WATCH: Biden regime let 18,000 known or suspected terrorists come to U.S.

Federal officials have revealed that a stunning 18,000 known or suspected terrorists were allowed to come to the United States, and stay here, during the time the regime of Joe Biden was in the Oval Office.

It was Joe Kent, National Counterterrorism Center director, who confirmed that in recent testimony.

Normally, he said, they never would be allowed into the country because of their connections to ISIS and al-Qaida jihadis.

“The warning signs were there.”

During an interview, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard confirmed the number was nothing less than shocking.

“We are very focused on making sure the American people are safe and protected,” Gabbard said. “President Trump is focused on this He recognized how devastating and dangerous Biden’s open border policies were.”

RAIR Foundation officials explained that Gabbard confirmed some 2,000 of those individuals were “Afghan migrants admitted after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, with whistleblowers alleging they were pressured to rush or bypass standard screening procedures.”

Even ex-FBI Director Christopher Wray had warned Congress about terrorist-linked smuggling networks exploiting the southern border.

Gabbard said, “These are not abstract risks. The warning signs were there every step of the way.”
