Nearly 300 Suspected Terrorists Apprehended Crossing Open Border in Fiscal Year 2023 To Date – Mostly at Northern Border

 "New U.S. Border Data: 284 Suspected Terrorists Apprehended So Far in Fiscal 2023." Arizona Sun Times reports: Nearly 300 suspected terrorists have been apprehended attempting to enter the U.S. in the first few months of fiscal 2023 as 28 members of Congress formed a new caucus to address the crisis at the northern border, where record numbers of foreign nationals continue to illegally enter from Canada.

Mike Kelly, R-Pennsylvania, and Ryan Zinke, R-Montana, is expressing concerns about "The increased human and drug trafficking, along with the decrease in Border Patrol agents and lack of security, along the U.S.-Canada border." They did so as U.S. Customs and Border Protection released apprehension data for February, which appears to publicly report for the first time those on the terrorist watch list who were apprehended at ports of entry and between ports of entry.

During the same timeframe, agents apprehended 214 KSTs at ports of entry: 176 at the northern border and 38 at the southern border.

Zinke argues the northern border has been left "Unprotected and vulnerable to criminals, cartels and terrorists" because far more agents "Are dealing with Biden's crisis on the Southwest border." The northern border is the longest international border in the world, spanning 5,525 miles.

In a letter sent to Mayorkas, a majority of caucus members said the "surges in border encounters and drug smuggling coupled with the shortage of Border Patrol agents and lack of security measures place America's northern border at serious risk.

I've spoken with Border Patrol officials in my home state of Pennsylvania who tell me they are pulling double duty - they are digitally processing migrants who are apprehended at the Southern border while now also trying to defend the Northern border.
