State Department Fires Visa Specialist Caught Helping Illegal Immigrants Evade Law Enforcement

Arslan Akhtar, a State Department Visa Specialist, has been removed from his role following hidden camera footage exposing his cooperation with illegal immigrants and racist beliefs. 

In the footage, obtained by O’Keefe Media group, Akhtar admits to helping illegal immigrants evade law enforcement, professes his desire to see Elon Musklynched,criticizes Jews, and makes sundry more outrageous comments. 

“I do say it to cab drivers that are from, like, Hispanic descent. I’m like,don’t talk to the police’... If you want a loophole, keep your mouth shut,said Akhtar when referring to helping immigrants evade law enforcement. 

“F**ck these people… I hate them to death,continued Akhtar as he spoke about Jews and Israelis.

Shortly after Akhtar’s comments' publication, the State Department allegedly removed Akhtar from his position and explained that a new hire vetting process would be installed.

“Upholding the rule of law and protecting the integrity of our immigration system is essential, which is why the Department will launch a new contractor screening and vetting process,reads a State Department statement. 

The new vetting process for visa officials follows a push to reshape the US’s visa and immigration system. 

Recently, State Secretary Marco Rubio enacted policies to revoke the visas of individuals found to be undermining the US’s national interests. 

Many visa revocation efforts have focused on the visas of foreign students supporting terror groups. 

In late March, Secretary Rubio confirmed he had revoked the visas of hundreds of students participating in antisemitic riots across American University campuses. 

Rubio promised to continue revoking visas untilwe’ve gotten rid of allterrorist sympathizers. 

However, visa restrictions for foreign students did not stop at terrorist sympathizers. 

Recently, Rubio also announced that he will begin to expel or revoke the visas of Chinese students studying at U.S.colleges and universities.

According to SEVP reports, there are over 1.5 million foreign students currently enrolled in American universities. 

Florida possesses one of the largest international student bodies (91,108), surpassed only by Massachusetts, New York, California, and Texas.
