Officials say that between October 2022 to September 30, 2023, 151 migrants with positive terrorism watchlist matches were arrested at the border.
Government data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection show that the number of migrants with positive terrorism watchlist matches is at an all-time high.SAN DIEGO — Border officials say they've seen a growing number of people on the FBI's terrorist watchlist trying to enter the country through the U.S.-MX border.
“We ought to be concerned about the high number of migrants that carry with them the intention of doing harm to us," said legal expert, Dan Eaton, who has been following the migrant crisis closely. Pedro Rios, an immigrant rights advocate, says sometimes innocent people get flagged by border officials.
Eaton says the filtering method used by officials is especially important for San Diego because of our proximity to the border.
