🚨 SECURITY BREACH🚨 Saddam’s intel officer was living in Michigan. Raad Alanbagi was detained yesterday by Federal agents. If we cannot catch a man from the Mukhabarat before he settles here, we are not vetting. We are guessing. Vet them. Watch who is already here. Remove the ones who lied. A country that will not screen its guests will not stay a country.
