U.S. agents accused of aiding Islamist scheme

A criminal investigations report says several U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services employees are accused of aiding Islamic extremists with identification fraud and of exploiting the visa system for personal gain.

The confidential 2006 USCIS report said that despite the severity of the potential security breaches, most are not investigated "due to lack of resources" in the agency's internal affairs department.

"Two District Adjudications Officers are allegedly involved with known (redacted) Islam terrorist members," said the internal document obtained by The Washington Times.

The group "was responsible for numerous robberies and used the heist money to fund terrorist activities. The District Adjudications Officers made numerous DHS database queries to track (Alien)-File movement and check on the applicants' status for (redacted) members and associates."

According to the document, other potential security failures include reports that:

Employees are sharing detailed information on internal security measures with people outside the agency.

A Lebanese citizen bribed an immigration officer with airline tickets for visa benefits.

A USCIS officer in Harlington, Texas, sold immigration documents for $10,000 to as many as 20 people.

A USCIS employee, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of reprisal, said many of the complaints in the multipage document are as many as three years old.

"Terrorists need immigration documents to embed in our society and work here without raising alarm bells," said the employee.

"Whether through bribing an immigration officer, an employee with the department of motor vehicles, or utilizing highly effective counterfeit documents produced by the Mexican drug cartels. They are always looking for that documentation to live amongst us."

Bill Wright, spokesman with USCIS, said that he could not comment on any ongoing investigations but that USCIS "takes all internal allegations seriously."

"The investigations that are referenced are ongoing investigations that we can not comment on," Mr. Wright told The Times. "We take all of these allegations seriously, and we are acting on them. For anyone to suggest that they are ignored is blatantly wrong."

In March, USCIS established the Office of Security and Integrity to investigate internal corruption.

"We'd like to clean up our own house first," Mr. Wright said.

The office would add 65 investigators and internal-review specialists, for a total of 245 employees and contract employees, but none of the new 65 vacancies approved in March has been filled.

Last week, The Times disclosed a confidential DEA report substantiating the link between Islamic extremists and Mexican drug cartels. The 2005 DEA report states that Middle Eastern operatives, in U.S. sleeper cells, are working in conjunction with the cartels to fund terrorist organizations overseas. Several lawmakers promised congressional hearings based on the information disclosed in the DEA documents.

The DEA report also stated that Middle Eastern extremists living in the U.S. — who speak Spanish, Arabic and Hebrew fluently — are posing as Hispanic nationals.

USCIS Director Emilio Gonzalez in March told Congress that he could not establish how many terror suspects or persons of special interest have been granted immigration benefits.

"While USCIS has in place strong background check and adjudication suspension policies to avoid granting status to known terror risks, it is possible for USCIS to grant status to an individual before a risk is known, or when the security risk is not identified through standard background checks," said a statement provided to lawmakers.

"USCIS is not in a position to quantify all cases in which this may have happened. Recognizing that there may be presently known terror risks in the ranks of those who have obtained status previously."

Mr. Gonzalez's response, along with the 2006 USCIS document obtained by The Times, show a "pattern of national security failures that have put the nation at risk," the agency source said.

Another investigation involved more than seven USCIS and Immigration and Custom's Enforcement (ICE) employees — including special agents and senior district managers — who were moving contraband via "diplomatic pouches" to the United States from China.

ICE — the original investigating agency — downgraded the criminal investigation to a managerial problem, and the case was never prosecuted, a source close to the investigation said.

"While USCIS has in place strong background check and adjudication suspension policies to avoid granting status to known terror risks, it is possible for USCIS to grant status to an individual before a risk is known, or when the security risk is not identified through standard background checks," said a statement provided to lawmakers.

After 9/11/2001, the USCIS (formerly the INS), began to increase the volume and scope of background checks, mainly for security purposes. Millions of applications routinely get security clearance without incident. USCIS applicants, however, and their immigrant advocates, have been very concerned about processing delays, pointing to individual examples of applicants waiting a year or longer for adjudication, due to slow background checks.

The USCIS generally uses a three-tier background check approach, although they are allowed to use a number of other investigative techniques and resources if deemed necessary:

• The Interagency Border Inspection System (IBIS) Name Check—IBIS has a multiagency, central system that collects information from multiple sources and then compiles data to assess national security risks, public safety law enforcement issues. IBIS checks are usually instant. From there, either applicants are disqualified or further investigation takes place. The IBIS check is not considered complete until any eligibility questions or issues arising from the system response have been resolved.

• FBI Fingerprint Check—The FBI fingerprints many applicants for a variety of routine reasons. The fingerprint check determines whether any U.S. criminal record exists on the applicant. This check tends to take 24-48 hours. If a match is found, the FBI transmits a digital copy of the criminal record (RAP sheet) to the USCIS. A USCIS adjudicator then determines whether eligibility is still possible or not. Some 10 percent of applicants are found to either have a criminal history or previous immigration violations that make them ineligible for a green card.

When an applicant has been arrested and charges have been dropped, a case dismissed, or the offender has been found not guilty, the USCIS requires certified evidence of the disposition. Providing such details with the initial application can prevent unnecessary delays later. Misrepresentation (e.g., lying, or lying by omission) on an application could result in a denial that might have been avoidable. Even vacated or expunged convictions must be reported.

• FBI Name Checks—The FBI name check is not related to the fingerprint check. This check is based on applications, personnel, administrative, criminal and other files compiled by law enforcement. Such checks take 14 days or so to complete. Eighty percent of applicants pass this stage without a problem. The remaining 20 percent are almost all resolved within half a year. If a problem with the name check is identified, it does not always indicate criminal activity. Sometimes there are simply complex circumstances requiring additional research.

-----

Online background checks are available and they return instant results, but they would not qualify as an FBI name check. Background Check & Search includes current phone number, address, address history for 30 years, age, birthdates, household members, relatives, associates, property ownership, lawsuits, marriage, divorce, criminal records check, sex offenders, terrorist watch, bankruptcy, tax liens,

Amazing work Jon. Just wow. Like Aug said, Mary is a brave woman.

[Gold9472]

Thanks. I haven't heard from Mary in a long time. I know she was still affiliated with Tom Flocco (who lost all credibility), but other than that, I don't know what she's up to, or if she's still affiliated with Tom.

[Gold9472]

Mary was credible. I talked to her lawyer, I read a report from the CATO Institute about her... however, the really important stuff, aside from Mary's info, is the fact that the 9/11 Commission said no terrorists were allowed to leave the country at the time Saudi's were being flown out, and Khalil Bin Laden was suspected of having ties to terrorism, and was on those flights.

A waterfront mansion that once belonged to Osama Bin Laden's brother has a new owner.

The property, which had been vacant for seven years, sits off of highway 50 in Winter Garden, west of Orlando.

Khalili Bin Laden owned the lakefront home that sits on seventeen acres. Days following the 9-11 terrorist attacks, he was airlifted out of Orlando International Airport and hasn't been back since.

The new owner's name and purchase price has not been released.
