ICE Arrests Afghan National Mohammad Amini in D.C., Says His Record Includes a Sex Offense Against a Child
ICE Washington announced the arrest on X Thursday. The agency gave no date or place for the earlier offense and no detail on the new accusation.
Federal immigration officers arrested an Afghan national in Washington, D.C., who is accused of fondling a child, according to 7News in Washington.
The announcement. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement identified the man as Mohammad Amini in a post on X on Thursday. ICE said his criminal history includes a sex offense against a child. It did not say when or where that happened.
What happens next. Amini will remain in ICE custody while his deportation proceedings continue, 7News reports.
What is missing. The station's report gives no arrest date, no details of the new accusation, no court record and no immigration history. We have not seen ICE's post ourselves, so everything here comes from 7News.
Related. 7News linked to a separate report that a DHS watchdog found vetting errors in 40 percent of Afghan asylum applications under the Biden administration. That report is not part of this story, and we have not read it.
Note for readers: "accused" is the station's word and ours. An accusation is not a conviction, and ICE's account has not been tested in court as far as the report shows.
