Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told the press that former President Joe Biden’s administration caught over 100 known terrorists with ISIS links at the border.
The administration only locked up eight of those people.
The president talked about in his speech over 21 million people have come across our borders illegally under Joe Biden’s administration. There are many of them that we don’t know who they are. They have not been vetted. We don’t know where they are.I’ll give you one quick example of one of the problems that we are getting after. From Central Asia, there were over 4000 people who came across our borders using an ISIS affiliated network. Our national counterterrorism center went through and identified those individuals. There were hundreds of them who were either known terrorists or associated with known terrorists. That information was provided to the Biden administration.You may remember in some of the news, a little over 100 of those people were arrested in 2024.Of those who were arrested, only eight were either deported or remained in custody. Only eight. The rest of them were released back into our country.Where are they? What are they doing? What may they be plotting?This is just the beginning. There are many, many areas that we need to stay very focused on, working with Department of Homeland Security, working with the FBI to ensure that we’re keeping the American people safe.Our counterterrorism center is working on making sure that we have that single source for vetting so that we can figure out who is actually in our country and identify those who pose a threat and get them removed. The president’s designation of the cartels is foreign terrorist organizations falls directly into this, especially as we’re seeing some of the tactics that these cartels are using reflect some of the tactics that we’ve seen used by Islamist terrorists in countries that many of us have served in overseas.Our mission is very clear. Our objective is to keep the American people safe. I’m grateful to be a part of this team that President Trump has assembled to accomplish that mission. Thank you.
Biden’s Department of Homeland Security released the data in June 26, claiming officials “identified over 400 immigrants from Central Asia and elsewhere” since 2021.
Officials labeled these people as “subjects of concern” because of “an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network” brought them to the U.S.
The administration admitted it had no idea where over 50 of the subjects were in America.
President Donald Trump’s policies have worked or people know that they don’t stand a chance of coming into America the illegal way.
The border patrol only encountered 8,326 people at the southern border in 2025, an all-time low for the month.
