Senior Trump Official Calls for Immediate Deportation of Afghans

URGENT UPDATE: A senior official from the Trump administration is demanding the immediate deportation of tens of thousands of Afghan refugees admitted to the United States under President Joe Biden. This controversial call follows a recent shooting incident in Washington D.C. involving two National Guard members, which the official links directly to the presence of these refugees.

On Friday, Joe Kent, a former Army Green Beret and confirmed director of the National Counterterrorism Center, made this incendiary demand in a post on his X account. He referred to the shooting as a “barbaric terrorist attack” and argued that the vetting process used for Afghan refugees was inadequate.

Kent stated, “Vetting a foreigner in a war zone to determine if he will fight a common enemy is vastly different than vetting a foreigner to see if he is suitable to live in our country.” He asserts that the vetting standards under the Biden administration allowed tens of thousands of Afghans to enter the U.S. without proper scrutiny, which he claims contributed to the violence in D.C.

In a shocking conclusion to his post, Kent called for the “rounding up” of all Afghan refugees who were admitted during Biden’s presidency. “The solution is rounding up everyone Biden let in & deporting them immediately,” he emphasized, invoking a strong emotional reaction from his followers and critics alike.

This development raises significant questions about national security and the future of Afghan refugees in the United States. Advocates for these individuals argue that many are fleeing persecution and deserve protection, while critics like Kent advocate for their immediate removal based on safety concerns.

As the political climate continues to heat up, this story is likely to evolve. Observers will be watching closely to see if this call to action gains traction among lawmakers and influences further policy decisions regarding immigration and refugee admissions.

Stay tuned for more updates on this developing situation as it unfolds in real time.
