Biden-Harris’ Signature Border Program Allowed 3 ISIS Terror Suspects to Enter the US: Report; Scathing Report Reveals Biden-Harris Admin Has Released Dozens of Migrants on Terror Watchlist Into US
Biden-Harris’ signature border program allowed 3 ISIS terror suspects to enter the US: report:
Three migrants from Tajikistan who were arrested in the US for allegedly having ties to ISIS used the Biden-Harris administration’s CBP One app to get into the country, a new report revealed.
Additionally, at least 99 other suspected terrorists have been released into the US in the last two years after crossing the southern border, according to data the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provided to the House Judiciary Committee.
The Biden administration rolled out the CBP One entry program for asylum seekers in January 2023 in anticipation of the end of the Trump-era expulsion COVID-era order known as Title 42. From that point, migrants could schedule their entry appointments on the app while in Mexico — with the idea that only those using the app would be allowed to claim asylum.
Each day, the administration lets in roughly 1,500 migrants through the CBP One program. In total, the app has allowed more than 680,500 migrants to schedule entry appointments, according to federal data.
The CBP One program boasts that its entrants are “thoroughly screened and vetted, and individuals who pose a national security or public safety concern are detained.” That vetting done through “biographic and biometric” checks, which is also how Border Patrol checks migrants who cross illegally.
Earlier this year, federal agents arrested eight Tajik nationals who had crossed the border and were released into the US after discovering they were suspected of ties to the brutal ISIS terror group. The Post first reported the arrests.
They were scooped up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in June in a multi-state sting that took place in New York, Los Angeles and Philadelphia, sources previously revealed to The Post.
The group underwent vetting when crossing the border, which didn’t turn up any information suggesting their alleged terror times at the time. —>READ MORE HERE
Scathing report reveals Biden-Harris admin has released dozens of migrants on terror watchlist into US:
Nearly 100 illegal immigrants on the terror watch list have been released into the United States during the Biden administration, while Border Patrol agents have encountered migrants on the watch list from dozens of different countries, a new House report is revealing.
“Under the Biden-Harris Administration, of the more than 250 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist who were encountered by Border Patrol at the southwest border between fiscal years 2021 and 2023, DHS has released into American communities at least 99, with at least 34 others in DHS custody but not yet removed from the United States,” the report by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee, a copy of which was first obtained by Fox News Digital, says.
The staff interim report also found that immigration judges granted bond to at least 27 migrants on the watchlist who entered illegally, and that Border Patrol has encountered tens of thousands of migrants from countries that could present national security risks – including 2,134 Afghan nationals, 33,347 Chinese nationals, 541 Iranian nationals, 520 Syrian nationals, and 3,104 Uzbek nationals.
“That does not include the untold numbers of potential terrorists that evaded Border Patrol to enter the United States as part of nearly 2 million ‘gotaways’ since the beginning of the Biden-Harris Administration,” the report says.
The report, citing information provided to committee staff in June, also found that Border Patrol had encountered migrants on the terror watchlist from 36 different countries — including places with active terror presences. Those countries include Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, Tajikistan and Yemen.
The Terrorist Screening Dataset (TSDS) contains sensitive information on terrorist identities. It initially contained only known or suspected terrorists (KSTs) but now also includes additional individuals who represent a “potential threat to the United States, including known affiliates of watchlisted individuals.”
The concern about potential terrorists has grown amid the ongoing crisis at the southern border, where record numbers of migrants have been encountered since the Biden administration took office in 2021. The number of encounters on the watchlist has grown significantly as well, with the committee report finding a more than 3,000% increase of encounters. —>READ MORE HERE
