i reached out to dhs and ice to ask about this five days ago, last thursday. they never got back to me. i asked them over a span of several days. they finally responded to me yesterday and referred me to the f.b.i. who i was told is handling this case. i reached out to the f.b.i. they told me they declined to comment. about 15 minutes ago i just got a call from a dhs official on background telling me that my requests had just been relayed to him late last night and he has some new information for me which is that further vetting on their end revealed that this man is not a match on the terror watch list. that's the latest information i just got from this dhs official about 15 minutes ago. that is the latest i've got for you guys right now. as you mentioned, however, since the fiscal year started on october 1st there have been 38 terror watch list arrests at the southern border. as for this iranian man right now the latest information i just got from dhs is they have decided he is not a conclusive match on the watch list. >> harris: it took some time and those

over the next fiscal year dhs plans to offer services to an additional 500 children on the list. the first time in a decade. [applause] it will provide these children and their families access to needed services and support while decreasing the states wait lists for services. one of the most difficult challenges we face right now in the field of social and mental health services are the critical worker shortages that we are seeing across the country. let me be clear there is no bigger challenge in this arena than the workforce and we are competing with 49 other states to try to attract people to these jobs here in illinois. providing more competitive wages to develop and support our workforce is an absolute necessity. for the last several years i've directed state funds toward supporting wage increases for private-sector provider partners including those who work with the department of children and family services. that continues in this budget proposal and an additional $120 million in fy24 budget for the department of human services all hosts us to continue rate increases to ma

dhs can follow the case. there are so many ways to determine whether or not someone is released from county jail that they are completely aware of what is going on in both cases. in the 2019 case the individual ended up pleading guilty to kidnapping with intent to commit sex offense. two years and now a 290-had to register as sex offender. because of megan law there is a address on file and again dhs doesn't need the city to inform of anything because the information is already there. at least now this person has committed a criminal record and this is a 2019 and sex register so this is the person who was accused of raping woman in in uber so the person was brought to justice and trial and this person has a record so tries to get hired we know this is a person we should protect individuals from which is what public safety is all about. i don't understand where they are coming from and why they make us jump through hoops and trying to do this when it is absolutely not legally necessary. ment i am not going to

and dhs would not allow them to testify. it will be interesting to see if they subpoena those other three witnesses. but what we can expect is dhs is going to monitor every single thing that they say. they're going to overlook the written testimony that these individuals submit. they're going to have to approve those written testimonies. i don't think there will be a lot that will come out of that. you'll hear a lot from the democrat witnesses that are going to say we are enforcing the laws, while that is true, every person that i take in custody, i'm processing them. what they're failing to tell everybody is that we release them after we process them for deportation and never show up to the court. they are never deported. what we have to do is look at the eye stats. we have to dig into that and find out how many people that are processed for deportation actually leave the country. you'll be surprised that it's only about 6%. that is going back ten years from now. ten years back. >> neil: wow. brandon, thanks very much. bran

dhs didn't put out a bulletin. dhs didn't even put out a warning. and think about it. dhs is formed after 911, you know, to connect the dots to make sure we never miss a threat to our to our national security like we did in 911. and here we are. you know, there was lessons learned in 911 that apply to january six. and my concern is there's going be lessons learned on january six that can apply sometime in the future if we don't learn a lesson. that's what i feel. i feel it was watered down and whether it was purposely watered down. so the president wouldn't say, hey, this is going to be bad, i'm going to go ahead and implement martial law. i don't know. i can only suspect, you know, these people had to be seen, you know, all the all the red alarms going off everywhere. why they didn't put in paper, i don't know. yeah. in retrospect, it looks so clear when you look at all the evidence, all the messages and threats and all these message boards and warnings that were going out and the fact that it appears people missed it, but you say you didn't miss it, that you were alr

we believe dhs plays a vital -- >> those are talking points.e are cutting the number in half, it would hurt yes or no? >> i believe it what it. effectively what's happened under the biden administration because right now today, more than half of the cbp agents are engaged in housekeeping and chauffeurs and babysitting of the 5.5 million illegal aliens who crossed the border. they are not on the border. they are not at the ports of entry. they are instead processing the highest rate of illegal immigration in history. now, democrat members of congress have the remarkable claim that the open borders under joe biden has no impact on the record fentanyl and drugs flowing across the borders. between october, 2021 and september, 2022, one a cbp source estimated there were 364,000 got a ways, people that ran away at the southern border. another border patrol official put the number and 1.2 million. got a ways can vary from terrorists on the terror watch list in fiscal year 2022. ninety-eight people on the list were in the southern border that we know o

i thought that the relationship between the security agencies like the fbi and dhs and companies likel. like, i thought maybe they had kind of an advisory role, it is not that it is formalized with a really intense structure that they have worked out over a period of years they have regular meetings, they have a system where the dhs handles you know, censor hip censorship requests from the states and fbi handled the international ones they bloat the company its say big bureaucracy. elizabeth: a big bureaucracy. >> final word, this is america. the land of the free, we better get our act together and fight hard for it before we lose it. elizabeth: what he says, we want to dig into a little bit. matt taibbrbbi went in thinking it was informal but he said it across spectrum of government agents, homeland security, fbi, cia, and more saying to change the . next. >> it is much deeper. we lost freedom over 'trae t'trae turner is what really went on with covid, i will be honest, i have never seen a time, where i feel that i am less informed and i am a congressman that pushes and digs of what

fbi and dhs are the main federal agencies that are going to protect the homeland and investigate and disrupt that kind of threat here in the u.s.. where we come into play at nt cc cc -- nctc is understanding for nexus with any threat and whether it's motivated by another ideology. i would say i would characterize among the violent extremist threats we have in the country the one that presents the most evidence of a foreign nexus is the racially and ethnically motivated violent extremists. some of it is about on line collectives and are transnational and nature and some of it is individuals who are inspired by acts in the u.s. and attacks in their home countries. you look at something like the price -- christchurch attack motivated by international violent extremist it is this truly transnational problem that we as an international community and professionals need to convene on and engage in and understand what's happening in our individual domestic environment to be able to learn from each other whether it's european counterparts in we are seeing aspects of it in south america. it's

the report at dhs was correct. we have given control of the border figuratively speaking to the cartel to deflect. now they are taking loopholes in what is supposed to be good commerce between -- good relations with our north american partners to travel freely. now they found the loophole and making money off it and putting people in harm's way. putting our citizens in harm's way when bad people get across. >> bill: thank you for your time and thank you for your contribution to this. you did the best you could. now retired, chris clem after 27 1/2 years in border patrol. >> dana: good to have your expertise. >> bill: there is going to be a hearing in yuma this week and in yuma city at the town hall there. a few democrats will be there, which will be. >> dana: i thought last week they said they weren't going. >> bill: based on my understanding there is a good chance a few democrats could be with republicans in the hearing. i hope that's the case. if it is we'll try to get them on our air, too. then there is this. th
