Claudia Tenney, a member of the American House of Representatives, recently claimed that the people were “released freedom” in the United States. The request came as part of its argument against New York’s Law of States that provide Driving License License New Yorks regardless of their immigration status.
“New York is one of the worst,” said the Republic Representative on Lisa. “We had almost 99 people I mean, or 100 people, on the terrorist list just let go of the freedom. These are the ones we know.”
Tenney, whose congress district includes more than dozens of counties along the Ontario Lake Coast, which shares the borders with Canada, also claimed that people who can get licenses on the list.
We will focus on its claim that 99 or 100 immigrants that appear on the “terrorist list” release freedom “.
What shows US CBP data?
American Customs and Border Protection (CBP) police officers encounter the boundaries that have “terrorism-related bounds”, including those from government terrorist screening data. This list contains names of people who are known to have to do with “terrorism”, although critics. They say the list is excessively wide, it contains two million names. It contains not only suspicious people, but also people associated with them.
Noncitizens who try to cross the border in the land ports of entry and the matching of terrorism “are most often considered unacceptable for our country and immediately returned”, according to the CBP. They could also be handed over to another State Agency for Executive.
If the CBP encounters them after they entered the country without being shown, “these unconcyties are most often detained and crossed into another Government Agency for subsequent detention and laws, as needed.”
Data from fiscal year 2024, which ended in 30. September, shows that there were 410 encounters with all the people who coincided in “terrorist” records, which could include American citizens, on ports of entry.
“Meetings” can represent more attempts of the same person to cross the border. This is a small part of 2.9 million total meetings with the execution on the border. From 2022. Year, most of these meetings occurred at US-Canada’s limit. 2024. 358 of these meetings took place on the northern border and 52 on the southwestern border.
The Agency also monitors the meetings between port entry ports that correspond to the “terrorist” record. There are far fewer of them, only 106 in the year ended in 30. September, with 103 of those on the southwestern border, and 13 from 1. October to January, all on the southwestern border.
We contacted Tenney’s Office to get evidence for her request, but did not receive any response.
What is the basis for Tenney’s claims?
It is probably that the source of Tenney is a report that is published in August from the Republic Judicial Committee, chaired by Representative Jim Jordan from Ohio. The report cited “information provided by the” US Department of Homeland (DHS). However, it does not supply any certificates or details. At least 99 unconstricted, which were matched in the “terrorist census” were released from 2021. until 2023. years.
An additional 34 immigrants from the list were in DHS custody. The report uses the language to suggest that the immigration authorities knew at the time of release that were notiled on the list. The report states that 99 came from a pool of 250 non-cytized people who tried to pass on the southern border and identified as listed. Statistics The CBP shows 250 encounters with people on the list before the year 2021. until 2023. on the southern border. They could be more encountered with the same person in these statistics.
The report records other cases in which people on the list crossed undiscovered and after that were arrested, including the case of eight Tajik citizens with potential relationships in the country and arrested in June. Their possible “terrorist” connections were not known when they crossed the border, towards NBC news.
A similar case included Uzbek man who remained two years without discovery. Other examples include migrants whose place is on the back in the beginning unverified.
The report also claims that the immigration judges gave the bonds of 27 migrants that appeared on the “terrorist list”, but they encountered the border between the port of the entrance from 2021. until 2023. years. However, judges may not have known the status of migrants on the list, they are reported.
Four others in the list were given asylum. A Venezuelan citizen Who are known to the authorities that will appear on the list of watches released in the US for concern COVID-19 in detention facilitiesAccording to government documents, a reporter was obtained.
The CBP referred our questions about the truth of the report on DHS, which did not respond to our queries.
So, which is the truth behind the claims that people are on the “terrorist list” in the United States were released?
Migrants with possible “terrorist” relationships are recently in news.
There were also at least two other reported cases where migrants were supposed to be closed because they were on the “terrorist list”, but they were not. NBC news reported in April about the Afghan migrator who was on the cast and release. He was arrested a year later in Texas, for hours after the NBC report. The man was not at first, because the border agents did not have enough information to corroborate their place on the list, the network reported.
The daily caller reported in 2024. on the edition of migrants whose name did not match the name on the follow-up list. He was arrested for almost a year later, two days after the authorities confirmed his ties with a Somali “terrorist” group.
Antitorialism expert said Politics that there is no credible reporting that any kind of state, local or federal “catch and release”, which includes known or suspicious “terrorists”, known as KSST.
“In contrast, if KST is caught on the border, or elsewhere will be prosecuted (if part of a certain part of the terrorist organization) or remove from the country and send to its country of origin,” he said in his country of origin, “Jason M Blažakis, director of the Center for Terrorism, extremism and antiturism at the medieval Institute of International Studies in Monterey, California.
Blazakis examined the accuracy of the Report on the Committee on the judiciary, stating that the specifics were missing.
The “terrorist list” is wide, and may involve many people who do not constitute a current threat, said Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, an older associate in the American Immigration Council.
“That doesn’t mean there are no people on that list that represent a serious threat to the United States,” said Reichlin-Melnick. “But complaints on the list are too big and false date back more than a decade.”
Discharging people known to be the “terrorist list” is not CBP’s policy. Tenney is accurate, that there are known cases of people who appear on the list released in the United States. These cases are largely involved people whose status in the list was known to the immigration authorities at the time they crossed the border.
The Board of Justice in the House was published by a report that there were 99 non-treated on the cast that were released in the United States and suggested that the immigration authorities knew their status at the time. The report quoted “information that provided” DHS, but the department did not confirm the report. Due to this uncertainty, we do not rate this claim about our truth-o-meter.
