A new Republican-led congressional report has shockingly revealed that under the Biden-Harris administration, “at least 99” illegal aliens were released into the U.S. who were on the terrorist watch list.
The House Homeland Security Committee subpoenaed the Department of Homeland Security after reports surfaced of migrants on the terrorist watch list being released into the country.
After these reports became more apparent and even went viral, Committee Chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.) wanted to investigate further.
“We know individuals on the terror watchlist are apprehended. We have some that get released in the country. We want to know the details of how they’re handling that,” said Green.
“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 other in DHS custody but not yet removed from the United States,” the House Republican report states.
The report also revealed that immigration judges granted bond to at least 27 people on the FBI’s terrorist watch list who illegally entered the U.S.
Additionally, in the report, it was revealed that Border Patrol encountered tens of thousands of migrants from countries that could present national security risks, like Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, and Syria.
“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 Bien-Harris Administration,” the report stated.
Record numbers of migrants illegally crossing through the southern border have incentivized terrorist organizations to attempt to gain access, as the DHS identified over 400 individuals smuggled into the U.S. by an ISIS-affiliated smuggling network in recent months.
“With national security experts and immigration officials increasingly concerned about the threat of terrorism originating from the border, it is clear that policymakers must take all necessary steps to secure the border and stop the flow of illegal aliens. However, the Biden-Harris Administration has refused to address the national security nightmare created by its radical, open-borders agenda,” the report stated.
