An Afghani national has been caught and charged with an election day terrorist plan of attack.
From the article:

Tawhedi along with unnamed co-conspirators — including a juvenile who is Tawhedi’s brother-in-law — took several steps to carry out the attack in the U.S., including selling their family home and their belongings and were in the process of relocating their family abroad and purchasing firearms and ammunition, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday.
Twenty-seven-year-old Tawhedi traveled to the U.S. in September 2021, days after the U.S. withdrew from Afghanistan. He was initially paroled into the U.S. on Sept. 9, 2021, and currently has a pending application for lawful permanent resident status based upon an approved petition for a Special Immigrant Visa, according to a Department of Homeland Security official.
The U.S. offers Special Immigrant Visas to individuals who worked with its armed forces or under chief of mission authority as a translator or interpreter in either Iraq or Afghanistan, according to the State Department.
“Every Afghan being resettled in the United States undergoes a rigorous screening and vetting process no matter which U.S. government agency they worked with,” a U.S. official told CBS News. “That process includes checking against a full range of relevant U.S. records and holdings.”
The CIA declined to comment. NBC News first reported Tawhedi’s employment at the CIA.

And of course the CIA is being tight-lipped about it. The cover has been blown.
