Afghan Relocated to Missoula by the Biden Administration is Charged with Rape

Missoula, MT (KEYZ) An Afghan refugee placed in Montana by the U.S. State Department has been charged with sexual assault.

The refugee, identified as 19-year-old Zabihullah Mohmand was admitted to the United States and placed in Montana under Humanitarian Parole, which is separate from the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program.

According to court documents, at around 4:30 a.m. on Sunday, the female victim called 911 and reported that she had just been raped by Mohamand at a hotel in Missoula, Montana.

Rapid reactions Thursday from Governor Greg Gianforte, Senator Steve Daines and Representative Matt Rosendale, place this incident at the feet of President Joe Biden and his handling of the situation in Afghanistan.

Gianforte called on President Joe Biden to stop resettlements in the state.

""While I welcome our fully-vetted Afghan allies to Montana, this situation and others across the country raise serious concerns about whether the Biden administration is meeting its obligations to fully vet Afghans prior to resettlement,” Gianforte said. “I'm calling on President Biden to immediately halt resettlements to Montana until federal agencies provide me with adequate assurance that Afghans coming to Montana are fully vetted in accordance with federal law."
