Dozens of Migrants on Terrorist Watchlist Released Into US: House GOP

U.S. Border Patrol encountered over 250 migrants who were on the terrorist watchlist over a two-year stretch, with at least 99 of them released into the country, according to a Congressional report released Monday.

The claims have been made by the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee in a new report, which blames the Biden administration for allowing suspected terrorists from three dozen countries into the U.S.

"While national security officials alert Americans about potential terrorist threats, Biden-Harris Administration officials continue to downplay the national security nightmare created by the border crisis," the Judiciary Committee report said.

Nationals known to be on the terrorist watchlist came from 36 countries, including Afghanistan, Lebanon and Syria, the committee said.
