They are both Egyptian nationals. One of them. Ahmed Mohammed. entered the United States on a student visa. However. I learned he had previously been arrested in Egypt and that he even declared his arrest on his visa form. I wanted a copy of his visa application and other documents to investigate how our screening system for visa applicants could still be so broken 7 years after 9/11. Both the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department have thus far refused to comply. Why would they want to keep information such as this from a Member of the Senate. who has responsibility for appropriating enough money to make sure we can keep terrorists from doing another attack against American citizens?
