Biden administration Secretly flew 320,000 “unacceptable” illegal immigrants Todd Bensman, a senior national security researcher at the nonprofit think tank, said he entered the U.S. last year, according to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the Center for Immigration Studies. report Monday.
The lawsuit reveals that Customs and Border Protection approved flights that brought hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to 43 airports in the United States from January to December 2023. All of these individuals had been pre-approved through CBP’s mobile phone app, CBP One.
Citizens of Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia, and Ecuador are eligible to apply for travel authorization through the mobile app from their home countries. As part of that effort, the Biden administration has rolled out the CBP One app. “Legal route” strategyreportedly designed to reduce the number of immigrants crossing the southern border illegally.
Migrants who apply for travel authorization and humanitarian parole through the administration’s app will then be airlifted to the United States to participate in a parole program that will make them eligible for legal status and work authorization for two years.
According to Bensman’s report, the administration initially refused to release the number of 43 U.S. airports that accepted illegal immigrants, citing “law enforcement exceptions.” But the CIS lawsuit reveals that the federal government is withholding information for fear of exposing “vulnerabilities” posed by the program.
“The Biden administration’s legally dubious plan to transport inadmissible aliens directly across the border to U.S. airports will prevent ‘bad actors’ from using it to harm public safety.” , law enforcement vulnerabilities are considered too severe to be publicly disclosed,” the nonprofit said. said.
A CBP attorney told CIS that “if disclosed, [it] This reveals information about the relative number of individuals arriving, and the resources spent at a particular airport, alone or in combination with other information, can lead to malicious intent to change behavioral patterns or adopt new techniques. It reveals operational vulnerabilities that can be exploited by someone. By halting operations and taking other countermeasures, it would undermine CBP’s law enforcement efforts to secure U.S. borders. ”
CIS rejected the government’s reasoning for refusing to release the information, noting that “criminals already have access to airport traffic through CBP’s proprietary information.”Traveler and transportation statistics Website. ‘”
According to CBP’s website, 2.3 million people used Boston Airport in fiscal year 2022, compared to 3.3 million in 2023. Chicago also went from 6.3 million to 7.9 million over the same period. In 2022, 17.7 million people used New York City’s airports, while in 2023, it was 22.9 million.
CIS says many Democratic city leaders blame the increase in migrant arrivals on Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who has bused illegal immigrants from the southern border to “sanctuary” cities across the country. He pointed out that he is leading efforts to make this happen. The influx of immigrants into blue cities is far more likely to be due to the Biden administration’s programs.
Neither the Department of Homeland Security nor Customs and Border Protection responded to requests for comment from CIS.

Elon Musk responded to the CIS report, calling the government’s efforts to import illegal immigrants “treason.”
