Beyond Flawed System: This Error We Have All Made Was All It Took For A Migrant On The Terror Watchlist To Be Released In To The U.S.

The report cites "ineffective practices" and "multiple mistakes" as the cause of this oversight.

According to the redacted report, CBP failed to provide all necessary information to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Terrorist Screening Center, which would have been able to verify whether the individual was on the terror watchlist.

The migrant and their family were initially apprehended by Border Patrol agents in Yuma, Arizona on April 17, 2022. After running the migrant's information through the Terrorist Watchlist, agents received an inconclusive match and were asked to coordinate an interview for further information.

However, due to an error in sending the interview request to the wrong email address, the migrant was not interviewed.

Shockingly, just two days after the migrant's apprehension, CBP released the individual into the United States. The report states that this occurred due to CBP's ineffective practices and processes for resolving inconclusive matches with the Terrorist Watchlist.

CBP failed to send the interview request to the correct email address, neglected to share requested information with the Terrorist Screening Center, and released the migrant before fully coordinating with the center.

Agents in Yuma admitted that they did not have an adequate method to flag individuals with inconclusive Terrorist Watchlist matches, which ultimately allowed the migrant to enter the country.

Furthermore, officials reported that the Yuma processing center was overwhelmed with an increase in apprehensions, leading to pressure to quickly process migrants and limited time to review each file.

After being released in the United States, the migrant and their family attempted to board a flight to Tampa, Florida at the Palm Springs International Airport. However, during pre-flight screening, it was discovered that the individual was on the terror watchlist.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was immediately notified, and agents began their efforts to locate and arrest the migrant.

However, the report revealed that ICE also faced challenges in sharing information within the agency, resulting in a delay of over two weeks before the migrant was located and apprehended.

The DHS OIG's report concluded that if CBP's ineffective practices for resolving inconclusive Terrorist Watchlist matches persist, there is a risk of releasing individuals into the United States who potentially pose a threat to national security and public safety.

In response to the report, a DHS spokesperson defended CBP and ICE, stating that the OIG report sensationalizes and mischaracterizes a complex case.

The spokesperson emphasized that noncitizens encountered by CBP undergo thorough screening and vetting, and any individual deemed a threat to national security or public safety is detained.

The Department of Homeland Security remains committed to protecting the American people and securing the borders, continuously working to improve information sharing and fulfill its vital mission.
