Texas DPS Lt. Chris Olivarez speaks from Brownsville after President Biden and former President Trump's visits to the border.

Imagine living next door to an individual on the FBI’s terror watch list. This is a terrifying thought that has become a dangerous reality – maybe more often than anyone could fathom – under the administration of President Joseph R. Biden.

Over the past few months, we have seemingly observed a new wrinkle in the deluge of suspected terrorists actually being caught at the border. We know about the suspected terrorists who were identified and arrested between ports of entry (169 at the southern border in FY23, and 58 so far in FY24) – not to speak of the hundreds of thousands of ‘gotaways’ whose identities are not known.

What many people may not comprehend, though, is that there are other suspected terrorists (or some who were affiliated with terrorists) who were caught, but released because of inaccurate or incomplete information during their processing.
