New “DHS Watchlist” exposes federal bureaucrats who compromise U.S. border security

A new watchlist has been released exposing the federal bureaucrats who are working behind the scenes to compromise U.S. border security and support the ongoing influx of migrants.

This carefully researched list, known as The DHS Watchlist: America’s Most Subversive Bureaucrats, includes the names of civil servants who have played an active role in making immigration-related policies that undermine immigration enforcement and are not held accountable. While political appointees might get some scrutiny, it’s also important to recognize that there are plenty of other people involved in the process and making senior-level decisions behind the scenes.

In a press release, the group behind the list, the American Accountability Foundation, stated: “For too long, these bureaucrats have shaped government policy in the shadows, advancing a leftist agenda without facing any real accountability. We are naming names and exposing the truth behind their hidden agendas.”

American Accountability Foundation president Thomas Jones said the idea was to expose all those involved in border-related decisions.

They received the Heritage Foundation’s Innovation Prize contest for their work, which enabled them to look into the matter in-depth and let Americans know about these people and their biases.

According to Jones, there are lots of people associated with left-wing advocacy groups like KIND or the ACLU. Although these individuals may not have the high profile of someone like DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, their influence on border security and immigration policy is considerable.

DHS claims list is harassment, but it’s really an attempt to censor efforts to expose them

DHS has claimed that releasing the list is a form of harassment that could pose safety risks for public servants, but Jones believes this claim is nothing more than an attempt at censorship. The group is simply exercising its First Amendment rights and providing a public service by showing Americans who is behind the policies that affect their everyday lives.

One of the names on the list is U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Deputy Director Jennifer Higgins, who earns a salary of $203,700 in her role.

She has spoken on panels related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), particularly when it comes to women in leadership. She has also been a staunch advocate of diversity quotas, which the group believes is a sign that she is prioritizing wokeness over U.S. national security.

Higgins also made the outrageous claim that “homegrown extremism” and “misinformation, malinformation, disinformation” were primary threats to homeland security.

Another individual singled out by the group is USCIS Associate Director – Service Center Operations Directorate Connie Nolan. Recognized in 2023 with a “meritorious rank award” from President Biden for exceptional service, she helped to set the stage for marriage fraud to obtain visas by setting up a fully virtual screening office. This makes it far easier to commit fraud in a program that is already known for having a significant number of sham applications.

The program drew widespread criticism from experts like Immigration Accountability Project Policy Director Rosemary Jenks, who said: “In a ‘100% virtual’ program, fraud will be rampant, especially marriage fraud. It’s easy to produce fake marriage certificates and other documentary ‘proof’ of long-term residence. It’s a whole lot harder to fake a long-term marriage in person.”

These are just a few of the people at DHS who express open hostility to the concept of securing the border and the idea of mass deportations. There are many others just like them who have an agenda, and Jones said it is important to keep in mind that even if we do manage to get a change of leadership in the White House, these people will not suddenly change their views and shouldn’t be in charge of something that is so important to national security.
