Homeland Security must reveal the full extent of terrorism risks at the southern border and explain why it deleted a press statement that exposed at least two terror-related arrests, Rep. Andy Biggs said in a new letter Wednesday.

Mr. Biggs, who was traveling in Texas for a first-hand look at the border Wednesday, said he wants to know how many migrants on terrorism watch lists have been nabbed since Inauguration Day, and how many were caught in the years before.

Both sides settled into a tense multi-day standoff during which the migrants negotiated safe passage aboard trucks.
But many of these border crossers were not the Mexicans and Central Americans familiar to Americans. They were from African nations such as the Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, and Senegal, as well as Haiti and nations such as Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, which are of terrorism concern in the United States.
