and DOD instructed agency personnel to cut corners when processing evacuees in Afghanistan…" Senator Hawley says Congress needs to act now and the FBI, who is in charge of finding these known terrorists, must chase down these individuals.
