Summary

Federal prosecutors in Oklahoma are building a case against Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, who is alleged to have planned a mass attack on Election Day on behalf of the Islamic State terror Tawhedi did not slip past border patrol in Texas; instead, he was invited and transported to the U.S. by the government itself. He had previously worked for the CIA and other entities in Afghanistan and was evacuated with his family when the U.S. military withdrew in September 2021. Was Tawhedi always a jihadist waiting for the chance to strike? Investigators don't believe so. However, the pressing question is why Tawhedi was not deemed a risk despite his history with U.S. intelligence. Furthermore, does the current immigration policy have loopholes that allowed him to evade scrutiny? Adam Shaw, who covers immigration and border security for FOX Digital, joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to analyze Tawhedi's case and how it is once again raising questions about America's immigration policies and our ability to vet anyone who crosses into our country legally or illegally.
