A significant increase in migrants from Tajikistan, a known ISIS recruitment hub, has been observed under President Joe Biden's administration. More than 1,500 Tajik migrants have crossed the U.S. border since October 2020, compared to just 26 in the previous 14 years. Recently, eight individuals with suspected ties to ISIS were apprehended at the southern border, vetted, and subsequently released into the United States. This has led to widespread criticism from GOP lawmakers, who are demanding answers from DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Concerns have been raised about the use of the CBP One mobile app, which reportedly facilitated the entry of these individuals. The FBI later found that the migrant men had possible ties to ISIS. Lawmakers, including Sen. Ted Budd, Sen. Chuck Grassley, and Senator Rounds, have sent letters to Mayorkas seeking explanations for these security breaches and the potential threats posed to national security. Additionally, the unsecured border and systemic failure in information-sharing have been highlighted as major issues.
