The DHS says that the illegal migrant of Seattle, former military-American, has a long criminal record

First on Fox: THE Department of Internal Security (DHS) revealed that an illegal migrant in Pakistan, which served in the American army, has a long history of criminal activities associated with “lies on its military service”.

Muhammad Zahid Chaudhry was originally entered in the United States in 1998 on a B-2 visa after intentionally leaving aside the criminal history related to convictions in Australia for having stolen goods, falsified passports and commit a financial fault, according to the DHS. DHS told Fox News Digital that Chaudhry also said that he had been deployed in Iraq, however Ministry of Defense The files show that it has never been deployed.

An official of the Ministry of Defense told Fox News Digital that illegal migrants could not serve in the army and that an individual must have a form of legal status to serve. Holders of green cards (permanent legal residents) can join a branch of the American army.

Immigration managers at American customs and immigration services (USCIS) determined that the falsified forms of Chaudhry and the omission of the criminal history were reasons for withdrawal in 2008, but the Pakistani native made the decision several times for about 17 years.

“The politician of the sanctuary Bruce Harrell and the media pedd a false SOB story on this fraudster in series,” said DHS assistant secretary, Tricia McLaughlin, at Fox News Digital. “President Trump and Secretary Noem The message is clear: illegal criminal foreigners are not welcome in the United States. “”

“Why are the sanctuary politicians and the media continue to peddle stories of sobs of illegal criminals and to dirty our brave agents of the application of ice laws?” McLaughlin added. “Don’t be mistaken, these types of lies contribute to our Officers responsible for the application of ice laws Facing a 1000% increase in attacks. “”

According to a report by the Inspector General obtained by Fox News Digital from 2021, Chaudhry collected $ 449,459.82 in dollars from the taxpayers with the Department of Veterans Combators Administration of benefits (VBA) and currently owes $ 81,080 to the federal government for a mortgage reduction subsidy of the VBA.

Sources of the Ministry of Internal Security told Fox that Chaudhry had entered the country with a B-2 tourist visa and then obtained a green card. After the officials discovered that he had previously lied to immigration officials about his criminal past, the green card has been revoked – making him an illegal migrant in the United States

Chaudhry remains owned by the US immigration and customs forces (ICE) after being arrested during an appearance of citizenship in Tukwila, Washington, on August 21, 2025. He was put in procedure after a immigration judge judged that he had violated the federal immigration law.

Demonstrations in Seattle have since exploded while hundreds of demonstrators stood outside the Ice Detention Center demanding the release of Chaudhry last week.

“Muhammad Chaudhry has criminal history which he has not disclosed and has already rejected permanent residence status by a judge”, rantz de Seattle Red 770 AM told Fox. “And yet, the Democrats always depict him as a kind of victim.”

“If you want to understand why Democrats continue to make no distinction between illegal criminal immigrants and those who work hard who just want a better life, it’s quite easy now,” added Rantz. “When you don’t think borders, you don’t see a difference.”
