In another devastating blow to the Biden-Harris administration’s open border policy, a former top official has blown the whistle on a high-level cover-up of terrorists entering the country.
The allegations were made by Aaron Heitke, the former Chief Patrol Agent (CPA) for the San Diego Sector.
Heitke, who also previously served as the CPA for the Grand Forks Sector, revealed that he was ordered to keep the number of terrorists caught crossing the border hidden from the American people.
As he dropped the explosive evidence against the Biden-Harris admin, Heitke said he was ordered to hide the increase in illegal aliens with ties to terrorism crossing the border.
During testimony to the Homeland Security Committee, Heitke explained:
“The only true consequence we have to slow down and discourage people from coming into the United States illegally is sending them back to their country of origin.
“Throughout the first three-plus years of the administration I saw a steady decrease in the countries we can send people back to.
“For the first time in my 25 years and under five different administrations whether through neglect or on purpose, I saw a large-scale lapse in our ability to return people to the country of origin.
“The inability to send people home meant that most people being arrested for illegal entry would either have to be detained or released.”
“The current [Biden-Harris] administration, however, from day one, made a point of decreasing the amount of detention space available nationwide,” he continued.
“Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s funding for detention has steadily been cut and private detention eliminated.
“The fact that so many illegal aliens are being released into the United States has spread worldwide very quickly.
“As this happened, the numbers Border Patrol encountered illegally crossing the border increased exponentially.”
“The impact to me and my agents were significant,” Heitke added.
“Sectors were ordered to take in and process all illegal aliens encountered on the border.
“The Border Patrol saw groups of hundreds and thousands coming into the United States and turning themselves in.
“These numbers pulled 80, 90, sometimes 100% of the agents on duty away from the border.
“Border Patrol zones across Texas, Arizona, and California had no agent presence for weeks and months at a time.
“Those who did not want to be caught could simply walk in.
“We have no idea who and what entered our country over this time.”
Heitke then revealed that border officials were overwhelmed by the number of illegals crossing the border.
“Throughout 2022 and ’23 I sent agents to Texas and Arizona to count gotaways,” he recalled.
“Those sectors could not even put enough agents in the field to see what they had missed.”
He continued by blowing the whistle on the alarming directive from the Biden-Harris administration:
“Simultaneously in San Diego, we had an exponential increase in significant interest aliens.
“These are aliens with significant ties to terrorism.
“Prior to this administration, the San Diego sector averaged 10 to 15 SIA arrests per year.
“Once word was out the border was far easier to cross San Diego went to over 100 SIAs in 2022 well over that in 2023, and even more than that registered this year.
“These are only the ones we caught.
“At the time I was told I could not release any information on this increase in SIAs or mention any of the arrests.
“The [Biden-Harris] administration was trying to convince the public there was no threat at the border.”
