(Daily Caller) The number of suspected illegal alien terrorists removed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) skyrocketed in fiscal year 2023.
ICE removed a total of 139 known or suspected terrorists in 2023, a 148% increase compared to 2022, according to the organization’s annual report released on Friday. Federal agencies have warned in recent months that the threat of terrorism in the U.S. and at the southern border has reached new heights.
The amount of individual terrorist threats removed by ICE in 2023 is the highest figure recorded since at least 2016, according to a review of ICE’s annual reports. The number of removals recorded in 2022 was 56, and the number the year prior was 34.
