The Biden-Harris Administration has released at least 99 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist into the U.S., according to a report released by House Judiciary Committee Republicans on Monday.
The report documents and details how the threat to Americans has grown during the three-and-a-half years of the Biden-Harris Administration’s open border policies.
“The crisis at the southwest border caused by the Biden-Harris Administration has raised serious national security risks, with the number of potential terrorists encountered at the southwest border skyrocketing since January 2021,” the report warns, quantifying the surging number of aliens on the terrorist watchlist encountered at the southwest border:
“During fiscal year 2022, U.S. Border Patrol encountered 98 aliens on the terrorist watchlist along the southwest border. That is 83 more aliens on the terrorist watchlist than those encountered during fiscal year 2021 and is nearly nine times the number encountered during fiscal years 2017 through 2020 combined.
“Under the Biden-Harris Administration, Border Patrol agents have encountered at least 375 total illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist along the southwest border, a more than 3,000 percent increase of such watchlisted alien encounters compared to all four years under the Trump Administration.”
According to the study’s analysis of fiscal years 2021-23:
The Biden-Harris Administration has released at least 99 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist into American communities.
More than 250 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist were encountered by Border Patrol at the southwest border.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released nearly 100 of the 250 illegal aliens on the watchlist.
Another 34 of the 250 have not been removed from the U.S., but remain in DHS custody.
Border Patrol at the southwest border encountered aliens on the terrorist watchlist from 36 different countries, including nations with an active terrorist presence, such as Afghanistan abd Iraq,
At least three illegal aliens with potential ISIS ties were released into the U.S. after they used the Biden-Harris Administration’s CBP One app to arrive at a port of entry and be processed into the country.
Failures by immigration courts regarding illegal aliens encountered at the southwest border during the Biden-Harris Administration are also contributing to the problem, the report finds. In particular, immigration judges:
Granted bond to at least 27 aliens on the terrorist watchlist.
Granted asylum to at least four others.
Terminated the cases of at least two known or suspected terrorists.
One reason immigration court judges are unleashing potentially dangerous aliens is their lack of access to classified information that could indicate that an individual subject to immigration proceedings may present a threat to national security or public safety, the report says.
