Congressman Morgan Luttrell (R-TX) has cosponsored Congressman Nick Langworthy’s (R-NY) Safeguarding Americans from Extreme Risk (SAFER) at the Border Act. This legislation aims to prohibit the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from paroling migrants who are designated as Known and Suspected Terrorists (KST) or Special Interest Aliens (SIA).
“The SAFER at the Border Act is a vital step toward restoring law and order at our southern border,” said Congressman Luttrell. “Texans are on the front lines of this border crisis and this legislation prioritizes the safety of American families by strengthening border enforcement, enhancing resources for our agents, and holding the Biden administration accountable for its failed policies. I proudly support this bill and urge my colleagues to do the same for the safety of our great state and nation.”
The Biden Administration has allowed more than 1 million illegal immigrants, some of whom were later arrested for potential ties to terrorist organizations, to be paroled into the country. In Fiscal Year 2024 alone, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have encountered 359 individuals at or in between Ports of Entry who are known or suspected terrorists—and those are just the ones identified.
The SAFER at the Border Act is supported by Heritage Action, Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), America First Policy Institute, Immigration Accountability Project, and NumbersUSA.
