According to recent federal stats, more than 300 migrants on the U.S. terror watchlist have been apprehended under the Biden-Harris Administration — and those are just the ones we know about.
Many “gotaways” with terror ties are suspected to be in the country.
Arrests include ISIS suspects and a possible Palestinian explosives expert, damning new federal stats show.
From The New York Post:
Border Patrol sources told The Post that it’s still “incredibly easy” for terrorists to get over the border because vetting procedures rely on US databases that often lack intelligence from other countries about possible terror suspects.
The federal report did not name the terror suspects who have been apprehended, but The Post has identified several from news reports and Homeland Security sources.
In August, Border Patrol agents caught Palestinian national Omar Shehada, 35, at the New Mexico border and found that he was listed on the terror watchlist for using “explosives/arms” for an unnamed terrorist organization, according to a leaked memo.
In July, border agents in San Diego nabbed three Palestinian migrants and another from Turkey and determined they were terror suspects.
While it’s not clear which terror group the foreigners were affiliated with, border agents in the region had received an internal alert months before to watch out for Hezbollah, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists exploiting the open border following the Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel.
Another case involved Lebanese national Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, who border agents caught at the El Paso, Texas, border in March. While he was being screened by medical personnel, Ebbadi confessed he was a Hezbollah member who came to the US “to try to make a bomb.”
