But oh no! We can't remove this boob from office. He has been impeached and Schumer is attempting to protect Mayorkas from being tried in the Senate.
IOW, Democrats are just fine with all this and the release of people on the terrorist watch list. And some of you are going to vote for more of this. What is wrong with you?
A group of Homeland Security Republicans expressed serious concern in an April 3 letter to Mr. Mayorkas about unanswered questions regarding DHS’s current practices in processing and releasing known or suspected terrorists into the United States.
“We are now facing a consistent stream of cases highlighted in the news of aliens allegedly on the terrorists watchlist either being apprehended at the border or discovered in the interior,” they wrote.
Their concern comes as U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data show that there’s been a whopping 3,000-plus percent increase (comparing former President Donald Trump’s term and that of President Joe Biden’s so far) in the number of people on the FBI’s terror watchlist caught trying to enter the country illegally.
The lawmakers—including House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn.) and Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence Chairman August Pfluger (R-Texas)—expressed particular concern about the number of terrorist gotaways.
The number of terrorist gotaways could be alarmingly high if it tracks with the 3,000-plus percent rise in the number of apprehended illegal immigrants on the terror watchlist between the Trump and Biden presidencies.
The GOP lawmakers complained in their letter to Mr. Mayorkas that their prior multiple requests for information from DHS regarding terrorist illegal immigrants have gone unanswered.
They noted a number of recent cases of people on the terror watchlist being released into the United States—with one “particularly concerning” case involving a man recently arrested in North Carolina following a four-hour standoff with police. The individual, Awet Hagos, was later found to have been on the terror watchlist—and that he had been residing in the area for six months.
Another case involved a known Somalian member of the al-Shabaab terror group, who was allowed to roam free in the United States for almost a year due to a terror watchlist screening “mismatch.” A subsequent screening “redetermination” confirmed the individual as a “terrorist member of al-Shabaab,” leading to his eventual arrest by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in January 2024, per the lawmakers.
A third case involved Basel Bassel Ebbadi, who the lawmakers said admitted in a sworn interview that he was an active member of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group—and that he reportedly said he was in the United States trying to make a bomb. He was arrested near El Paso, Texas, on March 9, after crossing the border illegally.
