38 people on terror watchlist nabbed at southern border since Oct. 1
2023-01-24
[NYPOST] Border enforcement officials apprehended more than three dozen people named on the federal terrorism watchlist at the US-Mexico frontier in the final three months of 2022 — after a record number of terror suspects were caught in the 12 months ending Sept. 30 of last year.

According to US Customs and Border Protection, 38 people identified as known terrorists, suspected terrorists, or associates of both were stopped while attempting to cross into the US between official points of entry since Oct. 1.

In fiscal year 2022, CBP apprehended 98 people whose names appeared on the terror watchlist trying enter the US illegally. That number is on pace to top 150 in fiscal year 2023.

The watchlist was established after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks as a federal database of known forces of Evil who are not US citizens, according to the FBI
...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...
. It has since expanded to include suspected forces of Evil and their known affiliates.
According to the latest data from the US Customs and Border Protection, 38 people from the terror watchlist were stopped on the border since October.

Between Oct. 1, 2016 and Sept. 30, 2020 only 11 people on the terror watchlist were arrested trying to enter the US from Mexico.

In fiscal year 2021, there were 15 arrests related to the terror watchlist before spiking to 98 between Oct. 1, 2021 and Sept. 30, 2022.

The dramatic increase in crossings of known or suspected forces of Evil comes as illegal immigration continues to explode in the US under President Joe Biden
