The story caught my eye as I was driving back from Plentywood, Montana Wednesday. The suspect and the alleged victim reportedly met at a Missoula bar, and a 911 call was placed from a downtown hotel. Here's the original story that we also shared on 'Montana Talks.'Īccording to Chrestenson's report, the suspect has been identified as 19-year-old Zabihullah Mohmand. 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.Ĭredit goes to KGVO radio's Nick Chrestenson for first reporting this story on Wednesday. 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.
