So How Did A Terrorist Sneak Into The US? DHS Dishes The Dirt

As the United States-southern border with Mexico continues to face overwhelming illegal migrant crossings, a new report issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Office (DHS) of the Inspector General (OIG) outlined mistakes that led to the release of an illegal migrant who was on the FBI’s Terrorist Watchlist.
According to the report, in April of last year, the suspected terrorist and his family were arrested by Border Patrol in Yuma, Arizona, where agents enacted a national security screening in collaboration with the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center (TSC).
The Bureau found that the migrant was an “inconclusive match” with its Terrorist Watchlist, informing the Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) National Targeting Center (NTC), which is a government entity that uses intelligence and law enforcement information to target and intercept travelers arriving in the homeland, on all forms of transportation, who pose a threat to national security.
