From The Daily Wire:
The Department of Homeland Security is facing a lawsuit after Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas refused to explain why a former spokesperson for the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) was still employed by the department months after The Daily Wire exposed her support for terrorism and extreme anti-Semitism.
…The department violated the Freedom of Information Act by refusing to provide documents about Ali in response to a November request, according to a new lawsuit filed by the Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) against DHS.
The FOIA sought “records related to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Adjudication Officer Nejwa Ali and a potential conflict of interest in administering her duties,” exploring whether she ushered in dangerous Palestinians or denied entry to Israelis.
…James Fitzpatrick, CASA’s director, told The Daily Wire that “CASA submitted this FOIA request immediately upon learning of Nejwa Ali’s work for the Palestinian delegation to the U.S., UNWRA, and the virulent, disgusting, anti-Semitic content on her social media pages.”
“We are particularly concerned with transparency on communications regarding Ali’s security screening. It is troubling that someone with Ali’s resume could be given authority to facilitate asylum seekers to the United States. The American people need to know what DHS knew about Ali’s prior work and statements and when they knew it,” he said.
