An illegal immigrant from Afghanistan on the FBI's terror watchlist was caught crossing the border in California, an official said.
San Diego County official Jim Desmond said an Afghan was taken into custody by federal law enforcement agents near the California coast."This apprehension occurred after the individual crossed the border alongside a group of migrants near Otay Mesa, CA," said Desmond, the county supervisor for the fifth district, in a statement issued Sunday.
Rep. Darrell Issa , whose district encompasses a large portion of the state's border with Mexico, confirmed the incident to the Washington Examiner on Monday. “From day one, Biden tore up international agreements that were working, tied the hands of front-line law enforcement, and sent a message to the world that America’s border was open and our system of asylum would not be enforced," Issa said in a statement.
"The FBI has no comment on your specific inquiry. We are vigilant in our efforts to detect and assess possible threats and we work closely with our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to keep our communities safe," the Justice Department agency said in a statement.
