An officer with the Department of Homeland Security has been placed on administrative leave after it was revealed that she had previously worked as a spokesperson for the Palestinian Liberation Organization.
According to The Daily Wire, Nejwa Ali, previously an adjudication officer for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, held the crucial role of evaluating asylum claims for individuals seeking entry into the United States.
Ali, an American-born man, expressed his strong opposition to Israel and any Jew who supports Israel in an Instagram post following the tragic Palestinian Hamas terrorist attack on Israel that tragically claimed the lives of over 1,400 people and resulted in the capture of about 200 others.
In that post, a photo of armed Hamas terrorists parachuting in was provided.
“Palestine will be free one day. F*** APARTHEID Israel and any Israeli that supports that bulls***. F*** you, may Allah forgive you. and spare us the crocodile tears, I sure as hell give zero f***s,” she stated in a different post.
In an email to Gabe Kaminsky from the Washington Examiner on Wednesday regarding Ali, DHS spokesperson Matthew Bourke wrote: “This individual has been placed on administrative leave.”
“USCIS strongly condemns antisemitism and the use of violent rhetoric in any form,” Bourke added.
“USCIS employees are held to high ethical standards both on and off duty, including their presence on social media. Any violation of these standards is taken seriously by the agency,” he said.
Naturally, this prompts the question of how Ali was first employed.

Emilio Gonzalez, who oversaw USCIS during the George W. Bush administration, thinks that Ali’s employment should be terminated.
Gonzalez was shocked to learn that she had been hired by USCIS.
“The PLO is a designated foreign terrorist organization,” Gonzalez told the outlet. “The fact that she worked for them and then was hired by the Department of Homeland Security tells me that somebody dropped the ball with her background checks.”
Her LinkedIn page originally stated, according to The Times, that she worked as a public relations officer for the PLO’s American delegation from 2016 to 2017. However, her public profile no longer contains this information.
The PLO’s Washington, D.C. The Trump administration expelled Ali from the nation after his place of employment.
Ali was successful in landing a job with USCIS in the busy metropolis of Washington, D.C.
In a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Republican Senator Josh Hawley calls for transparency over Ali’s case evaluations.
The senator expressed alarm over Ali’s social media posts since they contained hashtags like “#asylumseekers #palestine #refugeeswelcome,” which seemed to suggest a prejudice against particular immigration cases within the Department of Homeland Security.
Hawley posted on X, “The Biden DHS needs to explain – now – why they had a pro-terrorist, pro-genocide anti-Semitic radical adjudicating asylum claims and why in the world she hasn’t been fired.”
Ali’s suspension from duty is a good first step, but it’s critical to start the employment termination process right once.
The American taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to finance such hatred, nor should they put their trust in someone whose recommendations about who should be permitted entry into the country may put Americans’ lives in peril.
We don’t want to hire any government employees who support terrorism, according to a solid DHS standard operating procedure.
