WASHINGTON, DC — Monday, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11), the Chairman of the Homeland Security Counterterrorism Subcommittee, issued a statement on the explosive report exposing the Biden-Harris Administration's negligence in releasing at least 99 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist into the country after they were arrested.

"Secretary Mayorkas refused to give a straight answer when I asked him if DHS detains and removes terrorist threats who cross the border illegally. We now know why: the Biden-Harris Administration released at least 99 dangerous individuals who match the terrorist watchlist into American communities in just two years. It took less than 20 terrorists to plot the attacks on 9/11 that killed thousands of innocent Americans. The open border policies of President Biden and Border Czar Vice President Harris put our citizens at risk."
