DHS Report Criticizes Border Agencies for Allowing Migrants Without ID

The Inspector General's report highlights security risks as noncitizens without identification are permitted to enter the U.S. and board domestic flights.

  • The Department of Homeland Security's Inspector General found that migrants without proper identification are being allowed into the U.S., raising national security concerns.
  • Federal agencies like CBP, ICE, and TSA have been criticized for not adequately assessing the risks associated with releasing noncitizens without ID.
  • The report reveals that at least 13% of migrants processed lacked identification, making it difficult to verify their identities and backgrounds.
  • DHS agencies have reportedly used self-reported information from migrants to issue documentation, which is insufficient for ensuring security.
  • Despite recommendations for reform, DHS has not fully implemented measures to address the vulnerabilities identified in the report.
