We're seeing a unified effort across President Trump's national security team and the Department of Homeland Security to ensure a safe, free, and prosperous society for Americans. Over 21 million people have crossed our borders illegally under the Biden administration, many unvetted. For example, over 4,000 people from Central Asia, affiliated with an ISIS network, crossed our borders. Hundreds were identified as known terrorists or associated with known terrorists. This information was provided to the Biden administration, yet only a fraction of those arrested were deported or remained in custody; the rest were released into our country. We're working with the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI to keep Americans safe. Our counterterrorism center is focused on vetting to identify and remove those who pose a threat. The president's designation of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations is crucial, especially with their tactics mirroring those of Islamist terrorists. Our mission is clear: to keep the American people safe.

Concerns about terror cells crossing the border arise when hundreds of thousands of people are allowed in. While terrorists and individuals on the watchlist have been caught, the accurate number of those who have sneaked through remains uncertain. The influx of migrants, with videos showing long lines at the border, raises questions about the wisdom of such a policy. Building a wall is suggested as a solution, but opposition to it is often labeled as racist. It is also speculated whether other countries, like Russia, are engineering social media outrage surrounding this issue.

People have been continuously crossing the border, with 30 individuals hitting the terror screening database since October 1st. In Lukeville, another area where people are arriving, individuals from Bangladesh, Egypt, China, Senegal, and Angola have been seen. One man from Angola shared that he spent five months traveling and thousands of dollars to fly to Brazil. He then made a dangerous journey through the Darien Gap, Central America, and Mexico to reach his current location. The outcome of his situation, like many others, remains uncertain. This is a concerning issue.

In San Diego, there was an exponential increase in significant interest aliens (SIAs), defined as aliens with significant ties to terrorism. The San Diego sector averaged 10-15 SIAs per year before this administration, but went to over 100 in 2022, and even more in subsequent years. The speaker was allegedly told not to release information on this increase or mention arrests, as the administration was trying to convince the public there was no threat at the border. The San Diego area sees 80-90% of the methamphetamine and fentanyl seizures annually for the entire country, and with little enforcement at the border, these drugs were allegedly coming through in mass. In 2022 and 2023, San Diego traffic checkpoints were shut down because resources had been diverted. The speaker also had to release hundreds of illegal aliens each day into communities. To mitigate the problem, two flights a week were provided from San Diego to Texas at $150,000 each.

Over 4,000 individuals from Central Asia crossed our borders using an ISIS-affiliated network. Our counterterrorism center identified hundreds as known terrorists or associates and alerted the Biden administration. In 2024, over a hundred were arrested, but only eight were deported or remained in custody, while the rest were released into our country. We must stay focused, collaborating with the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI to ensure American safety. Our counterterrorism center aims to be the primary source for vetting to identify and remove threats. The president's designation of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations aligns with this, especially given their adoption of tactics mirroring Islamist terrorists. Our mission is to protect Americans, and I'm honored to contribute to President Trump's team in achieving this goal.

The Homeland Security Department's inspector general released a report on the release of a suspected terrorist at the border during the mass migration crisis. The report reveals that border patrol was too overwhelmed to prioritize counterterrorism work, which I have been warning about for two years. The protocols for counterterrorism programs were not being followed. The suspect was able to make his way to Florida before being tracked down two weeks later. This highlights the impact of the mass migration crisis on border patrol's ability to carry out their routine duties. For a detailed analysis, you can find the report under my name at cis.org.

We don't need to build a wall; it's not an emergency. The idea that terrorists are invading through the southern border is false. Recent reports indicate that some individuals with suspected ties to ISIS crossed the border over a year ago. Alarmingly, during a three-year period, over 100 people on the terrorist watch list were released into the U.S. under the Biden administration. Among the record number of migrants crossing the border, one was linked to an Afghan terror organization. Border patrol agents encountered at least 375 illegal migrants on the terror watch list, with 99 released into American communities, including thousands from Afghanistan, China, Iran, Syria, and Uzbekistan. The notion of a wall is not a solution to this issue.

