(Daily Caller) U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released a migrant on the terrorist watchlist due to ineffective practices within the department, a new report found.
On April 17, 2022, officials screened a migrant in Yuma, Arizona, and determined he was not a terrorist threat; additional screenings days later at Palm Springs International Airport indicated otherwise. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was only able to apprehend the migrant two weeks after the discovery due to internal complications with their removal operations branch, the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General reported.
This two-week delay was due to the ineffective information sharing between ICE, Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and the Terrorist Screening Center (TSC), the report found.
