The Department of Homeland Security announced that a 21-year-old Afghan alien, Badshah Sahi, was sentenced to 35 years for multiple child sex charges.

Following the Biden administration’s deadly and chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, Sahi was released into the United States, along with roughly 190,000 Afghan nationals, without proper vetting.

Following an investigation by ICE Homeland Security Investigations Dallas, police departments in Arlington and Forney, as well as sheriff’s offices in Green and Hays Counties, authorities discovered Sahi was producing and was in possession of child sexual abuse material.

“A search of Sahi’s phone at the time of his arrest revealed numerous images and videos of a prepubescent girl and communication with other children online.”

“On at least one occasion, Sahi used an online gaming platform to coerce a child in Indiana to create and send him sexually explicit videos at his direction. The child victim was 10 years old, which was revealed to Sahi during the course of their communications.”

“Additional forensic records revealed that Sahi communicated with a 15-year-old girl in San Marcos and drove to her location, where he recorded himself sexually assaulting her.”

According to court documents, authorities arrested Sahi for sexual assault of a child on Feb. 28, 2025.

Law enforcement believed Sahi was communicating with a 14-year-old girl from his residence in Arlington. Sahi would pick up the girl outside her home in Forney and transport her to various locations to sexually assault her.

On April 1, Sahi pleaded guilty to the charges and has now been sentenced to 35 years in federal prison.

HSI Dallas acting Special Agent in Charge Antwoine Jones noted, “This dangerous child sex offender was recklessly released into the United States without proper vetting during the withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 and went on to prey on innocent children both here in North Texas and online.”

“Thankfully, working with our law enforcement partners, we were able to remove him from the local community and ensure he spends the next 35 years behind bars, where he won’t be able to harm any more children.”

U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould added, “This lengthy sentence sends a resounding message: Child predators will find no safe harbor in the Northern District of Texas.”

“We will find them and ensure they face the full weight of federal prosecution. Our commitment to protecting children is absolute, and we hope this outcome serves as a clear deterrent to anyone contemplating similar crimes.”