Border patrol agents have expressed concerns about the lack of manpower on the southern border due to agents being pulled off the front lines for processing. This has resulted in gaps in border patrol coverage. The number of individuals on the FBI's terror watch list arrested while crossing illegally at the southern border has reached a record high of 151, surpassing the previous six years combined. However, there have been over 1.5 million known "Godaways," illegal immigrants who successfully enter the United States without capture due to insufficient manpower. Internal CBP data reveals that thousands of special interest aliens from countries associated with terrorism have been arrested while crossing illegally. Border patrol agents have limited information on these individuals, making it difficult to vet them for potential criminal records or threats. This poses significant national security concerns.

Since Joe Biden took office, an estimated 1.5 million people have crossed the border without being detained. The number of people crossing has increased recently, with around 1,000 people per day crossing from various countries. The president has requested $14 billion for the border, but it is unclear how the funds will be allocated. Currently, only a small percentage of vehicles crossing the southern border are checked or scanned, making it easy for potential terrorists to enter the country. This situation is concerning as it provides an opportunity for sleeper cells to carry out attacks.

Border patrol resources in Lukeville have left the West Desert area towards Yuma unmanned, attracting illegal immigrants, criminals, and potentially terrorists. Water droppers and flags strategically placed along the route make it easier for them to enter the country illegally. The lack of tracking and monitoring in this area poses a major national security threat, as drugs, human trafficking, and potential terrorists can freely pass through. The prioritization of processing fake asylum requests over patrolling these areas is a result of Joe Biden's policies, putting America's security at risk. Dumped clothes and water bottles indicate recent activity, highlighting the urgency to address this issue. The number of illegal crossings is likely much higher than reported due to the lack of monitoring.

Illegal immigration hit record lows under border patrol services. However, after a change in leadership, around 20 million people entered the country. The data shown is a few months old, but the impact is clear.

There has been a continuous influx of migrants at the border, with numbers being hidden through the use of the CBP one app. Migrants are being told to return to Mexico, fill out the app, and then enter the US where they are immediately released. This violates immigration laws. Additionally, the number of terrorists crossing the border is increasing, with 29 apprehended this month. There has also been a significant rise in Chinese nationals, some of whom are linked to the PLA. This open border situation poses a national security crisis under Mayorkas' responsibility.

The director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) revealed that over 13,000 illegal immigrants convicted of homicide have been released into the U.S. Additionally, there are 15,811 illegal immigrants with sexual assault convictions also roaming the country. The non-detained docket includes migrants caught and released at the border, as well as those ordered deported but still present in the U.S. Currently, there are about 425,000 noncitizens with criminal convictions on this docket, along with nearly 1,900 facing pending homicide charges and over 4,250 with pending sexual assault charges. The non-detained docket has significantly increased under the Biden administration, with projections suggesting it could reach 8 million by year-end.

President Biden has seen a surge in illegal border crossings, causing strain on southern border states. This has led to challenges in immigration and border security.

In San Diego, there was an exponential increase in significant interest aliens (SIAs), defined as aliens with significant ties to terrorism. The San Diego sector averaged 10 to 15 SIAs per year before this administration, but went to over 100 in 2022, and even more in 2023 and this year. The speaker was allegedly told not to release information on this increase. The San Diego area sees 80-90% of the methamphetamine and fentanyl seizures annually for the entire country, and with little border enforcement, these drugs were coming through in mass. The price for a single pill of fentanyl went from $10 to $0.25. San Diego traffic checkpoints were shut down due to resources being diverted. The speaker had to release illegal aliens by the hundreds each day into communities that could not support them. To mitigate this, two flights a week were provided from San Diego to Texas at $150,000 per flight.

ICE Director Todd Lyons accused the Biden administration of misleading the public by recording processed and released illegal aliens as arrests. Former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas previously blamed Congress for immigration issues, stating that immigration enforcement laws have not been updated since 1996. Sources told Fox News that nationwide gotaways across the border are averaging about 77 in recent weeks, which is lower than previously observed. Gotaways are illegal migrants who evade border patrol agents.

