Border Patrol agents in Arizona released an illegal immigrant into the US who was named on the FBI's terror watch list, which set off a weeks-long effort by federal agencies to locate and re-arrest the potentially dangerous individual.
The Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Inspector General released a blistering report Wednesday that faulted federal police organizations, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Border Patrol for multiple missteps in its handling of illegal immigrants in custody, including avoidable mistakes, like emailing the wrong recipient."[U.S.
Additionally, the FBI obtained other background information about the immigrant but failed to share it internally between NTC and the TSC. "However, the senior Border Patrol official who oversees Yuma sector operations told us [Border Patrol agents] should have provided a response to the NTC," stated the report."In this instance, the Yuma CPC processed the migrant on April 18, 2022, without first checking whether the NTC finished coordinating with the TSC. The NTC was still working to collect information for the TSC, when the Yuma CPC transferred the migrant for release on April 19, 2022.
"Although ICE prioritized the arrest, Fugitive Operations did not receive the [government history of the immigrant] in the mail until 8 days after requesting it," the report stated."[ICE's] Fugitive Operations wanted to review the migrant’s A-File before the arrest to enhance officer safety and help plan the operation.
