INVADER NEWS: Biden-Harris Border Official Claims Cover-Up as He was Allegedly Ordered to Hide Release of Migrants; Ex-Border Patrol Chief Rips Biden Admin for Allegedly Suppressing Info On Migrants with Potential Terror Ties

Biden-Harris border official claims cover-up as he was allegedly ordered to hide release of migrants:

The former Border Patrol official responsible for securing nearly 1,000 miles of America’s frontier has charged that the Biden-Harris administration intentionally covered up the ongoing migrant crisis.

Ex-San Diego Sector Chief Agent Aaron Heitke told members of the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday that the White House repeatedly tried to “quiet the border-wide crisis” by shielding information from the press and concealing crossings by dangerous migrants with terror ties.

“I had to release illegal aliens by the hundreds each day into communities who could not support them,” testified Heitke, who retired in summer 2023 and appeared voluntarily before the panel.

“To quiet the problem, two flights a week were provided from San Diego to Texas,” he explained. “These flights simply brought aliens that would have been released in San Diego over to Texas.”

“Each flight costs approximately $150,000. This was the administration’s way of trying to quiet the border-wide crisis,” Heitke emphasized.

Elsewhere in his testimony, Heitke said administration officials asked him to move more than 2,000 migrants apprehended in between the two US-Mexico border fences spanning Southern California “out of the sight of the media.”

The chief agent also was barred from discussing the alarming spike in border crossings by so-called “Special Interest Aliens,” or SIAs, who were suspected of posing national security concerns based on their country of origin or ties to terror groups. —>READ MORE HERE

Ex-Border Patrol chief rips Biden admin for allegedly suppressing info on migrants with potential terror ties:

A former Border Patrol sector chief told lawmakers that he was blocked from informing the public about migrants who may be potential terror threats, as he says the Biden administration wanted to downplay the threat.

“In San Diego, we had an exponential increase in Significant Interest Aliens [SIAs]. These are aliens with significant ties to terrorism,” former San Diego Sector Chief Patrol official Aaron Heitke told lawmakers on the House Homeland Security Committee.

“Prior to this administration, the San Diego sector averaged 10-15 SIAs per year. Once word was out that the border was far easier to cross, San Diego went to over 100 SIAs in 2022, way over 100 SIAs in 2023 and more than that this year,” he warned. “These are only the ones we caught.”

Heitke says he was told he couldn’t release information about that increase.

“At the time, I was told I could not release any information on this increase in SIAs or mention any of the arrests. The administration was trying to convince the public that there was no threat at the border,” he said.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment on Heitke’s remarks.

The remarks came as part of a House Homeland Security Committee hearing called “A Country Without Borders: How Biden-Harris’ Open-Borders Policies Have Undermined Our Safety and Security.” —>READ MORE HERE
