Nasir Ahmed Tawhedi, the Afghan refugee charged last week in Oklahoma with plotting an Election Day terror massacre was previously flagged by U.S. Customs Border and Protection this summer, weeks before his arrest, during a re-evaluation of his 2021 entry into the country, immigration records reviewed by Just the News show.
Those records conflict with the Justice Department portrayal of Tawhedi, 27, in the criminal information filed in U.S. District Court in Oklahoma City.
“On 08/26/2024, TAWHEDI populated the Operation Allies Welcome (OAW) arrival hotlist,” the records state.
“TAWHEDI is the subject of a silent hit entered by the Oklahoma Federal Bureau of Investigation to be notified if the subject is encountered.” Law enforcement officials said the records suggest that either the CBP review of Tawhedi found some terror nexus or that the FBI investigation of the Afghan refugee had already begun and alerted border officials to concerns.
Immigration records state that the Afghan refugee was let into the country on humanitarian parole on Sept. 9, 2021, and not with a "special immigration visa" reserved for foreigners who worked for U.S. agencies as federal prosecutors told the court.
The records show he was assigned an “A#” consistent with humanitarian parole.
Tawhedi “was negative for any derogatory information at that time and was admitted under the Port Parole Operations Allies Refuge,” the CBP immigration records stated.
