Leading senators on Monday petitioned multiple Obama administration agencies to stop stonewalling a congressional investigation into the immigration histories of at least 113 foreign-born individuals implicated in terrorist operations after legally entering the United States, according to a copy of the letters.
The latest investigation comes just days after the Washington Free Beacon disclosed that an additional 41 foreign-born individuals who legally entered the United States had been arrested for planning a number of terror attacks.
Sens. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) and Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.) disclosed Monday that they had been pressuring the Obama administration for months to disclose the immigration histories of these foreign-born individuals implicated in terror plots.
Agencies including the Departments of State and Homeland Security have stonewalled these efforts, declining since mid-2015 to provide Congress additional information. This move has prompted speculation among lawmakers that the administration is withholding information to prevent the exposure of major gaps in the U.S. screening process for new immigrants.
"The American people are entitled to information on the immigration history of terrorists seeking to harm them," Cruz and Sessions wrote to the secretaries of State and Homeland Security and the attorney general.
Similar requests for information issued sent in August and again in December have not been answered by the administration
The letter cites a recent Free Beacon report detailing that an additional 41 foreign-born individuals had been snagged on terrorism-related charges since 2014. The disclosure of these previously unknown accused terrorists brings the total number of foreigners brought up on terrorism charges to 113.

Those are Barry’s new community activists. I bet they even have a budget and expenses network run out of the government in some Omnibus sub section, titled for the exact opposite of it’s true purpose.
That’s because the Mussie-In-Chief always sides with his mussie brethren.
Has Obama done away with all terrorist watch lists? Seems so.
POS Obama is going to become more and more obstinate and obnoxious and determined.
That seems to be the pattern.
Political Winds = Winds of War
Probably hoping they’ll do something to “justify” more “common sense” gun control.
Always. Two types of people in this world. Those who wish to control others and those who must resist their efforts in order to remain free.
See what happens when congress sidesteps it's constitutional obligation to produce an annual budget and instead spends a decade living by "continuing resolutions" which guarantee every agency's gravy train keeps chugging? You get those agencies giving the bird to congress, openly laughing at them because they know there are no consequences. You get, in a word, dictatorial behavior.
They aren’t terrorists
They are Charter Members of Barack Obama’s “Civilian National Security Force”.
Cruz and Sessions should stage a riot in the Senate with videos showing the executions of Christians being decapitated while demanding the list of information from Obama. Then wait for the magic negro to respond. At least America might get a clue.
