White House Baffled by How Colleyville Terrorist Gained a Visa Despite Being on Terrorist Watch List
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | January 18, 2022 | Sundance

Posted on 01/18/2022 6:43:36 PM PST by george76

Malik Faisal Akram, who was known as Faisal Akram, had a well known Islamic extremist history to British and American intelligence. Akram ranted, prior to his travel to the U.S, that he wished he had died in the 9/11 terror attacks. He was a regular visitor to Pakistan, and reportedly a member of the Tablighi Jamaat group set up to ‘purify’ Islam. To say the U.S. intelligence system knew Faisal Akram would be an understatement. The FBI knowledge of Akram has now been confirmed by The Daily Mail.

Today the White House was asked how it was possible for him to get a visa and travel into the United States. White House spokesperson Jen Psaki, says they have no idea, but they’re looking into it. They’ve put their best men, best men, on the review. For more details, ask the Dept. of Homeland Security

White House Flummoxed.

White House has invalid and unelected resident acting as President.

It doesn’t take a lot to baffle this White House.
Too many Chiefs and not enough Indians!

They are not baffled at all. Knowing how evil they are, the state department probably supplied the weapons for him.

Or because he had a UK passport he didn’t need a visa?

All " no idea" buys is a kick to the curb with a cardboard box in my lines of work.

Unfortunately government only rewards failure, so how this guy got into our country is exactly what government needs more funding for in order to get answers. (Repeat)

How did an Islamic terrorist from the UK, get into the USA; and then get around in the USA?

See:

EXCLUSIVE 'You get picked up in the US for walking on cracks in a pavement!' Security services are accused of 'intelligence failure' after British synagogue siege terrorist, 44, evaded officials despite criminal convictions and 9/11 rant

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10409905/EXCLUSIVE-Blackburn-terrorist-44-ranted-wishing-board-one-9-11-planes.html

At that webpage:
Malik Faisal Akram landed at New York's JFK Airport on January 2. The address he gave on his arrival papers appears to be the same as the Queens Hotel in New York City, which offers basic accommodation for $80-a-night.

He spent the nights between January 6 and January 13 at a Christian charity's homeless hostel in Dallas, managing to buy a gun 'on the street' nearby.
See the section over on the right of the article webpage; the section entitled: "What are the rules on entering America if you have criminal record?"

In particular: "Can an applicant lie on the [Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA)] form?"
The ESTA website claims checks will be carried out to see if an applicant has any undisclosed criminal convictions on file

But according to social justice charity Nacro, the US authorities do not have access to criminal records held on the UK's Police National Computer

If authorities have concerns about a traveller, they can request information from the Home Office, although this is said to be very rare

This means it could be possible to lie on the form and enter the country

Charity Unlock, which helps people with previous convictions, says people who lie on the ESTA are 'generally able to travel with no difficulties', but it is a risk as it is a criminal offence
Re the Christian charity in Dallas; see:

Countdown to synagogue siege: British terrorist Faisal Akram stayed in Christian homeless shelter

https://texasnewstoday.com/countdown-to-synagogue-siege-british-terrorist-faisal-akram-stayed-in-christian-homeless-shelter/608911/
The British Muslim crossed the country, likely by internal flight, next appearing at a Texan Christian charity asking for a bed for the night.

He stayed at the Union Gospel Mission in Dallas in the week before the terror attack, and was able to buy a handgun ‘off the street’, according to US President Joe Biden.

The shelter’s CEO Bruce Butler told CNN that staff saw him ‘come and go’ from January 6 – but he never mentioned religion or his plans to attack the synagogue.

Mr Butler said: ‘We were a way station for him. He had a plan. He was very quiet’, adding he left for the final time on January 13.
This operation by the terrorist, was probably not some random event.

White House is baffled by a lot of stuff. Drone striking an aid worker in a car with children, inflation, our southern border being over run, higher fuel prices, walking up airplane stairs, the list is endless.

perhaps he had 2 vaxes and a booster, so they checked no further?

“White House spokesperson Jen Psaki, says they have no idea,”

I have no trouble believing this at all.

Or his fellow Paki TSA agent recognized his Urdu accent and waved him through.

The San Bernardino terrorist’s wife was also allowed into this country despite her history. Looks like we either have an incompetent or a left wing State Department. My guess is both.
