âť“WHAT HAPPENED: Fox News has named Pakistan-born Aishah Hasnie as its new White House correspondent, despite concerns about her ability to be impartial on the issues of immigration and the deportation of illegal immigrants.
👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Aishah Hasnie, Fox News, illegal immigrants, and the Trump White House.
đź“ŤWHEN & WHERE:Â December 2025.
🎯IMPACT: Hasnie formerly moonlighted as a board member for USA for UNHCR, a globalist nonprofit group that supports the pro-open borders United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), signalling potential bias on topics concerning illegal immigrants and asylum seekers.
Fox News has named Pakistan-born Aishah Hasnie as its new White House correspondent, despite concerns about her ability to be impartial on the issues of immigration and the deportation of illegal immigrants. Hasnie formerly moonlighted as a board member for USA for UNHCR, a globalist nonprofit group that supports the pro-open borders United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
The National Pulse previously reported on Hasnie’s concerning ties in 2023 when she was named as the television news network’s congressional correspondent. Her now past affiliation with USA for UNHCR still raises questions regarding objectivity, especially as the Trump administration appears poised to enter its next phase of illegal immigrant deportations.
On Tuesday, President Donald J. Trump ordered U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to focus on arresting and detaining illegal Somali immigrants in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area in Minnesota. Meanwhile, ICE finalized a $29.9 million contract for the conceptual design of retrofitting large warehouses across the United States to serve as mega detention facilities. This comes as federal immigration judges have handed down a record 500,000 removal orders over the last year.
Based in Washington, D.C. and established in 1989, USA for UNHCR purports to work “…with refugees from their greatest time of need – from emergency or crisis and beyond through the months and likely years that many are displaced from their home countries.”
The charity’s financial disclosures reveal that it primarily acts as a fundraising vehicle for the U.N.’s High Commissioner for Refugees itself. In 2022, USA for UNHCR reported just over $234 million in revenue, with $182 million passed on as grants to the United Nations. The charity’s website even blurs the lines between its organization and the official U.N. refugee agency, listing U.N. efforts as if they were its own, and even replicating the U.N.’s logo.
Hasnie joined Fox News in 2019 and was named the network’s congressional correspondent in August 2021. She joined the board of USA for UNHCR on December 20, 2021. In an interview in late 2021, Hasnie described herself as “a deeply faithful person. I’m Muslim, and I pray five times a day.”
It is unclear when she left the board of the USA for UNHCR, though she is no longer listed on the nonprofit’s website as a member.
