Laura Ingraham, a representative of Fox News, criticized the Biden administration vehemently for allowing a terrorist to enter the United States. According to the report obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation, an individual affiliated with al-Shabaab, a Somalian-based radical Islamic terrorist organization, was detained at the U.S.-Mexico border in March 2023. Subsequently, the individual was allowed to return to the country before being apprehended in January. Ingraham, who is not averse to calling out the shortcomings of the Biden administration, emphasized the gravity of the issue at hand by discussing this incident with Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri.

As per the memorandum, the al-Shabaab member unlawfully entered the United States in the vicinity of San Ysidro, California, prior to his apprehension by ICE officials in Minnesota approximately one year later. Surprisingly, even two days prior to his arrest, it took U.S. authorities until January 18 to corroborate his identity. Ingraham voiced apprehension regarding the liberation of this person and emphasized that Minnesota, home to a substantial Somali population, was an indisputable location for him to settle. Permitting unrestricted entry for violent extremist organizations such as al-Shabaab into the country unequivocally presents a significant peril to the security of the nation.
This momentous occurrence serves as a singular illustration of the more extensive crisis that has unfolded along the U.S.-Mexico border. Recent data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) indicates that over 440,000 unauthorized immigrants were admitted to the country over the course of three months. More than 302,000 unauthorized immigrants traversed the border in December alone, bringing the total number of encounters in the first two months of fiscal year 2024 to nearly 380,000. Additionally, for prior fiscal years, the CBP disclosed astounding numbers: 2,045,838 encounters in fiscal year 2023, 2,206,436 in fiscal year 2022, and 1,659,206 in fiscal year 2021.
These numerical values warrant significant concern. Senator Schmitt accurately noted that the identities and locations of these individuals in concealment remain unknown. Many of these released unlawful immigrants were granted parole by the Biden administration, which violates the principle of individual adjudication. This blatant abuse of our system exemplifies the shattered condition of President Biden's immigration policies. It is beyond dispute that the nation is currently enduring the repercussions of being led by a coalition of open-borders globalists from the White House.
The shocking revelation that a terrorist was allowed to enter the United States ought to cause every American to doubt the current administration's effectiveness and priorities. Ensuring the security and safety of our nation ought to be of the utmost importance; it is morally reprehensible to permit unrestricted movement of individuals affiliated with violent extremist organizations within our borders. Demanding harsher measures to safeguard our nation and holding the Biden administration accountable for its unsuccessful immigration policies are of the utmost importance. It is appropriate to commend the Daily Caller News Foundation for its endeavors in exposing this vital information.
