Horrible: DHS Picks Up Gay Asylum Seeker With Wife

This is one of the best stories so far on fake asylum seekers

ICE arrests illegal alien who allegedly faked asylum claim based on homosexuality, became Indiana jail officer

Federal officials on Sunday revealed to Fox News Digital that immigration agents arrested a suspected illegal immigrant who allegedly entered the United States under a “fraudulent” asylum claim before later becoming employed as a taxpayer-funded corrections officer in Portland, Indiana.

The detainee, identified as Selah Dine Habib, a native of Mauritania in northwest Africa, was arrested on May 21 after being released into the U.S. by the Biden administration around 2023, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Habib claimed to be homosexual on a pending asylum application, DHS alleged, adding that investigators later discovered he had married a woman after entering the country.

According to local outlet WIBC, which first reported the case, the woman was the daughter of the county sheriff whose office later employed Habib as a correctional officer at the county jail.

“He entered the country illegally in March 2023 near Lukeville, Arizona, and was RELEASED into the country by the Biden administration where he was reportedly hired as a corrections officer in Indiana,” DHS said. “He will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.”

“His pending asylum application is believed to be fraudulent, as he applied based on homosexuality in 2023 but married a woman in 2025,” officials said.

Mauritania is in western Africa, right below Morocco. It’s almost 6,000 miles directly to Arizona, so, the actual distance he traveled is more, and certainly cost some serious cash. He makes a fraudulent claim, which the Biden admin fails to vet properly, then was quickly given a work permit by the Biden admin and then got the job at the jail as an unarmed guard. The sheriff’s department even did an E-verify which came back positive. They did their due diligence to confirm employment capability.

Supposedly he already has a final order of deportation, which he is contesting.
