NEWSRAEL: There is no way that Latin Americans are the only ones crossing freely the southern border of the USA. While people are looked at and searched and ask questions at custom crossing like US international airports - people cut through all that will Biden open borders. Have no doubt - many terrorists have walked through and are asleep until they get their orders.

BREITBART reports that Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) is leading a call for Judiciary Committee Democrats to hold a hearing to investigate if the Biden administration’s reduced border controls are being “exploited” by foreign terrorists.

Biggs and his eight Republican colleagues on the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security sent a letter, first obtained by Breitbart News, to subcommittee chair Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) on Wednesday evening detailing reports about a Michigan incident that prompted their investigation request.

The GOP congressmembers wrote that Jackson Lee “must immediately” hold a hearing to “investigate the recent reports that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released an illegal alien with ties to terrorism from custody because he might catch COVID-19 in a detention facility.”

Michigan-based journalist Charlie LeDuff first reported on the illegal alien’s release and his reporting was later corroborated by the Detroit News. The reports revealed that Issam Bazzi, who was born in Lebanon but living in Venezuela, attempted to enter the U.S. illegally near San Antonio, Texas, in November with his wife and daughter but that they were apprehended by border officials.

Both FBI and ICE officials recommended Bazzi stay detained, with one official citing that Bazzi was a “known suspected terrorist” and “a flight risk,” according to the reports.

Nevertheless, the Department of Homeland Security, led by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, authorized that Bazzi and his family members be released into the U.S. One report, according to LeDuff and the News, specified that DHS authorized Bazzi’s release in part because he was overweight and would therefore be in a higher-risk category if he contracted coronavirus.
