Obama admin kept secret terrorist 'hands off' list
The Department of Homeland Security removed the names of nearly 1,000 individuals suspected of terrorism ties from the U.S. terrorist watch list, according to newly released documents obtained by an advocacy group under a Freedom of Information Act request.
The Washington Free Beacon first reported in 2014 that the Obama administration secretly assembled a terrorist “hands off” list that enabled individuals with terrorist ties unfettered entrance into the United States.
The latest documents, obtained by Judicial Watch and released on Tuesday, appear to confirm these initial reports. They further disclose that at least 1,000 names were scrubbed from the U.S. Terrorist Screening Database as part of an administration effort to protect the civil rights of suspected individuals.
“The documents appear to confirm charges that Obama administration changes created a massive ‘hands off’ list,” Judicial Watch said in a statement. “Removed data from the terrorist watch list could have helped prevent the San Bernardino terrorist attack.”
Lawmakers disclosed in 2014 that the administration has secretly assembled a terrorist “hands off” list that facilitated travel to the United States for those one flagged as a potential terror threat. Sources who spoke to the Free Beacon at the time disclosed that at least one individual, a Canadian Islamist leader tied to Hamas and Hezbollah, had been put on the list.
“These new documents bolster allegations that the Obama administration may have removed information from a terrorist watch list that could have prevented the San Bernardino terrorist attack,” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said in a statement. “Philip Haney risked his career to blow the whistle on how the Obama administration created a ‘hands off” list of over 1,000 foreign nationals with potential terrorist ties.”
And this is why people are fleeing the GOP. they are supposed to be an opposition party but in fact are quite the opposite.
WE WANT NAMES!
Obama stooge Jeh Johnson, you TREASONOUS BASTARD!
“And the sold- out - to- our- enemies GOP-e and Congress still does nothing.”
And that is why there is a Donald Trump beating their a**e* tonight!
ISIS lives in the WH.
But they really need to see into your iPhone.
He's interested in providing security for Obama's Homeland instead of America.
Yes. Understood. I just hope he proves out well. He just might. At least on ending the Obama economic depression and very hopefully returning obsma’s “immigrants” to their home krapistans.
DHS = oxymoron
TREASON!
At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason ~ nully's son
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
FUJJ!
at least 1,000 names were scrubbed from the U.S. Terrorist Screening Database
= = =
Maybe Apple can be made to recover them from the database.
There was a San Bernardino connection with a group based in India.
And the FBI wants Apple to show them how to have access to any phone so they can keep us safer?
In light of this, what a joke that excuse is.
They just want more control over the rest of us.
Hmmmm
I didn’t think we could even know who is on the list. Also I understand if you are there is no appealing it.
they’re all pieces of #### and they have no intention, IMHO, of turning over power to a Cruz or Trump
After reviewing the actual report this looks like the Free Beacon trying to get the folks riled up.
The people removed from the list were originally placed there by one employee who was doing so in violation of the Bush administrations’s published guidelines. As a result many people who didn’t meet the selection criteria were put onto the list.
Their removal was just to get the list back into compliance and really doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Obama.
” . .removed the names of nearly 1,000 individuals suspected of terrorism ties from the U.S. terrorist watch list”
Must’ve had to make room for all of the Bible believing Christians that demonic Sunni Obama creature wanted added instead,
