U.S. Border Patrol encountered over 250 migrants who were on the terrorist watchlist over a two-year stretch, with at least 99 of them released into the country, according to a Congressional report released Monday.
The claims have been made by the Republican-led House Judiciary Committeein a new report, which blames the Biden administration for allowing suspected terrorists from three dozen countries into the U.S.
"While national security officials alert Americans about potential terrorist threats, Biden-Harris Administration officials continue to downplay the national security nightmare created by the border crisis," the Judiciary Committee report said.
Nationals known to be on the terrorist watchlist came from 36 countries, including Afghanistan, Lebanon and Syria, the committee said.
Some of those encountered by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) were able to make appointments at ports of entry using the CBP One app, despite claims by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas that the app can screen for potential threats.
During fiscal years 2021 through 2023 — which covers the period from October 2020 to September of last year, most of which fell under the Biden administration — immigration judges granted bond to at least 27 people on the watchlist and granted asylum to four of them, according to the committee.
