African migrant claimed to be gay to get asylum in the US - then made incredibly stupid mistake after entering the country, DHS says

An African immigrant accused of pretending to be gay to claim asylum in the US has allegedly been outed after he married a woman in Indiana.

Salah Dine Habib, a native of Mauritania in west Africa, entered the US around 2023 and was arrested May 21, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Habib claimed to be homosexual on his asylum application, which in his home country is a criminal offense punishable by being stoned to death.

He got a job as a taxpayer-funded corrections officer at a county jail in Portland, Indiana, after being hired by Jay County Sheriff Larry Ray Newton Jr, WIBC reported.

However, Habib was allegedly exposed as a fraud after he married Newton's stepdaughter Chelsea in September 2025.

Photos and videos shared to social media from the ceremony show the sheriff posing with his family and giving a speech to wedding guests.

The DHS told the Daily Mail in a statement: 'Habib entered the country illegally in March 2023 near Lukeville, Arizona, and was released into the country by the Biden administration where he was reportedly hired as a corrections officer in Indiana.

'He will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.

So refugees due to being homosexual is a fine policy to incorporate? There are two wrongs in this story. Frankly I was rooting for the heterosexual to get away with this and expose how asinine the policy is.

Letting homosexuals in good, male Trannies using women bathrooms bad. Hypocrisy running wild, both are nasty behaviors that should be shunned.

I remember when all of the hordes of young, male Africans were entering the US, at the Lukeville AZ area....on BIDEN’s fake watch.

Michael Yon, Oscar Blue and Ben Berquam reported on these guys, DAILY, in 2023.

Way to go Indiana. Now you have two strikes against you.

1. Mike Pence
2. Hiring this guy at Hoosier’s expense.

“””Habib done screwed up big time! Back to Mauritania shitthole you go.””””


And take your wife, the sheriff’s granddaughter, with you.

And how about the stupidity of the sheriff who engaged in nepotism by hiring his grandson-in-law.

The entire genetic history of mankind is that the invaders displace (usually kill) the men and take the women.

Lavender marriage. His wife was what they refer to as a “Beard”. Incredibly common for prominent gay men during that time period. Example: Rock Hudson and Phyllis Gates.

I knew a couple like that in San Francisco. He was gay and she wasn’t. I asked wife whether that bothered her.
She said it didn’t , he was a good husband and provider, so home life was fine.

Fortunately no children. They’d be seriously screwed up. Or unscrewed.
