According to a new report, from October 2022 and August, 74,904 illegal immigrants were marked countrywide as possibly posing concerns to national security.
Some unauthorized immigrants are labeled “special interest aliens” because they may travel in ways that “possibly have a nexus to terrorism” or because they may originate from nations that do.
According to internal agency statistics previously obtained by the DCNF, Border Patrol agents encountered 25,627 “special interest” illegal migrants in fiscal year 2022 as opposed to 3,675 encounters in fiscal year 2021; however, this data does not account for all CBP interactions of special interest aliens.
Just looking at their country of origin alone, illegal immigrants can be classified as special interest aliens.
The FBI is presently looking for a group of more than a dozen Uzbek migrants who were released into the country by federal officials after using an ISIS-affiliated smuggler to enter the country through the southern border.
The number of people on the terror watchlist making entry attempts into the United States has increased recently, according to CBP. 149 people have been caught by Border Patrol trying to enter the nation illegally so far in fiscal year 2023, up from 16 in fiscal year 2021 and 98 for the entire fiscal year 2022.

They are ALL CRIMINALS! They break our laws to come here & then the ijits in DC REWARD them, while they keep right on stealing from us, killing our citizens, etc! Time to meet and repel them at our borders with force, lethal, if necessary! We can’t afford them, period! We have no housing for them without depriving our own citizens, nor food nor medicine,etc. We owe our own, not the criminal invaders!
I was a customs officer for 30 years. When I started at the border, ten years, we didn’t even require weapons. Mexican nationals obeyed our laws. To cross the US required a border crossing card from a consulate or a passport with visas to travel past the 25 mile marker….The word was out the inspectors will send you back without either document…It worked out well, they didn’t break laws because they didn’t want to lose the card. They shopped for their businesses, took kids to school and in emergencies came over to the hospitals. and then politicians took over and ruined the border, over 1200 drowned, over 200 on the terrorist watch list, smuggling of children, not theirs, to get across, etc. Over 6.5 million unvetted people from all over the world. Today on the radio DC was declared the least desirable city to live in. It has become dirty, tent cities everywhere, etc. over the weekend there were 7 car jackings. You got the government you voted for.
