Arslan Akhtar, a visa specialist working with the State Department, did not know that he was being recorded on a hidden camera when he took pride in saying that he coaches potential illegal aliens, offers them tips on how to avoid deportation. He also called his Jewish co-workers “garbage people” and opined that Elon Musk should be lynched — speaking to journalist James O’Keefe, who was undercover. The discussion took place inside what looked like a restaurant.The State Department took immediate action and fired Akhtar as the clips for the interview went viral, with social media users asking why a person named Arslan Akhtar got a job in the State Department. The Washington Times confirmed that the department fired Akhtar “upholding the rule of law” as protecting the integrity of the immigration system is essential. The department will also launch a new contractor screening and vetting process, the department said.In the viral video, Akhtar said he gave advice to Hispanic people on avoiding deportation and his first advice is to “keep your mouth shut”. “Sometimes, I do say it to cab drivers that are from, like, Hispanic descent. I’m like, ‘Don’t talk to the police,’” Akhtar said in the video. “I’m just saying, like, don’t admit the truth. That is the ultimate loophole. Always maintain your innocence.”“Don’t give them more information. Don’t tell them what you did, because you think being honest will help your case. It does not. Exact opposite. In fact, that’s all we’re looking for,” he said.Akhtar said the State Department is full of Jewish people, “terrible Jewish people”, ‘like, really garbage people”. “These people are, like, colonists. These people are promoting genocide. These are real awful folks. And you know what the problem is? It’s a cultural issue with these guys.” From his experience of working with Jewish organizations he said all of these people (Jews) are awful and they don’t want change. On Israelis, he said he hates them to death and Yemenis are the most conniving group of folks next to Indians. “Mexican people are nice. They never try to lie for no reason, like Bangladeshi people do,” he said.“It’s a culture of hatred, ultimately, and it’s a culture of dominance,” Akhtar said on White people. “They feel like they have the right to dominate everybody. To claim Greenland, to claim Canada, to claim Israel, Palestine.”In a post on X, the State Department said his dismissal was “just the beginning.”“These radicals with anti-American views have been embedded in our executive branch for generations and we are systematically cleaning out contractors that have allowed this,” said the Friday post. “Let us be clear: If you have these views and you work in or with the State Department, we will find you.”On Elon Musk, Akhtar said, “I would love for him to be dragged out of the building with his hair plugs” and be “lynched on the street.”
