An Afghan man on the terror watch list was apprehended and released by border patrol in 2023. He was recently picked up by ICE and then released on bond by the immigration judge with no restrictions and told to report back next year for his court date.
"After processing Kharwin and taking his biometric data, Customs and Border Protection released him as they would any other migrant, without contacting the FBI or Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. officials said.
Kharwin was then able to apply for asylum and work authorization, and fly domestically in the United States, the officials said.
Kharwin is on the national terror watchlist maintained by the FBI, which contains the names of 1.8 million individuals considered potential security risks. The database indicates he is a member of Hezb-e-Islami, or HIG, a political and paramilitary organization that the U.S. has designated a terrorist organization."

NBCNews reporting an Afghan on the FBI terror watchlist has spent almost a year in the U.S. after he was caught & released by Border Patrol at the California border in March 2023. NBC reports the watchlist shows he is a member of Hezb-e-Islami, a U.S. designated terrorist group responsible for the deaths of at least nine American soldiers and civilians in Afghanistan.
NBC reports that in February, the FBI tipped off ICE that he may be a national security threat, and ICE later arrested him in San Antonio, TX.
He was held in ICE detention until his court hearing two weeks ago, when a federal immigration judge ordered he be released on bond, despite ICE prosecutors arguing he’s a flight risk.
He is now out on bond, able to roam the U.S., with another court date next year.
