A radical pro-Hamas Biden admin staffer is scrubbing her social media posts. The Daily Wire captured her radical views in support for Palestinian freedom, including images of Hamas terrorists paragliding into Israel armed.
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) exposed toxic statements by DHS staffer Nejwa Ali, describing them as “indefensible” and coming from an “antisemitic radical.”
Indefensible. This antisemitic radical should be fired immediately.

Biden “Department of Homeland Security officer is repeatedly posting pictures of Hamas terrorists parachuting in with guns and writing, ‘F*** Israel and any Jew who supports Israel.’” https://t.co/bO7jOCrYnI
Over the years, Ali has shared her radical, profanity-laden criticisms of Israel on Instagram and LinkedIn, expressing hope that Hamas militants would one day liberate the Palestinian people from their territories in Gaza and the West Bank.
After Hamas attacked Israel, burning civilian families alive and beheading babies in their cribs, Ali posted, “F*** Israel and any Jew who supports Israel.” She continued, “F*** Israel, the government, and its military. Are you ready for your downfall?” Two days later, she posted an antisemitic cartoon featuring a caricature with an exaggerated nose.
Ali, who goes by the alias “Falestine Mi Amor,” joined the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2019 after her position at the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) in Washington, D.C. was terminated due to the Trump administration’s expulsion of the organization from the country. During her tenure at the PLO, she served as an “Asylum Officer” with responsibilities that included “applying immigration laws and regulations to asylum applications.”

In January, Ali transitioned to the U.S. Customs and Immigration Service (CIS) in the role of an “Adjudication Officer.” The CIS defines this role as being responsible “analyz[ing] new or amended legislation and policy, prepar[ing] written reports of findings, and review[ing] and mak[ing] determinations on cases for immigration benefits.” Adjudication officers also play a vital role in ensuring that immigrants entering the country do not pose a domestic terrorism threat.
When The Daily Caller inquired about whether Ali underwent a thorough vetting process before her hiring at CIS, a division of DHS, spokesman Matthew Bourke responded, “USCIS strongly condemns antisemitism and the use of violent rhetoric in any form.”
Bourke continued, “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.”

Yet, it appears there has been no retribution for Ali.
She told The Daily Wire, when asked if she disclosed her employment with the PLO to DHS, “That’s none of your f***ing business. Mind your business before I call the police. If I were you I’d respectfully hang up the phone right now.”
When asked if her pro-Hamas views conflicted with her job responsibilities, the unrepentant anti-Semitist said, “That does not affect the ability to do my job at all. You can mind your own business.”
Then the Department of Homeland Security gave her the power to determine the eligibility of individuals seeking entry into the United States as immigrants or “asylum seekers.”
