A Department of Homeland Security officer was put on leave after praising Hamas and sharing extremist content on social media – including one post where she wrote, ‘F*** Israel … we are ready for your downfall.’ 

Nejwa Ali, 36, who joined the US Citizenship and Immigration Services in 2019 and held the position of an asylum officer, was placed on leave on Wednesday, following the revelation of her controversial history. 

She works at assisting asylum seekers through the immigration process, before moving to Homeland Security earlier this year. 

Along with years of alarming social media posts, it was also revealed that she previously served as a spokesperson for the Palestinian Liberation Organization delegation in the US – a group once led by Yasser Arafat – which has been called a terrorist organization by US officials. 

In one recent post, Ali shared a disturbing image featuring paragliders armed with AK-47s with the caption ‘Free Palestine,’ glorifying the terrorists responsible for killing over 1,400 in Israel.

The Daily Wire exposed years of concerning posts made by Ali, including one in which she expressed disdain for what she referred to as ‘Israeli and American privilege.’

It’s unclear how Ali was hired in the first place in government roles and the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) given her alarming previous posts and ties to the PLO. 

‘USCIS strongly condemns antisemitism and the use of violent rhetoric in any form,’ USCIS spokesperson Matthew Bourke told Newsweek. ‘USCIS employees are held to high ethical standards both on and off duty, including their presence on social media. Any violation of these standards is taken seriously by the agency.’

 The Daily Wire reached Ali who angrily replied when asked abuot her past. 

‘That’s none of your f****** business. Mind your business before I call the police. If I were you I’d respectfully hang up the phone right now,’ she reportedly told the outlet.  

In Her posts, Ali claimed all Israelis should be held accountable for their government’s actions if they do not condemn Israel. 

‘Israeli, American privilege is disgusting. When Israelis acknowledge the government and military are solely responsible for the attack. Period,’ she wrote. ‘I hold every Israeli accountable for their governments  actions, IF they do not speak against Israel.’ 

Additionally, on October 9, Ali shared a post on Facebook titled ‘How Nejwa wakes up,’ along with a video captioned ‘F*** Israel and any Jew that supports Israel.’

She featured a photo that declared, ‘A nation that has nothing but Allah has everything it will ever need,’ alongside an anti-Semitic caricature of a Jewish nose.

Along with years of alarming social media posts, it was also revealed that she previously served as a spokesperson for the Palestinian Liberation Organization delegation in the US – a group once led by Yasser Arafat – which has been called a terrorist organization by US officials 

Prior to her current position, Ali worked as a public affairs officer for the Palestinian Delegation to the US in 2016 and 2017, according to her LinkedIn profile, which, according to its own website, served as the ‘PLO office in D.C.’ 

When the office was expelled by the Trump administration, Ali secured a job at DHS as an ‘Asylum Officer,’ where she was responsible for ‘applying immigration laws and regulations to asylum applications.’

This year, she began working as an Adjudication Officer for the US Citizenship and Immigration Services, where she was tasked ‘analyze new or amended legislation and policy, prepare written reports of findings, and review and make determinations on cases for immigration benefits.’

Ali’s social media, including her Instagram, ‘Falastine Mi Amor,’ appears to have been deleted.
