Biden Naturalized This Man Despite Five Prior Convictions and Now DHS Employee Lauren Bullis Is Dead
Joe Biden handed this man American citizenship despite five violent convictions on his record.
Two weeks ago, that man allegedly murdered a DHS employee walking her dog.
Biden's vetting process approved him anyway – and nobody in his administration will explain why.
Olaolukitan Adon Abel Had Five Convictions Before Biden Gave Him Citizenship
Olaolukitan Adon Abel had five convictions on his record before Biden's USCIS stamped his naturalization papers in 2022.
Sexual battery. Battery against a police officer. Obstruction. Assault with a deadly weapon. Vandalism.
Five separate convictions – and Biden's immigration apparatus looked at that file and said "Welcome to America."
On April 13, Abel allegedly used his American citizenship to shoot and stab Lauren Bullis outside her home in Brookhaven, Georgia, while she was walking her dog.
Lauren was an Auditor and Team Leader at DHS's Office of Inspector General – an agency dedicated to keeping the government honest.
She was 36 years old.
The Lauren Bullis Murder Was Part of a Three-Victim Killing Spree
This wasn't a single moment of violence.
Authorities have also arrested Abel in connection with the shooting death of an unidentified woman outside a Checkers restaurant.
Then he allegedly shot a homeless man multiple times outside a nearby Kroger.
Three victims in what prosecutors believe was a killing spree – carried out by a man who cleared Biden's citizenship process despite a rap sheet that would disqualify most people from getting a library card.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin didn't mince words.
"These acts of pure evil have devastated our Department and my prayers are with the families of the victims," Mullin said Tuesday.
This Isn't a Bug – It Was Biden's Policy
The Obama and Biden administrations spent years systematically weakening naturalization vetting requirements.
In 2021, Biden's USCIS rolled back Trump-era policies that had added scrutiny to applicants with criminal records.
The rationale – from advocates who pushed the changes – was that criminal history screenings were "discriminatory" and created "barriers" to citizenship.
Lauren Bullis paid for that ideology with her life.
Trump's team identified this problem on day one and moved fast.
USCIS launched a new vetting center in December 2025 to screen for terrorists, criminal aliens, and applicants who can't demonstrate basic moral character.
The agency also restored neighborhood investigations of citizenship applicants in November 2025 – a practice Biden had abandoned – to verify residency, loyalty, and fitness for naturalization.
Democrats Buried the Mechanism That Could Have Saved Her
Here's what the Biden administration actually did when they gutted immigration enforcement: they didn't just make the border easier to cross.
They made it easier to become a citizen with a violent criminal record.
Abel was born in the United Kingdom, came to the United States, racked up five convictions, and in 2022 Biden's USCIS handed him a passport.
There's a federal statute – 8 U.S.C. § 1427 – that requires citizenship applicants to demonstrate "good moral character" for the five years before their application.
Five convictions including sexual battery and assault with a deadly weapon – and Biden's USCIS approved him anyway.
Lauren Bullis dedicated her career to auditing government programs and finding where the system failed.
The cruelest part of this story is that the system failure that killed her is exactly the kind of thing she spent her professional life trying to prevent.
Trump's new vetting protocols exist because of cases like this. Democrats will call them "anti-immigrant." They should have to explain that position to Lauren's family.
