Fox News<\/a> reports that Representative Duncan Hunter found evidence that a Taliban operative was captured by Border Patrol agents in Arizona last year along with five Pakistanis and two Mexican smugglers after they crawled under the border fence from Mexico. He told officers that he had traveled to Brazil, then to Peru and then up the Central American isthmus. He was stopped once in Panama and then released when his identity didn’t pop hot on any computers.<\/p>\n

According to a letter sent Wednesday from Hunter to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, all six were initially served with an \u201cExpedited Removal.\u201d The Afghan national \u201csought U.S. immigration benefits, and was processed as having credible fear after he stated his life was in danger,\u201d Hunter wrote.<\/p>\n

However, according to the letter, the individual was in fact identified in a separate database, the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment (TIDE), as having terror ties.<\/p>\n

Hunter wrote that the individual was said to be \u201cinvolved in a plot to conduct an attack in the U.S. and\/or Canada and has family ties to members of the Taliban.\u201d<\/p>\n

For an unknown reason, the individual was not initially watch-listed in the separate Terrorist Screening Database, according to the letter \u2013 and so these associations were not initially noticed. <\/p>\n

Officials apparently noticed the error in time, as the individual remains in U.S. custody in Arizona.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hunter says that the location of other seven guys who were caught with him is unknown. So that’s reassuring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
