The Obama administration appears to have a terrorist “hands off” list
that permits individuals with extremist ties to enter the country,
according to internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) documents
obtained by a United States Senator.
It’s unimaginable that any government would do this, but it seems
like the Obama administration is constantly breaking new ground. The
disturbing details of this secret initiative were made public this week
by Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, who has obtained DHS electronic mail
discussing what could be a terrorist “hands off” list. The exchange
includes a 2012 email chain between U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) asking
whether to admit an individual with ties to various terrorist groups.
The individual had scheduled an upcoming flight into the U.S., according
to an
announcement issued by the senator.
The person was believed to be a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and a
close associate and supporter Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Palestinian
Islamic Jihad, according to the mail exchange obtained by Grassley’s
office. The terrorist suspect had also been in secondary inspection
“several dozen times of the past several years,” the agency emails
reveal, but had not undergone a secondary inspection since 2010. This
seems to imply that the suspect has been on the U.S. government’s radar
for some time.
