(NY Post) A Somali terrorist was allowed into the country and was able to operate freely for almost a year before authorities realized their error and rearrested him.
Republican lawmakers are demanding information from Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas about what happened to the man — and whether US citizens funded any part of his journey to or stay in the US.
The 27-year-old Somalian — who so far has not been identified by name — was on the watchlist as “a confirmed member of al Shabaab” involved in the use, manufacture or transportation of explosives or firearms, but a border bungle meant he was released after initially being arrested for crossing into the country illegally in California in March 2023.
