Shah Mahmoud Selab, a member of President Biden’s Afghan airlift in November 2021 flew into Philadelphia International Airport and was “paroled” quickly into the community before making his way to the West.

In August 2021 he was living in Las Cruces, New Mexico. He accosted a 12 year-old boy on a hot, clear summer day. He began by showing explicit images to the boy on his phone. Then he rubbed the boy’s genitals. Finally, he punched him and chased him through a park into the restroom. Selab hit the boy, kissed the boy, and then tried to make the boy touch his penis while attempting to force him to pay $20.

Someone knocked at the bathroom door and someone escaped with a bruised, bleeding child. Selab responded, preventing the sexual attack from becoming a rape.

Selab has been convicted.

The government sentencing recommendation made by prosecutors to the judge revealed a shocking admission: He was arrested in Afghanistan for criminal offenses in 2013, but “no information is available about this arrest.”

Selab is just one of many high-profile migrants who ended up in America during the Biden Administration and were later linked to crimes of heinous proportions.

Some victims are well known.

Rachel Morin was raped, slain and murdered on the Ma & Pa Trail in Bel Air, Maryland. Laken Riley was raped, killed and stabbed while out jogging in Athens Georgia. Kayla Hamilton was strangled to death in her Aberdeen, Maryland room by a phone charging cord.

Other victims remain anonymous. For example, the 49-year old man who was lured at the back of the Chicago commuter train to choke him unconscious for $400 and a cell phone. Four Venezuelan migrants who live in a government shelter have been charged with this crime.

Illegal immigrants committing crimes, this is not a new phenomenon.

Experts say that the crime rate and severity have changed in the last 3 1/2 years. New accounts show savagery.

Alexis Nungaray described to Congress, last month, how her 12-year-old daughter was raped and murdered. Her body, stripped down from the waist, had been dumped in a Texas stream, with her hands and feet bound. The mother was told by investigators that the two migrants had hoped to wash away any evidence of DNA.

“Individuals such as that don’t have a soul.” “They are predators and monsters,” said Ms.Nungaray to the House Judiciary Committee. “I think the open-border policy of the Biden-Harris Administration is responsible for my daughter’s death.”

After fighting Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for months, the committee was able to obtain the secret immigration records of those involved in high-profile crimes. Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican chairman, has outlined the criminals’ backgrounds and their journey to the U.S. in a series reports.

The committee focused on 15 migrants, and at least 11 of them were caught-and-released cases. This means that the government held them at the border, or at a port-of-entry, but let them go. Often, this was done through Mr. Mayorkas’ parole programs.

Only two cases were deemed “getaways” by border authorities. Other cases were not clear.

The Judiciary Committee obtained immigration files known as “A files” in some cases that show Border Patrol agents checking the migrants’ records against U.S. databases. The committee found that the A files sometimes show no checks. They concluded that the agents were overwhelmed by the sheer number of migrants and could not do the necessary checks.

Agents sometimes did not check for warning signs but still missed them, as in the Hamilton murder case.

Walter Javier Martinez, after his arrest, was contacted by detectives in El Salvador to find out that he was associated with MS-13. He also had a criminal record there, which, at the least, should’ve kept him behind bars.

He was instead sent to live in a trailer park with Hamilton, who he eventually killed.

This summer, he pleaded guilty to first-degree homicide.

Martinez, who was 16 years old when he arrived in the United States without his parents and became what the government refers to as an unaccompanied child alien, is now considered a minor by that country.

Juan Carlos Garcia Rodriguez, the Guatemalan accused of killing 11-year old Maria Gonzalez, and stuffing the body under the bed, was also a UAC. So too, one of the Venezuelans charged in the Chicago Train Attack.

Many migrants had criminal records for years before they were charged with the crimes that attracted national attention.

Jose Barrera Amaya was arrested in Missouri in November last year on charges of drunken and disorderly behavior and fighting. He was originally expelled from the country under Title 42’s pandemic public emergency border policy, but later returned to it as a fugitive. He was taken into custody by immigration officials, but they determined that he did not meet the threshold to be detained. They released him under his own recognizance after he promised to stay out of trouble.

The committee stated that it didn’t last.

He was charged in March with assault of the first degree. Missouri authorities claim he stabbed 2 men in a laundry. The A file did not indicate a criminal past, but media outlets reported that he had been involved in killings committed in Honduras prior to coming to the U.S.

Jose Ibarra, a Georgian, had a long list of raps before he was charged with the murder of Riley, a nursing student.

In New York City, he was charged with injuring a minor and in Georgia he was arrested on charges of shoplifting. He also failed to appear in front of a court. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a deportation request only after Mr. Ibarra was arrested for Riley’s murder.

Illegal immigrants are also responsible for more common illegal behaviors.

Fairfax County in Virginia has seen a rash of cases where illegal immigrants have been charged with sexual crimes against teenage girls.

Illegal immigrants who were paroled to the U.S. by Mr. Mayorkas now appear at the U.S. Mexico border as accomplices, helping smuggle in the next wave migrants.

Yojani Becerra Ramirez, a Venezuelan in parole, was arrested near Naco Arizona last week. Two illegal immigrants were found in the car, according to agents.

These crimes can be prevented

Former President Donald Trump made illegal immigration crimes a central part of his campaign for president — and gave victims’ families an important platform to blame Mr. Biden. This includes the time spent at the Republican National Convention in this summer.

Mr. Trump has called the phenomenon “migrant crimes.”

Andrew “Art” Arthur is a former immigration court judge and the head of the National Security Law Division at the old Immigration and Naturalization Service. He said that the crimes committed in the recent past are different.

These crimes shocked the conscience of many people
