What could possibly go wrong? After all, the feds have to devote all of their resources to catching “insurrectionists.”

“Man on terror watchlist was released by Border Patrol,” by Julia Ainsley, Didi Martinez and Laura Strickler, NBC News, April 11, 2024:

SAN ANTONIO — An Afghan migrant on a terrorist watchlist spent nearly a year inside the U.S. after he was apprehended and released by Border Patrol agents last year, U.S. officials told NBC News. The man was arrested in February and then released again last month again by an immigration judge who was not told he was a national security threat.

Mohammad Kharwin, 48, was freed on bond as he awaited an immigration hearing in Texas scheduled for 2025, U.S. officials said. There were no restrictions on his movements inside the U.S.

(After this article was published, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said Kharwin was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents late Thursday evening. A source familiar with the matter said that, “based on the information currently available, there is no reason to believe this individual entered the country as part of a terrorist mission.”)

Kharwin was initially apprehended on March 10, 2023, near San Ysidro, California, after having crossed the Mexico-U.S. border illegally.

Border agents suspected he was on a U.S. terrorist watchlist when he was apprehended because one piece of information matched a person on the list. But the agents lacked corroborating information, which officials declined to describe, that would confirm Kharwin was the person they suspected, U.S. officials said.

After it processed Kharwin and took his biometric data, Customs and Border Protection released him as it would any other migrant, without alerting Immigration and Customs Enforcement about possible terrorism ties, U.S. officials said.

Kharwin was referred to ICE’s Alternatives to Detention Program, requiring him to check in periodically by phone with an ICE officer. He was able to apply for asylum and work authorization and fly domestically in the U.S., the officials said.

Kharwin is on the national terrorist watchlist maintained by the FBI, which includes the names of 1.8 million people considered potential security risks. The database indicates he is a member of Hezb-e-Islami, or HIG, a political and paramilitary organization that the U.S. has designated a terrorist organization.

According to the national intelligence director’s office, HIG is a “virulently anti-Western insurgent group” that sought to overturn the Western-backed Afghan government before its fall in 2021. HIG was responsible for attacks in Afghanistan that killed at least nine American soldiers and civilians from 2013 to 2015. The group is not seen as a top threat in terms of attacks inside the U.S….

The case illustrates the challenges U.S. officials face in identifying migrants who may pose national security threats. Kharwin’s case is the third incident in two years in which Customs and Border Protection has released migrants with suspected terrorist ties.  A migrant with ties to the Somali terror group al-Shabaab was arrested this year in Minnesota after having lived in the U.S. for nearly a year, the Daily Caller reported….

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) told the press that a 22-year-old Lebanese immigrant who was detained on March 9th for entering the country illegally near El Paso, Texas, claimed to be a former member of Hezbollah who was traveling to New York and intended “to make a bomb.”

However, other reports have stated that he is a current member of Hezbollah.

According to the New York Post, Basell Ebbadi informed federal officials that he had been trained for seven years by the Iran-backed terrorist group and had worked for four more years as an armed guard at weapons facilities.

Ebbadi admitted to the agents that he intended “to make a bomb” after entering the United States. Before attempting to enter the country, the Lebanese man explained that he had a fake identification card with a false identity and birthday.

Ebbadi was also acting quite confidently, according to a CBP source, who labeled him as “bloviating and acting with machismo.”

He is now marked for deportation.

This occurs at a time when, according to federal officials, migrant interactions with the U.S. Border Patrol in the El Paso Sector have continued to increase over the last few weeks. In the last two weeks, border officials in the area have encountered at least 1,100 migrants on an average day. It is a combination of groups of undocumented foreign nationals attempting to avoid arrest and conviction in their own countries as well as asylum-seekers attempting to surrender at the border wall in order to live a better life.

Hezbollah is known as one of the world’s most dangerous terrorist groups. Its aim is to completely annihilate Israel, similar to that of Hamas. Arab media sources have even reported that the terrorist group applauded Hamas’s October 7th terrorist operation inside Israel.

According to Reuters, the terror group stated that it was in direct contact with the leadership of the Palestinian resistance throughout the strike against Israel on October 7th.

The U.S. Border Patrol has detected at least 59 individuals who are on terror watchlists attempting to pass between ports of entry since October, continuing a notable trend that began after Joe Biden was elected in 2021. According to official data, less than ten individuals on the list were encountered annually during the fiscal years 2017 and 2020.

Ebbadi is now being imprisoned at the El Paso Sector Hardened Facility.

