Hold onto your hats, folks—because the former acting ICE Director Tom Homan is ringing alarm bells about a potential terror threat brewing due to what he describes as President Biden’s disastrous open border policies. In a recent Fox News interview, Homan didn’t mince words, warning that the unprecedented influx of illegal aliens into the United States has created a serious national security risk. “Something is coming,” he declared ominously, suggesting that an attack on American soil could be inevitable.
So, what’s got Homan so riled up? According to him, the southern U.S. border is like a sieve, with vast stretches left unmonitored by high-tech equipment like drones and sensors. This isn’t just bureaucratic red tape—it’s a real, tangible threat. Homan pointed out that there are already around 370 individuals on the terrorist watchlist who have crossed into the U.S. through the southern border. “We do not know how many thousands of people have crossed in areas where we cannot track them,” he said, stressing that the number of “gotaways” could be as high as 1.6 million.
Imagine that: potentially millions of individuals slipping through the cracks, some of whom could have nefarious intentions. Homan’s warning comes hot on the heels of several alarming incidents. Take the case of Mohammad Kharwin, for instance. This Afghan national, who entered the U.S. illegally, was later found to be a member of Hezb-e-Islami—a terrorist group responsible for the deaths of American soldiers in Afghanistan. Despite being flagged, he managed to roam freely within the U.S. for nearly a year before finally being apprehended. Shockingly, a judge released him again after he posted a $12,000 bond, leaving him free to move about with no restrictions.
But it gets worse. Just this past March, another terrorist, this time with al-Shabaab affiliations, was caught crossing the border and was inexplicably released into the country. Federal authorities identified him as a confirmed member of al-Shabaab, a group notorious for killing more U.S. citizens than any other al-Qaeda affiliate. He was eventually apprehended in Minnesota, but the initial release raises serious questions about the effectiveness of current border security measures.
These revelations add fuel to the fiery debate over immigration policies and border security. Critics argue that the administration’s approach is not only irresponsible but downright dangerous. “No one is going to convince me that a single person off the watchlist hasn’t entered this country and not been apprehended,” Homan asserted. His dire warning underscores the need for immediate action to tighten border controls and improve surveillance technologies.

Homan adds that that there could be just as many unknown gotaways.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. As Homan puts it, the threat is real and imminent. This isn’t just political posturing—it’s a wake-up call. The question now is, will policymakers heed these warnings and take swift action to secure the borders? Or will we continue to roll the dice with national security?
As we navigate these troubled waters, one thing is clear: the debate over border security is far from over. Stay tuned, because this story is developing faster than you can say “national emergency.”
