(The Center Square) – Retired San Diego Border Patrol Chief Patrol Agent Aaron Heitke said he was instructed by the Biden administration to not publicize arrests of illegal border crossers identified as “Significant Interest Aliens” with ties to terrorism.

Heitke testified before a U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security hearing on Wednesday...

“We had an exponential increase in Significant Interest Aliens … with significant ties to terrorism,” illegally entering in the U.S. Customs and Border Protection San Diego Sector, he said....

“At the time, I was told I could not release any information on this increase in SIA’s or mention any of the arrests," Heitke testified. "The administration was trying to convince the public that there was no threat at the border.”...

".. Sectors were ordered to take in and process all the illegal aliens encountered on the border."...The result was “80% to 90%, sometimes 100% of the agents on duty [were taken] away from” the southwest border. There were miles of the border unmanned in Texas, Arizona and California, he said, where there was “no agent presence for weeks and months at a time.”

Who ordered him? Not “superiors”, not “management”... give us the name of the person who gave you this order. All these “hearings” are boring kabuki theater until there are names. Even if the Congress has no enforcement authority, public outcry and ostracism can be very effective.

And when we know who gave the order, by name, we put HIM under oath, and so on.

Hang him at the border and leave him as a warning that the same will happen to anyone else that crosses illegally.

Cut the crap. He’s a coward. Waits until he’s retired to speak out. His opinions mean nothing. We’re being played.

Now why would they endanger our nation like that? That is treasonous! (My question is rhetorical- we all know why)

We are way overdue for an attack.

Maybe that will be the October Surprise.
