Arizona attorney general Mark Brnovich sounded the alarm on Friday after the Border Patrol arrests of migrants on the terror watch list at the southern border spiked under Biden.
Brnovich told “America Reports” on Friday that these unprecedented numbers are the result of the lack of border security which those people are using to create the crisis and endanger the US national security.
He especially warned about people that are coming from countries like Iran and Pakistan that were initially apprehended but were released before agents could interrogate them or question them, so they don’t know anything about them.
Amid the massive migrant wave that has hit the border, the number of migrants on the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) that the Border Patrol has arrested at the southern border in the Fiscal Year 2022 is skyrocketing 50 so far compared to 15 in FY21, three in FY20 and zero in FY19.
Having in mind that there were six in FY18 and two in FY17, the number of arrested migrants on the terror watch list this year is already higher than the previous five years combined.
After the Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee flooded the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with requests that the Congress and the public get the number of encountered migrants recorded on the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB), the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) started posting the numbers online last month.
Those same numbers were labeled as “law enforcement sensitive” shortly after President Biden took office and the CBP has, as result, stopped publicly posting updates on TSDB encounters at the border.
The total number of encounters at the northern and southern borders, according to the CBP’s Office of Field Operations, so far is 192 (142 encounters at the northern border and 50 at the southern border) compared to 157 in FY21.