A cartel admitted it is easier to move human beings, drugs, guns, and fentanyl across the border now than in the history of their cartel. This has occurred within the last 3 years. Law enforcement resources are quickly depleted due to the Biden and Harris administration.

There has been a concerning trend at the southern border regarding suspected terrorists. In 2019, there were zero arrests, which increased to three in 2020. In 2021, the number rose to 15, and last year it reached 98. This year, there have already been 151 arrests. The pattern of increasing arrests at the southern border is clear.

I started my career in immigration enforcement in 1984 and worked for 6 presidents. Every president secured the border until Biden, who intentionally left it unsecured. The border went from the most secure to historic illegal immigration levels. The administration moves people to ports of entry to show fewer illegal entries in between, but it failed. There were over 300,000 crossings from November to December. Biden's policies are causing people to come and stay, with 1.9 million "gotaways" proving the border is not secure.

Secretary Mayorkas has put national security at risk, allowing terrorists and enemies to flood across the border. There's been a surge in Chinese nationals, many military-age men with ties to the PLA and CCP, released into the U.S. by Secretary Mayorkas. It's likely China is using Russia's template of sending military personnel into the U.S. There are 10,000 Chinese nationals illegally crossing into the U.S. being released into the country this fiscal year. Today's hearing will investigate the details and effects of Mayorkas' dereliction of duty. The speaker hopes the American people, the press, and the President will take note of these failures.

Border patrol agents have expressed extreme concerns about the individuals crossing the southern border. In fiscal year 2023, 151 people on the FBI Terror Watch list have been arrested while crossing illegally, the highest number on record and higher than the previous six years combined. However, the Biden administration argues that this indicates they are catching more people. On the other hand, there have been over 1.5 million known "Godaways" since President Biden took office. These are illegal immigrants who are seen on cameras or sensors but successfully enter the United States without capture due to a lack of manpower. Additionally, thousands of individuals from special interest countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, have been arrested while crossing illegally. Border patrol agents have limited means of vetting these individuals, as their home countries do not share their records or data. This raises significant security concerns, particularly in light of the situation in Israel.

Under President Trump, our border was more secure than under President Biden. I visited the border and spoke with Arkansas National Guard members who are there because the federal government is not doing their job. They informed us that in just one month, more people on the terrorist watch list crossed the border than during Trump's entire presidency.

According to Speaker 1, the open border is the biggest national security vulnerability the country has ever seen. CBP data indicates that 1,272 Iranian nationals were released into the country under Joe Biden, compared to zero under the Trump administration. Speaker 1 claims that under President Trump, the U.S. had the most secure border in history, preventing the release of special interest aliens. While over 10,000,000 people crossed the border under Joe Biden, the biggest concern is the 2,000,000 known gotaways. Speaker 1 states that these individuals crossed undetected because Border Patrol was overwhelmed, creating a significant national security vulnerability.

In the current fiscal year, over 40,000 Chinese migrants have been encountered at US borders, with 175,000 "gotaways" reported. These individuals are dangerous and avoid capture, possibly with criminal backgrounds or on terrorist watch lists. The influx has increased since President Biden took office, with reports of alarming encounters on ranches near the border. Communities like Nogales are experiencing street releases of migrants from various countries, leaving them stranded. The situation is concerning for Arizona and the nation as a whole.

It's alarming to see FBI Director Chris Ray alert Congress about security threats while urging them to push the DHS and the White House to secure the border. Recent statistics reveal significant numbers of individuals from various countries, including 21,100 Afghans, 33,000 Chinese, 541 Iranians, 520 Syrians, and over 31,100 Uzbeks. Additionally, an ISIS smuggling ring has infiltrated over 400 people, with some plotting attacks similar to the Pulse nightclub incident. The situation is escalating, and the responsibility lies with Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas.
