Republicans blast Biden administration's snub of request for info on terror watchlist nationals

Republicans are reacting with outrage to the Biden administration's refusal to reveal information about details of those on the terror watchlist encountered at the southern border after officials cited privacy interests for turning down a Fox request on the matter.

"What is Joe Biden, this administration and the Democrats, what are they hiding?" Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, wondered on the "Verdict with Ted Cruz" podcast.

"They have not released what countries they came from. I assume, based on their refusal to do so, that the country list is really damning."

Fox News filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in October seeking the nationalities of suspects on the FBI terror watchlist arrested at the southern border entering between ports of entry by Border Patrol.
