Terrorist Arrest Underscores Vulnerabilities Of Biden's 'CBP One' Scheme

 On June 11, NBC News claimed one of them "Used the CBP One app, which the Biden administration created to allow migrants to book appointments to claim asylum" to enter.

This underscores the vulnerabilities of what I've referred to as the Biden administration's "CBP One app interview scheme"-and reinforces a warning I issued in December that DHS was imperiling the homeland by deliberately ignoring U.S. national-security data.

Key to those plans was the CBP One app interview scheme.

Again, the Biden administration has shrouded the CBP One interview process in a veil of secrecy, but it's reasonable to assume that every interviewee is fingerprinted and photographed, and that CBP officers collect biographical data on each of them.

If more information is required, CBP's National Targeting Center coordinates with Border Patrol agents to provide the TSC with additional information about the migrant to help the TSC determine whether the migrant is a positive Terrorist Watchlist match.

The ability of Biden's CBP to use classified national-security information when screening inadmissible aliens at the ports for terrorist ties was further inhibited by a memo issued by then-Secretary Tom Ridge in October 2004 that largely barred consideration of such evidence in the immigration-enforcement process.

CBP should have been vigilant to the intentions of Tajikistani migrants in particular, given the fact that-as the New York Times explained in April-half of all ISIS-K recruits come from the Central Asian country, and "Have taken increasingly high-profile roles in a string of recent terrorist attacks", including "Assaults in Russia, Iran and Turkey, as well as foiled plots in Europe".
