U.S. ICE agents have arrested a 3rd Afghan national, Jaan Shah Safi-an alleged ISIS-K supporter brought into America under former President Joe Biden's Operation Allies Welcome – in Waynesboro, Virginia.
The arrest comes as the Trump administration sweeps the country amid a surge of terror cases tied to Afghan arrivals that occurred under the Biden administration.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement that Safi arrived in the U.S. on Sept. 8 2025, in Philadelphia.
"Today, our heroic ICE officers arrested Jaan Shah Safi, a terrorist who provided material support to ISIS-K. The Biden Administration brought this terrorist into the U.S. under the disastrous Operation Allies Welcome program. This terrorist was arrested miles from our nation’s capital where our brave National Guard heroes, Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe, were shot just days ago by another unvetted Afghan terrorist brought into our country.
"The Biden Administration created one of the worst national security crises in American history. Biden let into our country nearly 190,000 unvetted Afghan aliens – only determining who they were and their intentions when they were already on American soil," she continued. "President Trump has been working every day since January 20 to clean up this unmitigated national security crisis."
