Eben Brown: 报道了阿富汗籍男子纳西尔·艾哈迈德·塔维迪在协助美国中央情报局后被撤离至美国，现被指控策划选举日恐怖袭击，引发了人们对宽松移民政策的担忧。此事件突显了美国政府在移民审查和边境安全方面面临的挑战。 Dana Perino, Steve Ducey, Tyrus: 讨论了塔维迪案重新引发了人们对移民审查的担忧，质疑其是否在来美前就已完全激进化，还是之后才激进化。他们认为此案突显了当前移民政策中可能存在的漏洞，以及对潜在恐怖分子的审查机制的不足。 Adam Shaw: 详细分析了塔维迪案，并对美国政府的移民审查流程提出了质疑。他指出，尽管塔维迪曾为CIA工作并接受过多次审查，但他最终还是策划了恐怖袭击，这引发了人们对现有审查机制有效性的担忧。他还提到了边境巡逻人员对审查流程的担忧，以及南部边境偷渡者缺乏审查的问题。他认为，塔维迪的案例以及其他类似事件，都突显了美国在边境安全和恐怖主义威胁方面面临的严峻挑战。 Adam Shaw: 进一步阐述了塔维迪案以及其他类似事件，例如夏季发生的塔吉克斯坦八名国民被捕事件，都突显了对恐怖主义的担忧。他强调了国土安全部对自身审查系统的信心，以及边境巡逻人员对审查流程有效性的担忧。他还提到了人道主义假释项目中发现的欺诈行为，以及政府对审查流程的重新检查和加强。

Shownotes Transcript

Federal prosecutors in Oklahoma are building a case against Nasir Ahmad

Tawhedi, who is alleged to have planned a mass attack on Election Day on behalf of the

Islamic State terror

Tawhedi did not slip past border patrol in Texas; instead, he was invited and transported to the

U.S. by the government itself.

He had previously worked for the CIA and other entities in Afghanistan and was evacuated with his family when the U.S. military withdrew in September 2021.

Was Tawhedi always a jihadist waiting for the chance to strike? Investigators don't believe so.

However, the pressing question is why Tawhedi was not deemed a risk despite his

history with U.S. intelligence. Furthermore, does the current immigration policy have loopholes that allowed him to evade scrutiny?

Adam Shaw, who covers immigration and border security for FOX Digital, joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to analyze Tawhedi's case and how it is once again raising questions about America's immigration policies and our ability to vet anyone who crosses into our country legally or illegally.
