The majority of KSTs are historically apprehended at the northern border, The Center Square first reported. In fiscal 2023, 736 KSTs were apprehended, the greatest number recorded in U.S. history. The majority, 487, were apprehended at the northern border compared to 249 at the southwest border.

Biden-Harris administration policies are resulting in Border Patrol agents releasing known or suspected terrorists (KSTs) into the U.S., a new congressional report states.

“The open-borders policies of President Joe Biden and border czar Vice President Kamala Harris have allowed millions of illegal aliens to enter the United States, including terrorist organizations and other bad actors looking to harm Americans,” creating a national security threat, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee and its Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement said in a new interim report released Monday.

It points to 99 KSTs released into the U.S. during a two-year period evaluated. It also cites original reporting by The Center Square on terrorism data and warnings given by national security experts about imminent terrorist threats stemming from the border crisis.

The report only appears to focus on KSTs apprehended between ports of entry at the southwest border, excluding the threat posed by the overwhelming majority apprehended at the northern border. Congressional reports continue to appear to only cite one KST data set, instead of four U.S. Customs and Border Protection reports: at and between ports of entry at both borders.

The majority of KSTs are historically apprehended at the northern border, The Center Square first reported. In fiscal 2023, 736 KSTs were apprehended, the greatest number recorded in U.S. history. The majority, 487, were apprehended at the northern border compared to 249 at the southwest border.

The trend continues in fiscal 2024, with 234 KSTs apprehended at the northern border and 125 at the southwest border, according to CBP data last updated July 15.

The total number of KSTs apprehended under the Biden administration is over 1,700, with the greatest number coming through the northern border, The Center Square first reported.

The greatest number of illegal border crossers have entered the U.S. while Biden’s been in office of over 12 million, including two million who evaded capture, known as gotaways, The Center Square first reported. Law enforcement officials estimate the gotaway number is underreported by between 10% and 20% and say they have no idea how many, who or where they are.

“Of the more than 250 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist who were encountered by Border Patrol at the southwest border between fiscal years 2021 and 2023, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released nearly 100 of them, with at least 34 others in DHS custody but not yet removed from the United States,” the report states, without clarifying the data solely refers to apprehensions at the southwest border between ports of entry.

The report notes that between fiscal years 2021 and 2023, Border Patrol agents apprehended “aliens on the terrorist watchlist from 36 different countries, including places with an active terrorist presence such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Kyrgyzstan, Mauritania, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, and Yemen,” solely referring to one data set.

“So far during fiscal year 2024, Border Patrol has encountered tens of thousands of illegal aliens nationwide from countries that could present national security risks, including 2,134 Afghan nationals, 33,347 Chinese nationals, 541 Iranian nationals, 520 Syrian nationals, and 3,104 Uzbek nationals,” the report states.

It refers to U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement officials arresting eight Tajik nationals with potential ISIS ties in June after Border Patrol agents released them into the country. If federal law were followed, they would have been processed for removal instead of being released into the country, former Border Patrol, ICE and CBP officials have told The Center Square.

The Biden-Harris administration released into the U.S. “at least three illegal aliens with potential ISIS ties after the aliens used the Administration’s CBP One app to arrive at a port of entry and be processed into the country,” the report notes, although a different report shows several hundred with ISIS ties were released into the U.S., The Center Square reported.

At a House Judiciary hearing last year, as well as other congressional hearings and in news interviews, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has repeatedly claimed “illegal aliens are adequately screened and ‘individuals who pose a threat to national security or public safety are detained,’” the report states. Several DHS Office of Inspector General reports have refuted his claim, providing evidence to the contrary, including foreign nationals not being vetted at airports.

The report also highlights problems in federal immigration courts, pointing to judges who “granted asylum, bond, and other immigration relief to potential terrorists.” The court problem has been compounded by hundreds of thousands of deportation cases being dismissed because DHS failed to file proper paperwork, The Center Square reported.

Elections Canada agency unable to refute allegations of Chinese operatives posing as poll workers in 2021

Elections Canada admitted that no background checks were conducted on volunteers, adding that it could not say for sure whether agents of the Chinese Communist Party infiltrated polls in the Aurora-Oak Ridges riding.

After a former MP revealed that agents of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) allegedly worked at the polls during the 2021 federal election, Elections Canada admitted it could not refute the statement made by the former elected official.

As reported by LifeSiteNews earlier this week, documents from a federal inquiry looking at meddling in Canada’s past two elections by foreign state actors show that agents of the CCP allegedly worked at Elections Canada polling centers in the 2021 campaign.

