Former San Diego Sector Border Patrol Chief Aaron Heitke told a House committee that the Biden-Harris administration asked not release information about the amount of suspected terrorists encountered at the border. 

“I was told I could not release any information on this increase in SIAs [Special Interest Aliens] or mention any of the arrests. The administration was trying convince the public there was no threat at the border,” Heike said at a joint hearing before the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence and the Subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement.

Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., chairman of the subcommittee on Border Security and Enforcement, said the Biden-Harris administration has presided over a “self-inflicted border crisis” and the country faces a “threat to the homeland from within the homeland.”

“By ending effective Trump era policies and programs that protected us, the Biden-Harris administration has intentionally left us vulnerable to potential attacks from terrorists and criminals who are freely moving around our communities,” he said.
