CNN recently ran a piece titled, “Exclusive: Smuggler With Ties to ISIS Helped Migrants Enter from Mexico, Raising Alarm Bells Across Government.” In reality, that title should read, “Biden Administration Got Lucky When Terrorists Snuck Over Border.”
According to CNN, “Earlier this year, a cohort of migrants from Uzbekistan requested asylum and were screened by the Department of Homeland Security.” CNN continues, “There was no information in any of the intelligence community’s databases that raised any red flags and the people were all released into the U.S. pending a court date.”
But, when the FBI determined that the group had been taken over the border by a smuggler with ties to ISIS, the government sprang into action protecting the American people. Crisis averted, nothing to see here, please move along now.
