Retired Chief Border Patrol Agent Aaron Heitke testifies that Biden/Harris administration told him to lie about SIA’s (Special Interest Aliens) and “Known and Suspected Terrorists” at the border and to release them while hiding the data on those encounters.
Heitke is testifying Wednesday before the House Homeland Security Committee over Biden-Harris administration policies that have resulted in over 8,200,000 migrant encounters at the southwest border from Feb. 2021–July 2024.
During his time in the San Diego sector, Heitke explained that he witnessed a staggering increase of migrants.
"In the last two years that I was in San Diego, San Diego averaged over the history of the sector – averaged 10 to 15 significant interest alien arrests per year," he said.
"In 2022, that jumped to well over 100. And in 2023, it was closer to 200. The numbers continue to skyrocket and that's just what we got."
Heitke added that in 2022 and 2023 there were "entire sectors" along the border across Arizona, Texas and California that at times had "no agent presence at all."
"We have no idea who and what came into our country over that time frame," he warned.
Heitke also shed light on the "struggle" to return migrants to their home countries.
"Many people don't realize that we have to have an agreement with each sending country to send their citizens back," Heitke said. "Those agreements were allowed to lapse… with the steady decrease in detention here, it comes down to release, and we end up just releasing those folks into the United States, which rather than deter them from coming, it encourages them to come."
As a result, Heitke said during his time in San Diego, he encountered individuals "from many different criminal organizations and terrorist organizations."
And he stressed that with fewer agents at the border, these individuals are able to cross into the U.S. and freely engage in dangerous activities ranging from fundraising for terrorism or cartels, narcotics, or human trafficking.
