\"FEMA\"<\/p>\n

Twenty-three years after Islamic terrorists used airplanes to conduct the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil, the federal agency created to protect Americans from national security threats \u201ccannot ensure they are keeping high-risk noncitizens without identification from entering the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The potentially high-risk noncitizens are being flown on domestic flights without identification, creating a public safety risk, according to the latest Office of Inspector General report assessing several federal agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n

The OIG has repeatedly published reports<\/a> identifying potential national security risks created by Biden-Harris policies identified within DHS and its subagencies.<\/p>\n

In the latest redacted report<\/a> that has \u201csensitive security information,\u201d the OIG expressed concerns about Americans\u2019 public safety to the administrators of the Transportation Security Administration, US Customs and Border Protection, and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>\n

The report states the agencies didn\u2019t assess risks to public safety by releasing non-citizens into the United States without identification and putting them on domestic flights.<\/p>\n

The OIG requested data on the number of noncitizens without identification who were released into the United States from fiscal years 2021 through 2023. \u201cBecause immigration officers are not required to document whether a noncitizen presented identification in the databases,\u201d the data the OIG obtained \u201cmay be incomplete.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, neither CBP nor ICE could determine how many of the millions of noncitizens seeking entry in the United States each year entered without identification and whose self-reported biographic information was accepted,\u201d the report states. CBP and ICE officers interviewed by the OIG \u201cacknowledged the risks of allowing noncitizens without identification into the country, yet neither CBP nor ICE conducted a comprehensive risk assessment for these noncitizens to assess the level of risk these individuals present and developed corresponding mitigation measures,\u201d the report states.<\/p>\n

One of the primary responsibilities of CBP and ICE is to verify noncitizens\u2019 identities prior to seeking entry; TSA is responsible for screening everyone who boards domestic flights. The OIG audited them to determine to what extent CBP and ICE policies and procedures confirmed individual\u2019s identities \u201cfor the documents TSA accepts for domestic travel and whether TSA ensures noncitizens traveling on domestic flights provide proof of identification consistent with all other domestic travelers.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Border Patrol officials have explained<\/a>, the majority of illegal border crossers are not vetted and released with DHS papers. The OIG confirms this, stating CBP and ICE officers accept \u201cself-reported biographical information, which they use to issue various immigration forms. Once in the United States, noncitizens can travel on domestic flights.\u201d<\/p>\n

The OIG also notes that noncitizens do not have TSA-acceptable identification<\/a> but \u201care allowed to board domestic flights.\u201d TSA requires them \u201cto undergo vetting and additional screening,\u201d which involves running their information through systems to validate information on DHS\u2013issued immigration forms and conducting additional screening procedures like pat downs.<\/p>\n

\u201cTSA\u2019s vetting and screening procedures do not eliminate the risk that noncitizens who may pose a threat to fellow passengers could board domestic flights,\u201d the OIG report says.<\/p>\n

It gets worse, the OIG says.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder current processes, CBP and ICE cannot ensure they are keeping high-risk noncitizens without identification from entering the country. Additionally, TSA cannot ensure its vetting and screening procedures prevent high-risk noncitizens who may pose a threat to the flying public from boarding domestic flights.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 37-page redacted report details the procedures that must be followed according to federal law and notes in bold: \u201cCBP and ICE have policies and procedures for screening noncitizens, but neither component knows how many noncitizens without identification documents are released into the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Security issues also exist with the CBP One app, which has been used to fast track over 813,000 inadmissible illegal foreign nationals into the country, The Center Square reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These issues are redacted. \u201cBecause of CBP\u2019s and ICE\u2019s process for inspecting and releasing noncitizens, TSA\u2019s methods to screen for individuals who pose a threat would not necessarily prevent these individuals from boarding flights,\u201d the OIG warns.<\/p>\n

It also points out that it has released previous reports where its office \u201cdocumented similar weaknesses in CBP\u2019s screening processes that allowed high-risk individuals into the country,\u201d including those on the terrorist watchlist.<\/p>\n

It concludes, \u201cIf CBP and ICE continue to allow noncitizens \u2013 whose identities immigration officers cannot confirm \u2013 to enter the country, they may inadvertently increase national security risks.\u201d<\/p>\n

The agencies did not concur with the OIG\u2019s findings. In response, the OIG, as prescribed by a DHS directive, gave them 90 days to respond and provide corrective action that would be taken as well as a target completion date for each recommendation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
