Biden DHS official placed on leave after pro-Palestinian ties revealed

A Department of Homeland Security official was put on leave after a report that they had previously worked for the Palestinian Liberation Organization.

A DHS spokesman told the Washington Examiner that Nejwa Ali had been placed on administrative leave. Ali and the DHS came under fierce criticism from congressional Republicans and pro-Israeli figures after it was revealed that she was reportedly formerly a spokeswoman for the PLO.

She was also found to have made inflammatory comments about Jews, a Daily Wire investigation found, drawing widespread outrage.
