Terror watch lists arrests have exploded at the border under Biden
Fox News
Apprehensions of individuals on the U.S. terror watchlist have skyrocketed at the U.S. border since President Biden took office as groups see an opportunity in the chaos.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data says there were some 36,000 border encounters in February 2020, Biden's first full month in office. Biden's most recent full month in office, December 2022, says 251,000 border encounters. Anders Hagstrom is a reporter with Fox News Digital covering national politics and major breaking news events.

Those statistics don't tell the full story either, as the CBP has also tracked roughly 1.2 million known "gotaways" since Biden entered office. The CBP defines "gotaways" as migrants border officials could detect but not apprehend.
