An asylum official with the Department of Homeland Security has been put on leave after it was revealed that she once served as a spokeswoman for the Palestine Liberation Organization — and recently wrote “F–k Israel” in numerous posts supporting Hamas, according to reports.
Nejwa Ali was hired at the USCIS in 2019 as an asylum officer and earlier this year was made an adjudication officer, according to her LinkedIn profile. The role includes vetting people before they enter the US.
Ali has expressed her support for Palestinian causes for years — and recently posted inflammatory comments about Israel in the wake of the surprise attack by Hamas, according to the outlet.

Nejwa Ali, an officer with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services, an agency of Homeland Security, worked as a public affairs officer for the PLO’s delegation to the US in 2016 and 2017, the Daily Wire reported.

One image she posted with the caption “Free PALESTINE” depicts armed terrorists paragliding into Israel.
“F–k Israel, the government, and its military @stateofisrael @timesofisrael are you ready for your downfall…because we are ready for our freedom,” she wrote on Instagram.

Are these people never vetted before hiring?................
I bet Homeland Security is full of enemy agents.
Just like every other government agency.
Is that paid leave?
I doubt it.
Says far more about Homeland Security’s dubious background checks and employee screening procedures than the actual person who is the subject of the article.
On leave until we forget about it.
A PLO sympathizer is working at Homeland Security. Is this the Bee? WTF is wrong with these people?
Regular Americans get more vetting just trying to catch a flight.
Yup,there well vetted. They picked one off for the media narrative. The rest of them will just carry on.
And you wonder why MAGA people and school parents are being targeted by the Hamas Democrat government?
The feral gubment obviously has zero standards and no serious screening capabilities.
If this was a private company there would be no issue here but this is the government. Like it or not she has First Amendment rights that the government can’t infringe upon. She said F-Israel not F- the Jews which technically from a legal standpoint doesn’t by itself constitute antisemitism. She’s criticizing a country not a people.
The vetter was never vetted or she was vetted and they liked what they saw.
Unprofessional conduct, quite unbecoming of a HS Officer.
This is not the job for her.
Yes, though not the way you might think. Ain’t that somethin’?
Wonder what the annual wage is for that? Millions of Americans going through horrible economic times right now.
They put her on paid vacation. This is not a prescription for confidence going forward.
Dadly, to the Biden regime, the ones really running things, these attitudes are resume enhancers, not disqualifiers. Just as long as they can keep them out of the public spotlight and pretend to be impartial.
Time to shutter this useless department.
George W. Bush's contribution to the cesspool. The gift that keeps on giving.
