The Federal Government has not vetted any of them, and has no clue who they might or might not be.

It's only a matter of time I figure.

'A spokesperson for the DHS told Fox News the report contains inaccurate statements, lacks important context and is misleading about the DHS's efforts to verify the identity of noncitizens seeking entry into the U.S., and screening noncitizens who fly domestically.

"DHS rejects the [the Office of Inspector General's] core recommendations because they are premised on a fundamental misunderstanding of our policies and processes—which already incorporate numerous measures to minimize risk, identify those who pose a potential public safety or national security threat, and detain or refer to law enforcement those who do," the spokesperson said. "OIG’s report also does not reflect policy and procedural updates DHS implemented this year to improve security in accordance with TSA’s normal risk assessment process. This includes updated standard operating procedure at TSA checkpoints to ensure noncitizens without acceptable forms of identification undergo facial matching technology or be denied entry to secure areas of the airport.

"DHS continuously evaluates its procedures and processes to make adjustments, as needed, with the core goal of protecting public safety."

Gosh, Fox News has an article that contains inaccurate statements, lacks important context and is misleading? I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

Gosh, the Biden/Harris DHS denies the accuracy and conclusions of the Office of the Inspector General?? Who could have seen that coming? I am so shocked.

Looks like further investigation is required. Which won't happen. Headlines are good enough for most people. Read the first couple of lines, splutter with indignation, skip any and all information that is contrary to the intended reason for the article...then move on to the next one.

The Inspector General for DHS for the Biden/Harris administration complaints. The IG gathers information from DHS and interviews DHS officials in regard to complaints. DHS officials had their opportunity to present information to the IG, and now they disagree with the IG's conclusions. They have a right to do so, and the media, including FOX, has a responsibility, to report the findings of this administration's Inspector General. DHS officials will have the opportunity to defend themselves against the charges. Fox News is doing exactly what they and other media outlets should be doing.

I'll give Fox a tick for including the DHS comments. But honestly, how many people would have started swinging simply after having read the headline.

Do you have a source from your favorite news that talks about this: "Fed agencies released noncitizens without ID into US, allowed them to board domestic flights"

Yeah. Fox news. They reported what the actual position was according to the DHS. Except it was right at the end of the article. Maybe people just read the headline and didn't get that far.

That's not what I asked. I know your favorite news is not Fox from reading your criticisms of Fox on many threads. I want to read the liberal presentation.

I think it has been investigated because if you automatically think the news from Fox and vice versa is lies then you might be a low-information person like so many Americans are.

I think the inspector general mirrors the title of the article.

"Attached for your action is our final report, CBP, ICE, and TSA Did Not Fully Assess Risks
Associated with Releasing Noncitizens without Identification into the United States and Allowing
Them to Travel on Domestic Flights – Sensitive Security Information. We incorporated the formal
comments provided by your office.
The report contains three recommendations aimed at improving CBP’s, ICE’s, and TSA’s ability to
assess risks to public safety of noncitizens released into the United States without identification
and boarding domestic flights".

All I needed was the quote. Which was given at the end of the Fox article. I'm happy with that. If you have extra information then post it.

We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us
