An Afghan migrant, who was on the terror watchlist and twice released into the U.S. by Border Patrol, was detained nearly a year after his initial release. This case, known as the Kharwin case, underscores the inevitable harms and potential security risks associated with the current immigration system. Critics, including sources from @CIS_org, argue that the administration is not effectively utilizing immigration detention, a tool provided by Congress to prevent terrorist entries into the U.S. The individual was eventually apprehended by ICE, highlighting concerns over the thousands of individuals who evade capture by CBP each week.
