Watchdog alerts Trump that border agency violated DNA collection law for years, letting violent criminals walk free
By Gregg Re, Catherine Herridge, Cyd Upson | Fox NewsA top government watchdog accuses U.S. Customs and Border Protection of allowing violent offenders to walk free for nearly a decade by failing to collect DNA samples from detained migrants; Catherine Herridge reports on the letter sent to President Trump and Congress.
In a scathing letter to Trump, exclusively obtained by Fox News, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) said CBP's "noncompliance with the law has allowed subjects subsequently accused of violent crimes, including homicide and sexual assault, to elude detection even when detained multiple times by CBP or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)."
The OSC told the White House that it was taking the "strongest possible step" to "rebuke the agency's failure to comply with the law," as well as its "unreasonable" attempts to defend its own conduct.
