The Obiden Regime not only released a record number of known or suspected terrorists (KSTs) into the U.S. but also gave them Social Security numbers and taxpayer-funded welfare benefits, according to a new analysis by the DOGE.
This from headlineusa.com.
DOGE posted its latest findings of alleged government waste, fraud, and abuse, fully funded by Congress, in a post on X.
From DOGE’s findings, during the four Obiden years:
[I]t was routine for Border Patrol to admit aliens into the United States with no legal status and minimal screening.
The Center Square first reported:
More than 14 million illegal border crossers [were] reported under [The Regime], including more than two million who evaded detection.
The Center Square exclusively reported:
They include millions flown to the U.S. on international flights paid for by taxpayers through parole programs created by the administration that judges ruled were illegal in lawsuits filed by states. Among them are more than one million from Venezuela, including members of the violent terrorist organization Tren de Aragua, who under [The Obiden Regime] had expanded into at least 22 states where crimes were reported.
Under The Regime, Border Patrol and U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers released inadmissible illegal foreign nationals into the U.S. instead of processing them for removal.
Among them, DOGE stated:
[Were] a subset of 6.3k individuals paroled into the United States since 2023 on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center watchlist or with criminal records.
This references the Terrorist Screening Dataset, the federal government’s database that contains sensitive information on terrorist identities. The TSDS originated as a consolidated terrorist watchlist to hold information on known or suspected terrorists.
CBP explained:
Over the past decade, it evolved to include additional individuals who represent a potential threat to the United States, including known affiliates of watchlisted individuals.
Referring to more than a dozen parole programs House Republicans identified as illegal, DOGE stated:
Under the Trump administration these paroles have since been terminated with immediate effect.
DOGE further stated:
Despite having no other legal status, paroled aliens [during The Obiden Regime], were given work authorization and received Social Security numbers. Of the 6,300 paroled illegal foreign nationals with criminal or terrorist records, all given Social Security numbers, many received federal welfare benefits.
DOGE explained, of them:
– 905 received a combined $276,000 in Medicaid funds, including four on the terrorist watchlist;
– 41 collected a combined $42,000 in Unemployment Insurance;
– 22 received a combined $280,000 in federal student loans;
– 409 received a net combined total of $751,000 in 2024 tax refunds; and
– several (final number TBD) received SNAP (food stamp) benefits.
More information is expected.
The Trump administration has terminated Obiden policies and is actively working to arrest and remove the most violent illegal foreign nationals, including KSTs.
The Center Square exclusively reported:
Under [The Obiden Regime] the greatest number of KSTs were apprehended in U.S. history—1,903.
According to CBP data:
 The majority, 64%, totaling 1,216, were apprehended at the northern border coming from Canada between fiscal years 2021-2024,
The Center Square reported:
A record 687 KSTs were reported at the southwest border over the same time period.
For years, The Center Square has reported on national security threats at the northern border as record numbers of illegal border crossers were reported there under The Regime. Because there historically have been far fewer Border Patrol agents in the field, less technological surveillance, and a lack of operational control at the northern border for decades, combined with what Republicans say were national security threats posed by Canadian policies under the Trudeau administration, among other factors, the number of KSTs who have illegally entered from Canada between ports of entry is unknown, border officials have told The Center Square. Unlike the southwest border, where agents in the field can track illegal entry and report gotaways, no comparable capability exists at the northern border, where one agent may be responsible for 500 miles.
