Ex-DHS Employee: Obama Killed Operation That Could Have Stopped Calif. Attack

Phillip Haney DHSPhillip Haney, a former Homeland Security employee who was part of an operation in California to investigate possible terrorists, told Fox News that if the Obama White House had not shut down his program in 2012, he could have prevented last week’s San Bernardino attack that killed 14 people.

Haney, appearing Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “The Kelly File,” said his program identified the mosque attended by Syed Farook, who with his wife, Tashfeen Malik, carried out the mass shooting, as being the home of a group of individuals already being investigated.

“As we were tracking them, we would have put the red light on them,” Haney said.

“Therefore, two things very plausibly would have happened: Either Syed would have been put on the no-fly list because of the association with that mosque and/or the K-1 visa his wife was given would have been denied because of his affiliation with a known organization.”

Farook traveled to Saudi Arabia and obtained a fiancée visa for Malik to enter the country in 2014 even though she reportedly had been radicalized in Saudi Arabia before moving to the United States.

Haney, a founding member of the Department of Homeland Security, said he filed a Freedom of Information Act request to find out why the plug had been pulled on his program.

The reason, he said, was because the administration said the case was based on targeting a specific Islamic group.

DHS told Fox News there are holes in Haney’s story, but declined to elaborate, citing privacy laws.

  1. The President was correct since this operation constituted racial profiling and wouldn’t have prevented the workplace incident in California. What we really need are tougher laws to control who can obtain guns and bombs!

  2. @Charlie Hall,
    Ask any Israeli who knows anything about security. Racial profiling saves lives. Political correctness causes lives to be lost.

  3. Racial or religious profiling is a powerful tool and should not be denied do to politically correct reasons since the safety of the public is at stake. Haney says it would have helped so how can Gall contradict him?

    Gun laws have never stopped criminals and terrorists from getting weapons and bombs. Only law abiding citizens are prevented from protecting themselves by these idiotic Leftist laws.

  4. california has one of the strictest gun laws, foolish to even pursue this argument in this case or in any terror case-mind you

  5. California has from the strictest gun laws. foolish to even pursue this argument in this case or in any terror case, mind you.
