CBP Deletes Press Release About Arrest of Yemeni Border Crossers on Terror Watch List. Here's Their Excuse.

Customs and Border Protection has removed a press release detailing the arrest of two Yemeni men on the terror watch list who had illegally entered the U.S. through California.

As Katie reported on Monday, the first man, 33, was on both the terror watch list and no-fly list. “Agents found a cellular phone sim card hidden underneath the insole of his shoe,” the press release had stated.

The second man, 26, was arrested in March and was also on both lists.

"Part of the Border Patrol’s mission states we will protect the country from terrorists," Chief Patrol Agent Gregory K. Bovino had said in the press release. "Today, like every other day, our agents did that. These apprehensions at our border illustrates the importance of our mission and how we can never stop being vigilant in our everyday mission to protect this great country."

Sharing CBP’s initial tweet about the arrests, Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee blamed “President Biden’s reckless border security policies.”

Later, after the tweet was removed, they questioned the administration’s transparency.

In a statement explaining the reason for the press release's removal, CBP said it wasn't "properly reviewed and contained certain disclosure and policy information related to national security that required CBP to remove it from our website."
