Visas Grated by Biden

 
1.  The Biden administration granted a visa in 2024 to a man who joined the October 7th attack on lsrael, Mahmoud Ya'qub Muhtadi . All he had to do was say that he was not a terrorist on his electronic visa application. He was just taken into custody by DOJ and now faces terror and visa fraud charges.
Federal prosecutors in Louisiana accused a man of participating in the Hamas-led October 2023 attack on Israel and then traveling to the United States on a fraudulent visa, according to a criminal complaint unsealed on Thursday.
The complaint described the man, identified in court documents as Mahmoud Amin Ya’qub al-Muhtadi, as an operative for a paramilitary group in Gaza that has fought alongside Hamas. It accused him of organizing other armed fighters in Gaza and crossing into Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, following the first wave of Hamas militants.
The attack killed nearly 1,200 Israelis, including some who were also American citizens, and militants took about 250 people hostage to Gaza.
The complaint, filed on Oct. 6 in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, was signed by Alexandria M. Thoman O’Donnell, a supervisory special agent with the F.B.I. Mr. al-Muhtadi faces charges including providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization and visa fraud.

In the criminal complaint, the F.B.I. agent presented transcripts of Mr. al-Muhtadi’s telephone calls on the morning of Oct. 7, 2023. In one instance, Mr. al-Muhtadi told a man that morning to “get ready” and that “the borders are open,” the complaint said. Mr. al-Muhtadi told another man to “bring the rifles” to participate in the attack, according to the complaint.

Another message from him read, “If you have a full magazine, bring it to me,” and another asked for a bulletproof vest for someone else, according to the complaint.

The complaint also said that Mr. al-Muhtadi’s phone, which used the Gaza-based mobile carrier Jawwal, was connected to an Israeli cell tower later that morning. While Mr. al-Muhtadi has not been accused of killing anyone, the complaint said that at least 60 people, including some Americans, were killed that day in an Israeli kibbutz near the cell tower.

Mr. al-Muhtadi was accused of being a member of the National Resistance Brigades, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a group in Gaza that has fought alongside Hamas since Oct. 7, 2023. The complaint cited Israeli intelligence and photos on Mr. al-Muhtadi’s social media and email accounts that indicated an affiliation with the group.

A person named Mahmoud Almuhtadi, living in Cairo, electronically signed a U.S. visa application on June 26, 2024, the complaint said. The application indicated that he had been born in Gaza in 1991, lived there until March 2024 and had no history of serving in a paramilitary unit or engaging in terrorist activities.
Louisiana’s inmate records show that the man who was in custody on Thursday had the same birth date.
Mr. al-Muhtadi entered the United States through Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on Sept. 12, 2024, the complaint added, citing Customs and Border Protection records.
