DHS Inspector General report finds 40% vetting error rate in Biden Afghan resettlement asylum files

A DHS Office of Inspector General report dated September 23, 2026 found a 40% error rate in a sample of 678 asylum applications from the 13,682 adjudicated under Operation Allies Welcome, the Biden administration's 2021 Afghan resettlement program. Errors included 303 missed aliases, 23 missing security checks, 45 unresolved records, and 115 other documentation issues, with two cases involving potential terrorism-related inadmissibility. USCIS agreed with all recommendations while noting broader screening safeguards remained in place.
