As the US President Donald Trump’s administration hardens its crackdown against Afghan immigrants following the National Guard shooting, the Department of Homeland Security shared details of several criminals of Afghan origin, making a series of posts on social media platform X. This comes after the US State Department on Friday (Nov 28) announced an immediate pause on visa issuance for Afghan passport holders.Earlier this week, two National Guard officers were shot by an Afghan suspect. One of the officers lost her life, while the other is in critical condition, Trump said on his Truth Social platform.“Tens of thousands of unvetted Afghan aliens have hurt and terrorized Americans after the Biden administration flooded our communities with criminals, terrorists, and other threats,” the DHS wrote on X. “These are just a few of the criminals who have rewarded American generosity with violence.”Posting some of the arrests of Afghan nationals, the statement added, “These are just a few of the criminals who were said to be ‘fully vetted’ by the Biden administration. Americans do not have to suffer violence from people who should not be here at all.”“WE WILL SEND THEM BACK,” it added.The DHS earlier said that an Afghan national, Mohammad Dawood Alokozay, was arrested on Tuesday after he allegedly made a social media post in which he talked about “building a bomb” and threatening to blow up a building in Fort Worth, Texas. According to court records, Alokozay is being held on state terror charges in Tarrant County, Texas.Among the listed criminals were:<ul><li>Jamal Wali, who reportedly “shot and wounded two Fairfax, Virginia, police officers during a routine traffic stop.”</li><li>Abdullah Haji Zada and Nasir Ahmed Tawhedi, who were arrested and prosecuted in connection with a terrorist attack in Oklahoma City on Election Day 2024.</li><li>Mohammad Kharwin, an Afghan national who was on the terror watchlist.</li><li>Javid Ahmadi, arrested by ICE in 2025 and convicted of second degree assault.</li><li>Bahrullah Noori, who was charged with attempting to engage in a sexual act with a minor using force along with three other counts of engaging in a sex act with a minor.</li><li>Zabihullah Mohmand, who was charged with the rape of a teenage girl in a Missoula motel room.</li></ul>

Pakistan on Thursday abolished the long-standing facility of on-arrival visas for Afghan nationals, authorities said, citing security risks amid a spike in terror attacks.

Earlier, Afghan nationals were granted a 30-day visa on arrival at the entry points but now they will be required to apply for a visa from Pakistani missions in Afghanistan, Federal Investigation Agency's Director Immigration Ismatullah Junejo was quoted as saying by the Express Tribune.

The Immigration Wing of the FIA cited increased security risks from the western border as a reason for the move.

Furthermore, the government also restricted the movement of Afghan nationals in Pakistan and stopped issuance of visas at airports and border crossing points.

Once issued a visa, the Afghan nationals will be allowed entry into Pakistan. Upon entry, they will be asked to fill out details including the time period and place of stay. The details will be forwarded to security agencies for verification, the report said.

Once the details are verified, the Afghan nationals will be issued residence and travel permits, the report added.

Pakistan has the largest refugee population in the world, according to the United Nations.

Most of these refugees 2.7 million to be precise ? are Afghan nationals who fled their country due to war, violence and ensuing economic turmoil and thousands other daily enter Pakistan for business, medical and educational purposes or meet their relatives.

The UN surveys estimate that 60 per cent of the Afghan refugee population is Pakistan-born.

It is believed that the new visa rules will create problems for those who need timely medical attention or other urgent visits.

The move to restrict Afghans came as Pakistan already decided to issue 'on-arrival' visas to citizens of 24 countries to increase tourism and investments.

They include citizens from Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Belgium, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Norway, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom, Thailand, Spain, and Singapore, immigration officials said.

Last month, the Pakistan Army said that the fencing of a substantial portion of the over 2,600-km-long Afghan border has been completed and the rest will be finished by the end of 2019.

Pakistan and neighbouring Afghanistan have long been saying that militants in both countries cross the porous border for terror attacks.
