Border Patrol nabbed 17 people on FBI terror watch list at southern border in December

Border Patrol agents stopped 17 people on the FBI’s terror watch list at the southern border in December, bringing the total of individuals arrested at the southern border to 38 already for the current fiscal year.

Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) latest numbers for December, released on Friday, revealed Border Patrol has arrested 17 people at the southern border whose names match on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) — which contains information about the identities of those who are known or ‘reasonably suspected’ of being involved in terrorist activities. 

December’s numbers bring the total number of terror watch list arrests between the ports of entry since FY 2023 began on Oct 1. to 38.

There were 98 terror watch list arrests in FY22, 15 in FY21 and just three in FY 20 at the southern border caught between ports of entry.

At the ports of entry at the northern and southern borders, meanwhile, CBP’s Office of Field Operations has encountered 125 people on the TSDB so far this fiscal year. In FY 2022 there were 380 apprehensions, 157 in FY21 and 196 in FY20.

While the numbers encountered by Border Patrol are a slim fraction of the more than 251,000 migrants encountered at the southern border in December, it has raised concerns from Republicans not only about some of the people trying to get into the U.S. — but also how many may be slipping past overwhelmed Border Patrol agents.

CBP sources told Fox News this week that there were more than 70,000 gotaways in the month of December, similar to the number detected in November. There were nearly 600,000 in FY 2022.

Republicans have pointed to the enormous numbers at the border, including gotaways, to dispute the claim by the Biden administration that the border is ‘secure.’ The Biden administration, meanwhile, said this week that it is dealing with a mass migration that has ‘gripped our hemisphere.’

‘The threats and the challenges we face are evolving, increasingly diverse, and dynamic. Yet we can meet this moment if and only if we work together,’ Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said at the U.S. Conference of Mayors.

He also said DHS was ‘executing a comprehensive strategy to secure our borders and build a safe, orderly and humane immigration system working within a broken system in desperate need of legislative reform.’

However, Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee have promised to increase scrutiny on the administration’s policies in the wake of the new numbers, and taking aim at ‘this refusal to enforce law and order at the border.’ 

‘We look forward to having Secretary Mayorkas before the Committee soon to provide answers and accountability for the significant threat these border security policies have had on our homeland security posture,’ Chairman Mark Green said in a statement on Friday.
