“The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has identified as “subjects of concern” more than 400 foreign nationals who have come to the U.S. through an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network, according to three unnamed officials who spoke with NBC News.
Over 150 have been arrested, while the location of more than 50 are unknown to U.S. officials, the unnamed sources told NBC News.
“In this case, it was the information that suggested a potential tie to ISIS because of some of the individuals involved in [smuggling migrants to the border] that led us to want to take extra care,” a senior Biden administration official told the news outlet, “and out of an abundance of caution make sure that we exercised our authority in the most expansive and appropriate way to mitigate risk because of this potential connection being made.”
Many of the 400 migrants who illegally entered America through the southern border were released by border authorities because their names did not appear on the government’s terrorism watchlist.
“The fact that the whereabouts were unknown is clearly alarming,” former FBI counterterrorism section chief Christopher O’Leary, who now works at security consulting firm The Soufan Group, told NBC.
A day after the explosive report was published, DHS Secretary Mayorkas called it “incorrect,” setting him at odds with senior members of the department he leads.
“That reporting is incorrect. We have not identified 400 people with […] ISIS ties,” he told reporters.”
