Government Admission: Biden Parole Flights Create Security 'Vulnerabilities' At U.S. Airports

 The Biden administration's legally dubious program to fly inadmissible aliens over the border and directly to U.S. airports has allegedly created law enforcement vulnerabilities too grave to release publicly.

While large immigrant-receiving cities and media lay blame for the influx on Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott's busing program, CBP has withheld from the Center - and apparently will not disclose - the names of the 43 U.S. airports that have received 320,000 inadmissible aliens from January through December 2023, nor the foreign airports from which they departed.

Now CIS's litigation has yielded a novel and newsworthy answer from the government: The public can't know the receiving airports because those hundreds of thousands of CBP-authorized arrivals have created such "Operational vulnerabilities" at airports that "Bad actors" could undermine law enforcement efforts to "Secure the United States border" if they knew the volume of CBP One traffic processed at each port of entry.

In short, the Biden administration's legally dubious program to fly inadmissible aliens over the border and directly to U.S. airports has allegedly created law enforcement vulnerabilities too grave to release publicly, lest "Bad actors" take advantage of them to inflict harm on public safety.

The agency's attorneys floated a similar argument for withholding the locations of foreign departure airports, adding only that "Bad actors" abroad who found out about the "Resources expended toward travelers arriving from particular airports" could "Extrapolate" from the numbers leaving foreign airports to identify the receiving U.S. airports and then undermine law enforcement's ability to secure the border.

Under these legally dubious parole programs, aliens who cannot legally enter the country use the CBP One app to apply for travel authorization and temporary humanitarian release from those airports.

Release by the government of the airport data would serve an important public interest in that it would provide voters and public officials with information to pressure the Biden government to reduce monthly arrival rates into their cities and states.