The documents show that former Conservative MP Leona Alleslev noted in a sworn affidavit that she was told by Chinese Canadians they knew foreign operatives were working at polling stations. She also noted that she had received many complaints from Chinese Canadians that they were too scared to vote.

As recently noted by Blacklock’s Reporter, Elections Canada said in a statement that “It would be impossible for us to make any kind of determination with certainty” about Alleslev’s claims. However, it noted that “we should note that there are safeguards present at every stage of the electoral process. Transparency is one of the key pillars of electoral democracy.”

“All poll workers sign a solemn declaration that they will be non-partisan while working at an election and protect the secrecy of the vote,” said Elections Canada, adding that it was their “job” to make it possible for “electors to vote in an orderly fashion.”

Elections Canada went on to admit that no background checks were conducted on volunteers, adding that it could not say for sure whether agents of the CCP infiltrated polls in the Aurora-Oak Ridges riding.

Alleslev lost the election and her seat to Liberal MP Leah Taylor Roy by 1,460 votes. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals won the 2021 election by a narrow margin.

According to Alleslev’s affidavit, about “half the Chinese Canadian constituents she canvassed would tell Ms. Alleslev they were afraid to vote for her because they feared repercussions against themselves or their family members both in Canada and in China.”

“Some claimed they took the threat seriously because there were agents of the Chinese Communist Party working in the local Elections Canada office and in the polling stations or monitoring outside of the significantly reduced number of polling stations to watch who voted,” it read.

The commission is headed by Justice Marie-Josée Hogue, who had earlier said she and her lawyers will remain “impartial” and will not be influenced by politics. In January, Hogue said that she would “uncover the truth whatever it may be.”

As for Trudeau, he has praised China for its “basic dictatorship” and has labeled the authoritarian nation his favorite country other than his own.

RFK Jr. tells Tucker he would serve as Trump’s CIA director if asked

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said it’s unlikely that he would receive Senate confirmation because committee members are ‘just safeguarding that (CIA) directorship and I would be very, very dangerous for those committees.’

Former presidential candidate turned Donald Trump supporter Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Tucker Carlson this week that he would definitely serve as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

“If you were asked, would you run it?” Carlson asked.

“Yes, I would,” Kennedy replied. “But I would never get Senate confirmation.”

 

Kennedy made major news last week when just one day after the Democratic National Convention he endorsed the former president in his bid for the Oval Office.

Kennedy was given a hero’s welcome by Trump at a rally in Arizona, during which he spoke about the need to end childhood illnesses and the “chronic disease epidemic” in America.

 

Kennedy’s interview with Carlson indicates he has a sober grasp of the power the Deep State has over U.S. politics.

“As you know, the intelligence (agencies) are protected by very, very powerful committees in the Senate and the House,” Kennedy remarked. “And the people who serve on those committees … they’re just safeguarding that (CIA) directorship and I would be very, very dangerous for those committees.”

The pair additionally spoke about other areas of agreement between Kennedy and President Trump as well, in particular Trump’s promise to establish a commission to declassify the remaining documents pertaining to President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963.

“I think everyone at this point knows the truth, which is the CIA is implicated in that. Those documents protect (the) CIA, maybe among others,” Carlson said.

“It’s odd that they’ve not allowed them to be released,” Kennedy replied. “It clearly is to protect the institution … and that’s wrong.”

Both Kennedy and Carlson noted that it was Mike Pompeo, a neocon who served as Trump’s CIA director in 2017-2018 who pressured Trump to not declassify those documents while he was in office for his first term.

While a formal role in Trump’s second administration has not been announced, Kennedy revealed that he is working on policy issues with the campaign at the moment and that if Trump wins he will be helping with the transition team to select persons who will run the government.

During an appearance on the Shawn Ryan Show podcast this week, Trump admitted that when he first won in 2016, he didn’t really know who to hire and that this time around he would select different people to fill key positions.

“I was a New York person, not a Washington, D.C. person,” he said. “In retrospect, I also picked some people I wouldn’t have picked. Now I know the smart ones, the dumb ones, the weak ones, the solid ones.”

Kennedy also said that he believes a historic political realignment is taking place as the Democratic Party has become the party of war and censorship ushering in a “corrupt” merger between state and corporate power.

On Monday, former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard followed in Kennedy’s footsteps and endorsed Trump at a rally for the National Guard Association in Detroit. Gabbard’s defection is significant in that she was a rising star on the political left not long ago, having served as vice chair of the Democratic National Party from 2013 until 2016. She resigned from that position in disgust after the presidential primary was rigged to ensure Hillary Clinton and not Bernie Sanders would be the nominee.
