Terror Regime: Biden Halted Terror-Vetting Procedures Which Would Have STOPPED Texas Jihadi From Entering the Country

The British terrorist who took four people hostage at a Texas synagogue had been investigated by UK intelligence services. The Texas synagogue terrorist Malik Faisal Akram had been probed by UK spy agency. Malik Faisal Akram was investigated by MI5 “in the second half of 2020” after a tip that he could be a possible Islamist terrorist threat, government sources told the Guardian.

How many more jihadis are out there?

Akram was able to enter the US on a tourist visa given warnings over his extensive criminal record after Biden revoked President Trump’s national security vetting policiies. His rap sheet dates back to at least 1996, when he was jailed for violent disorder following a baseball bat attack……

British synagogue siege terrorist, 44, ‘was known to MI5’ as pressure continues to grow on security services over how he was able to evade officials and travel to the US despite criminal convictions and 9/11 rant

  • FBI identifies Texas synagogue shooter as 44-year-old Malik Faisal Akram, who is originally from Blackburn 
  • He arrived in NYC on January 2 before spending a week at a Dallas homeless shelter in the week before attack 
  • Sibling also revealed Akram had a long criminal record and asked how he was able to enter the United States
  • Two teenagers from Manchester have been arrested in connection with incident and remain in custody
  • All four hostages have been released after the terrorist was shot and police stormed the Texas synagogue 
  • Akram had demanded the release of ‘Lady Al Qaeda’ Aafia Siddiqui, so they could die together in siege

The Trump administration issued a “public charge” rule which expanded the grounds under which visa applicants could be denied for their use of public benefits that went into effect in February 2020. As a result, denials of immigrant visa petitions on public charge grounds increased by 300 percent, and the use of important public benefits by immigrant families decreased. Biden committed to repealing this rule during his campaign. Under the Biden administration, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security dismantled the rule through litigation and regulatory action.

Biden revoked:

    • Executive Order 13815 of October 24, 2017 (Resuming the United States Refugee Admissions Program With Enhanced Vetting Capabilities) which stated the Trump Administration’s policy approach to USRAP, required the Secretaries of State and DHS to assess and address any security risks posed by USRAP.
    • Executive Order 13888 of September 26, 2019 (Enhancing State and Local Involvement in Refugee Resettlement) which required written consent of governors and local government officials before refugees could be resettled in their jurisdictions.
    • Presidential Memorandum of March 6, 2017 (Implementing Immediate Heightened Screening and Vetting of Applications for Visas and Other Immigration Benefits, Ensuring Enforcement of All Laws for Entry Into the United States, and Increasing Transparency Among Departments and Agencies of the Federal Government and for the American People) which required the Secretaries of State and DHS to implement protocols and procedures that enhanced the screening and vetting of applications for visas and and all other immigration benefits.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185(a), hereby find that it is in the interests of the United States to revoke Executive Order 13780 of March 6, 2017 (Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States), Proclamation 9645 of September 24, 2017 (Enhancing Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats), Proclamation 9723 of April 10, 2018 (Maintaining Enhanced Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats), and Proclamation 9983 of January 31, 2020 (Improving Enhanced Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats).  Our national security will be enhanced by revoking the Executive Order and Proclamations.

Accordingly, I hereby proclaim:

Section 1.  Revocations.  Executive Order 13780, and Proclamations 9645, 9723, and 9983 are hereby revoked.

Sec. 2.  Resumption of Visa Processing and Clearing the Backlog of Cases in Waiver Processing.  (a)  The Secretary of State shall direct all Embassies and Consulates, consistent with applicable law and visa processing procedures, including any related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), to resume visa processing in a manner consistent with the revocation of the Executive Order and Proclamations specified in section 1 of this proclamation.

(b)  Within 45 days of the date of this proclamation, the Secretary of State shall provide to the President a report that includes the following elements:

(i)    The number of visa applicants who were being considered for a waiver of restrictions under Proclamation 9645 or 9983 on the date of this proclamation and a plan for expeditiously adjudicating their pending visa applications.

(ii)   A proposal to ensure that individuals whose immigrant visa applications were denied on the basis of the suspension and restriction on entry imposed by Proclamation 9645 or 9983 may have their applications reconsidered.  This proposal shall consider whether to reopen immigrant visa applications that were denied due to the suspension and restriction on entry imposed by Proclamation 9645 or 9983, whether it is necessary to charge an additional fee to process those visa applications, and development of a plan for the Department of State to expedite consideration of those visa applications.

(iii)  A plan to ensure that visa applicants are not prejudiced as a result of a previous visa denial due to the suspension and restriction on entry imposed by Proclamation 9645 or 9983 if they choose to re-apply for a visa.

Sec. 3.  Review of Information-Sharing Relationships and a Plan to Strengthen Partnerships.  Within 120 days of the date of this proclamation, the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, shall provide to the President a report consisting of the following elements:

(a)  A description of the current screening and vetting procedures for those seeking immigrant and nonimmigrant entry to the United States.  This should include information about any procedures put in place as a result of any of the Executive Order and Proclamations revoked in section 1 of this proclamation and should also include an evaluation of the usefulness of form DS-5535.

(b)  A review of foreign government information-sharing practices vis-à-vis the United States in order to evaluate the efficacy of those practices, their contribution to processes for screening and vetting those individuals seeking entry to the United States as immigrants and nonimmigrants, and how the United States ensures the accuracy and reliability of the information provided by foreign governments.

(c)  Recommendations to improve screening and vetting activities, including diplomatic efforts to improve international information-sharing, use of foreign assistance funds, where appropriate, to support capacity building for information-sharing and identity-management practices, and ways to further integrate relevant executive department and agency data into the vetting system.

(d)  A review of the current use of social media identifiers in the screening and vetting process, including an assessment of whether this use has meaningfully improved screening and vetting, and recommendations in light of this assessment.
