Sen. Tuberville Warns of Potential 9/11-Style Attacks Due to Biden's Border Policies

Despite the Increase in People on the Watch List, Government Officials Claim the Number of Suspects Trying to Cross the Border Remains Low

Sen. Tommy Tuberville warns of potential 9/11-style attacks due to President Biden's border policies, citing a report that 160 people on the FBI’s terror watch list were apprehended at the southern border last year.
Tuberville suggests that the Biden administration should have taken action to secure the southern border following Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel on Oct. 7.
The number of people on the watch list trying to enter the U.S. through the northern and southern borders has increased since President Biden took office.
Despite the increase, government officials claim the number of suspects on the terror watch list trying to cross the border remains low, representing significantly less than 0.01% of total encounters per fiscal year in recent years.
Tuberville faces bipartisan criticism over his block on hundreds of military nominations, which lawmakers and officials say is negatively affecting the military's readiness.
