US Border Patrol agents stopped 16 people on the FBI’s terror watch list who illegally crossed into the country from Mexico, authorities said this week — with new data showing border arrests this year are on pace to surpass 2022’s record.

The total number of encounters at the US-Mexico for fiscal year 2023 is now 69 and will likely exceed the 98 encounters documented last fiscal year, according to data released by Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Last month, agents at the southern border stopped 16 people who were on the FBI’s terror watch list, CBP said.

You can thank Gyorgy Schwartz and the other WEF miscreants for this madness.

The way our government is these days I would not be surprised to someday learn that the few folks they stop got on the list because they think men cannot be women, poofters cannot get married and stuff like that there.

What the Terrorism Watchlist Is Used For
The watchlist is used by government agencies with a national security mission, for reasons like:

Visa and passport screening (Department of State)
International travel into the U.S. (U.S. Customs and Border Protection)
Air passenger screening (Transportation Security Administration)
Immigration screening (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services)
Access to U.S. military bases (Department of Defense)
FBI investigations
Support for federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement
Additionally, some information from the watchlist is exported to the FBI’s National Crime Information Center.

How big is the terrorist watch list? Who is on it?
What is often described as a single, unified list is actually a collection of lists, or databases, created or expanded under the George W. Bush administration to avoid the breakdowns in intelligence sharing that precipitated the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Here’s how it breaks down:

The FBI’s Terrorist Screening Database is the U.S. government’s primary watch list, and what people usually mean when they refer to the terrorist watch list. It contains about 1 million records. About 5,000 of those records — 0.5 percent — are about Americans.

The screening database is subdivided into other lists. The most well-known of these is the no-fly list, whose members are barred from commercial air travel that passes through the United States. The no-fly list contains about 81,000 names, up from 16 on the eve of September 11, 2001. About 1,000 are Americans.

Though members of the no-fly list are not technically barred from entering the United States by other means, that often doesn’t matter, as those who attempt to cross the border via land or sea are often detained and interrogated along their journeys. The FBI shares watch list information with other countries, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection gives recommendations to ship captains about passengers who may pose risks to transportation security.

This sharing of watch list information ensnared Knaeble as he sought to return to the U.S. from Colombia. In May 2010, after a two-month delay, he flew to Mexico City, planning to cross into the United States by land. After he touched down, Mexican authorities detained him at the gate, questioned him for three hours, barred him from traveling farther into Mexico, and flew him back to Bogotá.

Wow, are we supposed to be impressed? There’s only a few thousand ISIS terrorists behind them.

The only thing good about this is that when they attack, it will be on blue cities.
