A recent report from the House Judiciary Committee, titled “TERROR AT OUR DOOR: HOW THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION’S OPEN-BORDERS POLICIES UNDERMINE NATIONAL SECURITY AND ENDANGER AMERICANS,” has revealed alarming details about national security lapses at the southern border during Vice President Kamala Harris’s tenure as border czar. The report highlights that from fiscal years 2021-2023, 250 illegal aliens on the terror watch list were encountered at the southern border, with at least 99 of them being released into the country.
The report sheds light on the case of eight Tajik nationals with potential ISIS ties, three of whom were released after using the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) One app to schedule appointments at ports of entry. The incident underscores the dangers posed by inadequate vetting processes and the misuse of the CBP One app by potential terrorists.
In a press statement, Jake Schneider, the Rapid Response Director for the RNC, called the release of these suspected terrorists “UNFORGIVABLE” and labeled it as “criminal negligence.” The report also highlights how an immigration judge granted bond to a potential terrorist due to a lack of classified information, pointing to systemic issues within the immigration court system.
The Trump-Vance campaign and the RNC have been vocal in criticizing Harris’s handling of the border crisis, emphasizing the national security risks posed by the administration’s policies. They argue that the Biden-Harris administration’s failures have endangered American lives and undermined national security.
