The Department of Homeland Security has put an employee on administrative leave for being a huge supporter of terrorism.
I don’t get the administrative leave because Nejwa Ali, an Adjudication Officer with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has a long history of rooting for terror attacks.
Ali was a spokeswoman for the PLO and her posts on social media are disgusting. She is probably still collecting her paycheck when she should have been fired outright.
Ali’s social media page says that she is American-born but Palestinian @ heart. The only reason I can see with the DHS putting on leave may mean they will bring her back after this quiets down.
Ali said:
“I abso-f—ing-lutely celebrate [Palestinian hang-gliders], a–hole, f— you!”
UPDATE: DHS/USCIS says the former PLO spox has been placed on administrative leave from her job vetting immigrants.
PLUS NEW AUDIO: She reaffirmed her allegiance to Hamas THIS AFTERNOON, saying of hang-gliders: "I abso-fucking-lutely celebrate them, asshole, fuck you!" https://t.co/BJry1EisZe pic.twitter.com/FPrQbjAPak

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) wrote a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Thursday, writing :
“I am glad to see that she has now been placed on administrative leave—but that is not enough. If these reports are accurate, you must terminate her employment immediately.”
“As Secretary, you must assure the American people that those charged with determining who enters the United States do so impartially and without prejudice.”
“What safeguards are in place in the asylum adjudication process to remediate any abuses committed by strongly prejudiced immigration officers?”
Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) said, “This person needs to be fired today. Dangerous radicals like this have no business being employed with taxpayer dollars.”
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) said it was “alarming” that Ali was in charge of vetting migrants, because holding the same views as Ali was sufficient to boot foreigners from the U.S.
“Federal law is clear that any alien who ‘endorses or espouses terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization’ is inadmissible and must be deported.”
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) said it is “Despicable that there are people in our government who are openly supporting – and praising – terrorists. She should be fired immediately.”
The House Committee on Homeland Security wrote that “Amid brutal Hamas terrorist attacks on our ally and following the death of over 30 Americans, a DHS asylum officer is cheering on Israel’s ‘downfall’ and pushing anti-Semitic hate,” calling on Mayorkas to “take action immediately.”
Sen. Ted Cruz said it is “Indefensible. This antisemitic radical should be fired immediately.”
On Ali’s LinkedIn, she said her DHS job was to:
“Conduct affirmative interviews with applicants;” “Perform credible fear interviews by reviewing evidence, credibility, and determine admissibility;” and “Coordinate with Fraud Detection National Security team in order to determine fraud or security concerns.”

Emilio Gonzalez, who ran USCIS in the Bush administration, told The Washington Times that:
“The PLO is a designated foreign terrorist organization … The fact that she worked for them and then was hired by the Department of Homeland Security tells me that somebody dropped the ball with her background checks.”
Cut the crap, Mayorkas and fire this woman who has no place in government.
