**65 Afghan Suspected Terrorists Let Into the US**
-
Over 65 terrorists identified as “national security risks” were allowed into the U.S. in the 12 months after the catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
-
Some of these individuals included militants who left fingerprints on improvised explosive devices (IEDs) intended to kill Americans in Afghanistan, and a prisoner freed by the Taliban.
-
The Biden administration's flawed vetting process and severe staff shortages were cited as reasons for allowing these individuals into the U.S., with around 70 percent of those evacuated from Afghanistan not being American citizens, green card holders, or part of the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program.
-
A [**new book**]([link removed] 202308-24&utm_medium=email) has just been published on the disastrous withdrawal, based on hundreds of interviews with servicemembers, senior intelligence officials, high-ranking members of allied governments, and Americans and Afghan allies who were eyewitnesses to the withdrawal.

-
U.S. border authorities admitted extremist preacher Mizanur Rahman Azhari into the U.S. to speak at an Islamist conference in Philadelphia, despite his previous exclusion from the U.K. due to his extremism.
-
Azhari's history includes hate-filled statements, blaming Jews for various global issues, calling them terrorists, and praising Hitler's actions against Jews.
-
Bangladeshi activists are calling for Azhari's visa to be revoked, citing his documented hate speech and associations with extremist individuals and groups. Azhari is scheduled to speak at a conference organized by the Muslim Ummah of North America (MUNA), which has a history of embracing extremist rhetoric. **[Read More]([link removed] 202308-24&utm_medium=email)**

Hostile Foreign Influence Operations
------------------------------------

**
**Former FBI Agent Pleads Guilty to Conspiring to Violate US Sanctions on Russia**
-
Charles McGonigal, former Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the FBI Counterintelligence Division in New York, pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and committing money laundering.
-
McGonigal admitted to providing services to Oleg Deripaska, a sanctioned Russian oligarch, in violation of U.S. sanctions imposed on Deripaska in 2018. This violation included investigating a rival Russian oligarch in exchange for concealed payments from Deripaska. **[Read More]([link removed] 202308-24&utm_medium=email)**
**Congressman Says Chinese Spies Hacked His Email**
-
Republican U.S. Representative Don Bacon revealed that the FBI warned him about his emails being hacked by Chinese spies, compromising both personal and campaign messages.
-
Bacon stated that the Chinese Communist Party had access to his accounts for around a month until June 16. The hack seems to be related to a vulnerability in Microsoft software, possibly referring to a recent hacking campaign disclosed by Microsoft that targeted senior U.S. officials' emails.
-
Bacon, a former Air Force brigadier general, is known for his public support for Taiwan and critical views on China's treatment of the Uyghur community. The Chinese Embassy dismissed the development as a "smear" and "groundless narrative," while the FBI and Microsoft declined to comment. **[Read More]([link removed] 202308-24&utm_medium=email)**
**North Korean Hackers Target U.S.-South Korea Military Drills**
-
Suspected North Korean hackers targeted a joint U.S.-South Korea military exercise, but South Korean police reported that no classified information was compromised.

-
The hackers, believed to be linked to a North Korean group called Kimsuky, conducted the hack through spear-phishing emails sent to South Korean contractors working at the South Korea-U.S. combined exercise war simulation center. The police confirmed that military-related information was not stolen. **[Read More]([link removed] 202308-24&utm_medium=email)**
Research and Trends in Extremism
---------------------------------
*STAFF/AFP via Getty Images*
**
**New Study Shows Social Media and Search Algorithms Contribute to Online Hate**
-
Studies by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and Tech Transparency Project (TTP) reveal that major social media platforms and search engines can contribute to the spread of online antisemitism, hate, and extremism.
-
Researchers created online personas to simulate user experiences on platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The first study found that three out of four platforms recommended extremist and antisemitic content. YouTube was an exception, resisting recommending such content.
-
The second study focused on search functions, highlighting how these platforms enabled users to easily find hateful content and groups by auto-completing terms and even generating hateful content. Instagram, owned by Meta, was found recommending virulent antisemitic content to a 14-year-old persona.
-
ADL proposes reforms including refining algorithms and recommendation engines to avoid promoting hate content, updating legislation to hold platforms accountable for algorithmic impact on hate and extremism, and enforcing transparency in platform practices. **[Read More]([link removed] 202308-24&utm_medium=email)**
**Appeals Court Upholds Pro-Life Activists' Claim That DC Selectively Enforced Statute**
-
A federal appeals court has ruled in favor of anti-abortion protesters, citing First Amendment grounds, and stating that Washington, D.C. likely discriminated against them by arresting them for chalking a sidewalk, while not doing the same for Black Lives Matter protesters engaged in similar activity.
-
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously overturned a lower court's opinion, allowing the lawsuit to proceed.
-
The anti-abortion protesters were arrested in 2020 for chalking "Black Pre-Born Lives Matter" on a public sidewalk, while the city seemed to abandon enforcement of the same ordinance for "Black Lives Matter" chalkings after George Floyd's killing. The appeals court emphasized the need for equal treatment of messages in public forums. **[Read More]([link removed] 202308-24&utm_medium=email)**
