On the Sunday Shows. The guy applied for asylum December 2024. Was approved April 2025:
Welker: What vetting did the Trump administration do before giving this suspect asylum?
Noem: That’s the Biden administration’s responsibility.
Welker: Asylum was approved in April of this year on the Trump administration’s watch. So just to be very clear, was there a vetting process in place to approve that asylum request?
Noem: Yeah, the vetting process all happened under Joe Biden’s administration.
The everlasting pointing and blaming, pointing and blaming, pointing and blaming:
Noem: All the information that was gathered on that vetting process was gathered under the Biden administration. His asylum claim application started under the Biden administration. That information was provided by them and the responsibility lies with them.
Karl: But again he was granted asylum in April. So president trump had already been in office for several months. You had been in office. Are you saying there was no vetting done by the trump administration? You were simply relying on what had been done under the Biden administration? No vetting before granting him asylum?
@Sec_Noem on the National Guards attacker: “We believe he was radicalized since he has been here in this country. We do believe that it was through connections in his home community and state… Unvetted by Joe Biden, allowed to run free.”
He was actually vetted by Trump administration, allowed to run free for the entirety of this Trump administration.
You’ve been called on this ■■■■■■■■ before, yet here you are repeating it again. Typical.
Keep reading after this excerpt.
Although we do not know the suspect’s vetting arrangements before he entered the US we do know how vetting was supposed to work for the scheme he arrived on.
An archived government website for the OAW scheme, last updated at the start of this year, mentions a “rigorous” and “multi-layered” vetting process, which involved collecting biometric information such as fingerprints and photos from Afghans before they were allowed to enter the country.
It mentions multiple government agencies involved in vetting, including the FBI and the National Counterterrorism Center.
The then Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, said in 2021 that the government had “established a robust screening and vetting architecture” under the scheme.
I’m granting your assumption that the Biden vetting process was insufficient and am now asking you why the Trump Administration didn’t therefore refuse to grant this guy’s asylum but instead have him leave the country?
That part was entirely under the Trump Administration’s control.
So why didn’t they do it, and why should they be absolved from any culpability by failing to do it?
He applied for asylum December 2024. Approved and granted April 2025. Under the Trump administration. Their choice to approve or deny and Trump approved.
Trump took office on the 20th of January and the guys asylum was granted 3 months later ( or less depending on exactly what day it was granted). You Libs really think the Trump administration should have been able to vet the millions of people Biden let in in just 3 months?? Just like you expected him to undo 4 years of damage Biden did to the economy? Even his supporters don’t think he’s God. It’s going to take some time for him to fix all the stupid ■■■■ the feckless, senile clown and his cackling idiot sidekick did to this country. If the Biden administration hadn’t been stocked with incompetent, corrupt morons and they had done their jobs, and hadn’t violated our laws in the way all these deadbeats and dirtbags were allowed into OUR country, then this murdering piece of ■■■■■ and millions more just like him wouldn’t be here in the first place. Funny thing, the same Libs who are now admitting that trusting the Biden administration and their “vetting” process was a mistake on Trump’s part, are the same ones whining about Trump not trusting Bidens signature on all the documents that he signed with an autopen. Thanks Libs, for acknowledging that EVERY SINGLE THING BIDEN DID needs to be undone and redone right!
Who granted that asylum? Who was sitting at the Big Boy desk?
Donald was elected November 2024. His transition teams get to go immediately to work. They get to walk right into the government offices. They had all the time in the world to do things their way.
They weren’t vetting millions of people. They were vetting asylum applications. This one started in December. Donald took over in January. Three months later the Trump administration granted that application.
Maybe just maybe Donald should have denied that asylum application. Because maybe just maybe that’s what Biden would have done. Instead here we are with the feckless reckless incompetent Trump administration.
On the one hand, you trusted that the Trump Administration wasn’t making a single mistake and sending anyone to CECOT that didn’t deserve to go there, even though they had far less time to vet these people than the refugees coming in, but now you want to give them a pass for “not having the time to vet the refugees”.
If they didn’t have time, then they shouldn’t have granted anyone asylum.
Just like they shouldn’t have been rushing people off to a third party nation’s brutal prison.
Why should they get a pass for not doing this?
They get to rush decisions when the decision is something that you agree with, and you trust they did it perfectly, but it they rushed a decision and made a mistake, it’s STILL someone else’s fault?
Do you even feel it when your rationale shifts so you don’t have to hold the Trump Administration accountable for anything?