ISIS threat at border demonstrates the dangers of open-door immigration policies

Jihad Watch has been warning about the dangers of unvetted, open-door immigration for years. The contrast between responsible immigration based on a two-way street should have been obvious, but globalists and bleeding heart leftists had no foresight, or simply didn’t care. American borders are now open to literally anyone. FBI director Christopher Wray warns about the obvious: a “’wide array of dangerous threats coming from the U.S. border, including drug trafficking, violent gangs and smugglers with ties to ISIS.” Add in Iranian proxies.

What else could possibly be expected with open doors?

More on this story. “FBI director warns of ‘very dangerous threats’ at border, smuggling network with ‘ISIS ties,’” by Adam Shaw, Fox News, March 11, 2024:

FBI Director Christopher Wray on Monday warned of a “wide array” of dangerous threats coming from the U.S. border, including drug trafficking, violent gangs and smugglers with ties to ISIS.

Wray was asked by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., at a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing about the threats at the border, including the Tren de Aragua gang from Venezuela. Wray said he couldn’t speak to a specific gang, but said there were dangerous individuals entering via the southern border.

“From an FBI perspective, we are seeing a wide array of very dangerous threats that emanate from the border. And that includes everything from drug trafficking — the FBI alone seized enough fentanyl in the last two years to kill 270 million people — that’s just on the fentanyl side,” he said……

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert introduced the Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act, which will codify President Trump’s border policies that have a proven track record of securing the southern border and bringing illegal immigration down to record lows.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-03) said, “On day one, the Biden Regime implemented their open-border policies that have destroyed countless American families and made our communities less safe." My Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act will codify President Trump’s proven border policies that reduced illegal immigration to record lows. The Biden Regime’s intentional negligence has handed operational control of our borders to the cartels, resulting in an unprecedented surge in the trafficking of women and children as well as deadly fentanyl. We must close the border and end the invasion. The best way to do that is to build the wall and deport them all.”

“With open arms, Joe Biden has welcomed millions of illegal aliens into our country since taking office, including terrorists and violent criminals. Lives are being destroyed, families are devastated and communities across our nation are being crushed. These lawbreakers should be deported and the border sealed. "Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act does just that,” stated Congressman Paul Gosar (AZ-09)

Rep. Byron Donalds (FL-19) said, “The situation at our border is untenable and it worsens by the day as we continue to reach new record highs in nearly every tracked statistic." Problems necessitate action and it is time for the implementation of an evidence-based solution backed by years of successful data from the Trump administration. I stand with Rep. Boebert to ensure the safety and security of the American people.”

“Our border was more secure than ever under President Trump, and it is more vulnerable than ever under President Biden,” stated Congressman Barry Moore (AL-02). “If we do not return to Trump’s successful policies, we may not have a country anymore. This legislation puts American families first by finishing Trump’s wall, restoring his ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy, and expediting the removal of illegals from our country.”

Rep. Mary Miller (IL-15) said, “On his first day in office, Biden signed Executive Order 13993, overturning every border security measure established during the Trump administration, paving the way for 10 million foreign nationals to enter our country illegally." Our primary responsibility as a government is to keep Americans safe. Instead, Biden opened our borders to an invasion of military-aged men and put innocent American lives in danger. I’m proud to stand with Congresswoman Boebert to codify Trump administration policies that would help secure our southern border.”

“On day one, Joe Biden used the power of the pen to undo the immigration policies of President Trump,” stated Congressman Jeff Duncan (SC-03). “I’m proud to stand with Rep. Boebert to codify President Trump’s border policies and fight back against the Biden Border Crisis invasion.”

Rep. Andy Biggs (AZ-05) said, “President Biden’s anti-American, open borders agenda must be reversed. President Trump’s immigration policies secured our borders and instilled law and order. I commend Congresswoman Boebert for introducing legislation that codifies Trump-era policies amid the worst border crisis in American history.”

 Deport Them All Act, Background:

In response to the worst border crisis in American history, Congresswoman Boebert introduced the Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act.

Since Joe Biden has been in office, over 9 million illegal aliens have crossed the southern border, and more than 6.2 million illegals have been caught and released into the interior of the United States and the Biden administration admitted that 40% have disappeared. Worse yet, a record-breaking influx of deadly fentanyl is coursing through our borders, claiming American lives daily. The sheer volume of fentanyl could kill every American 28 times over and has already killed hundreds of thousands of Americans.

The Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act will codify several policies from the Trump administration, including:

  • Ending “Catch and Release”
  • Building the Wall
  • Prohibiting funds for Sanctuary Cities
  • Restoring the “Remain in Mexico” policy
  • Expediting the removal of illegal aliens

The bill also:

  • Prohibits the removal of state border barriers
  • Ends birthright citizenship

Cosponsors of Congresswoman Boebert’s Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act include: Rep. Jim Banks (IN-04), Rep. Andy Biggs (AZ-05), Rep. Byron Donalds (FL-19), Rep. Jeff Duncan (SC-03), Rep. Bob Good (VA-05), Rep. Paul Gosar (AZ-09), Rep. Andy Harris (MD-01), Rep. Mary Miller (IL-15), Rep. Barry Moore (AL-02), and Rep. Andy Ogles (TN-05).

Dr. Phil Tells ‘The View’ That Children Crossing Border Illegally Are Becoming Prostitutes, Sweatshop Workers

SEE: https://www.oann.com/newsroom/dr-phil-tells-the-view-that-children-crossing-border-illegally-are-becoming-prostitutes-sweatshop-workers/; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

In a Monday interview with “The View,” famous talk show host Phil McGraw, who is widely known as Dr. Phil, stated that many minors crossing the border illegally were being transported to “prostitution and sweatshops,” citing an exchange he had with the union representing border patrol officers who purportedly told him the information.

Dr. Phil spoke on political topics ranging from the present border situation to the negative impacts of school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. He managed to raise eyebrows while discussing these issues.

The talk show host was questioned by Sunny Hostin, one co-host of “The View,” about his recent trip to the Southern border and what he had learned.

“I talked to the head of all the border guards down there, the head of the union. I ask him straight-up, kids are coming over the border with numbers written on them, phone numbers, and addresses. Do we check those out? He said, well, we call them.”

“Is it possible that we’re sending them into known prostitution rings or sweatshops? He said, ‘It’s not possible; it is absolute.’ We are using American tax dollars to ship children into known prostitution and sweatshops,” Dr. Phil said, recounting a conversation he had with a border patrol agent.

The Human Trafficking Institute claims that immigrants make up around 72% of the victims of human trafficking in the United States.

When co-host Ana Navarro questioned him about the type of checks they make at the border, Dr. Phil said that they make phone calls to find out how the individuals know the children.

“They call the number and say…Do you know about this child? They say, yes. Will you receive them when they come? Yes. I said is it possible that’s a prostitution ring? He said, we know enough to know that it—in a number of cases, it has turned out to be absolute sex ring. It has turned out to be an absolute sweatshop. I said, how is this possible?” he said.  

Hostin then inquired as to the location of the U.S. attorney’s office and whether they were aware of the situation at the border.

“You mentioned that there are children crossing the border with numbers and names. Many of them are—those names belong to their family members, but you’re saying—and that’s true, but some of them are sex trafficked. Some of them are sweatshop-trafficked. Why do you think the federal government is not involved? Why isn’t the US attorney involved? Is it a resource issue?” she asked. “Have they reached out to the Biden administration about it?”

Dr. Phil explained that it was a matter of resources and that it was “difficult to determine” if they contacted the Biden administration during these instances.

“They say that they’re so overwhelmed with processing that that’s all they can do. They’ve become social workers and processors, and not investigators and border guards, because they’re just processing, processing, processing,” he said in response.

Early in February, Dr. Phil posted a video to social media in which he discussed his thoughts on his visit to the border.

The notable talk host referenced Texas GOP Governor Greg Abbott’s assertion that President Joe Biden was not enforcing protection laws and that he had “enticed” thousands of migrants to illegally evade points of entry into the U.S. in a video uploaded to X (Twitter).

“Texas law enforcement has seized over 454 million lethal doses of fentanyl during this mission. Governor Abbott has said that the federal government has broken the pact between the United States federal government and the states,” McGraw said. “Governor Abbott says President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them.”

“The result is a humanitarian crisis, unlike anything we’ve seen before, smashing records for illegal immigration by wasting taxpayer dollars to tear open Texas border security infrastructure,” he added. “Governor Abbott says President Biden has enticed tens of thousands of illegal immigrants away from 28 legal entry points along the Texas border and into the dangerous, deadly waters of the Rio Grande.”

In another topic on the program, he questioned the closure of schools in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and pointed out that school-aged adolescents were experiencing the “highest levels of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and suicidality” since the introduction of social media ten years prior and especially after they were not allowed to attend in-person classes anymore.

“The same agencies that knew that are the agencies that shut down the schools for two years,” he said. “Who does that? Who takes away the support system for these children? Who takes it away and shuts it down?”
