An Afghan migrant on the terrorist watchlist was taken into custody and released by authorities at the southern border. He was later taken into custody again and released by an immigration judge who was unaware of the security risk. After the news broke, he was apprehended once more.
An Afghan migrant, who is on the terrorist watchlist , was taken into custody crossing the southern border and released by authorities last year, NBC News reported.
After NBC News posted its story on Kharwin's last release, he was taken into custody again on Thursday night. No further details of his latest apprehension were released. The FBI maintains the terrorist watchlist, which includes the identities of 1.8 million people considered security risks. "At the time of the initial encounter, the information in the record could not have provided a conclusive match," a spokesperson for Homeland Security said. "As soon as there was information to suggest that this individual was of concern, he was taken into custody by ICE. Law enforcement has been tracking the matter closely to protect against public safety risks."
