In this explosive Congressional testimony, Ammon Blair — a former Border Patrol agent — reveals how agents were ordered under prosecutorial discretion to look the other way, resulting in the release of dangerous individuals, including some later identified as known terrorists.
Blair details how illegal aliens from Iran entered the U.S. using falsified Venezuelan documents to avoid detection — and how Border Patrol lacked the tools to vet them. He references a FOIA request by Representative Gonzales that uncovered a non-disclosed docket of over 600,000 criminal illegal aliens released by Border Patrol and ICE during that period.
Most alarming? Blair confirms the security threats created during that era are still active today — with ICE now forced to conduct city-by-city operations using bad information to track down individuals who pose a threat to American communities.
This is what happens when politics overrides national security. 👇 Watch the full testimony.
