The Biden administration's Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has refused to release data on the nationalities of individuals on the terror watchlist arrested by Border Patrol. This decision follows a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed over six months ago. CBP cited privacy and law enforcement sensitivity exemptions as reasons for withholding the information, stating that the privacy interests of the suspects outweigh minimal public interest. The decision has sparked criticism, with some questioning why the Biden DHS is not disclosing the nationalities of those on the terror watchlist, especially amid rising concerns about illegal immigration, which has exploded on his watch, according to Fox News.
