The Inspector General (IG) for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reports the Biden White House chose not to notify states that noncitizens were being allowed to enter without proper identification.
The same report shows that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) didn’t inform domestic airlines that “high-risk” noncitizens were boarding their airlines.
Federal law states that “noncitizens without ID are not admissible into the country and “shall be detained,” but the inspector general said CBP and ICE allowed noncitizens into the U.S. and Florida that were based on various circumstances.
Immigrants are given immigration forms and with no ID, can get on a domestic air flight.
The IG’s office requested information from DHS about the number of noncitizens who came into the U.S. between 2021 and 2023 without identification.
CBP and ICE could not provide the data because the information was not entered into their computer system.
Those ‘high-risk’ noncitizens could fly on a domestic airline and arrive in Florida because the TSA said the information they rely on is provided to them by CBP and ICE.
The IG report noted that some high-risk people allowed into the U.S. were also found to be on the FBI’s Terror Watchlist in 2022.
From its findings, the inspector general said, “CBP and ICE continue to allow noncitizens – whose identities immigration officers cannot confirm – to enter the country, they may inadvertently increase national security risks.,”
In February of this year, Florida Daily reported how the Biden administration sent more flights of illegal immigrants to Florida than any other state.
DHS called it “Humanitarian Parole,” which allows migrants to bypass the normal screening process to enter the country for a temporary period of time due to a “compelling emergency.”
The numbers released showed around 386,000 migrants (single adults and family units) were allowed to fly to interior U.S. airports transporting the illegal immigrants, where the majority landed in Florida without any proper identification.
Governor DeSantis complained that DHS never notifies them of illegals flying into the state, which prompted actions by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody to sue the federal government to stop parole programs on grounds that the administration’s illegal abuse of the narrow statutory parole authority has directly harmed them.
