The DHS placed Ali being placed on paid leave pending further investigation.
Nejwa Ali, who joined the DHS in 2019, had previously worked for the PLO in 2016 and 2017, raising eyebrows about her connections to organizations with a history of conflict with U.S. interests.
These allegations bring into question the vetting process within government agencies and the potential security risks associated with such appointments.
U.S. Senator J.D. Vance said that Nejwa Ali “A terrorist sympathizer comes to America and then gets to determine who we admit to our country. Just an insane story.”
“Something is deeply broken with our immigration enforcement. And it starts with Mayorkas,” he added.
Alejandro N. Mayorkas is the current Secretary of Homeland Security in the United States.

Senator Cruz’s allegations did not stop with Nejwa Ali. He specifically pointed to Rob Malley, the former chief negotiator for Iran in the Biden administration, whom he described as an Iran sympathizer. This accusation has triggered a flurry of debates and investigations within the U.S. government.
