The Center Square—The Biden administration not only released a record number of known or suspected terrorists into the U.S. but also gave them Social Security numbers and taxpayer-funded welfare benefits, according to a new analysis by the Department of Government Efficiency.
DOGE posted its latest findings of alleged government waste, fraud, and abuse, fully funded by Congress, in a post on X.
“Under the Biden administration, it was routine for Border Patrol to admit aliens into the United States with no legal status and minimal screening,” DOGE said. It’s referring to the more than 14 million illegal border crossers reported under the Biden administration, including more than 2 million who evaded detection, The Center Square first reported.
They include millions flown to the U.S. on international flights paid for by taxpayers through parole programs created by the administration that judges ruled were illegal in lawsuits filed by states. Among them are more than 1 million from Venezuela, including members of the violent terrorist organization Tren de Aragua, who, under the Biden administration, had expanded into at least 22 states where crimes were reported, The Center Square exclusively reported.
Under the Biden administration, Border Patrol and U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers released inadmissible illegal foreign nationals into the U.S. instead of processing them for removal. Among them were “a subset of 6.3k individuals paroled into the United States since 2023 on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center watchlist or with criminal records,” DOGE said.
It’s referring to the Terrorist Screening Dataset, the federal government’s database that contains sensitive information on terrorist identities. The database originated as a consolidated terrorist watchlist to hold information on known or suspected terrorists. Over the past decade, it evolved “to include additional individuals who represent a potential threat to the United States, including known affiliates of watchlisted individuals,” U.S. Customs and Border Protection has explained.
Under the Trump administration, “These paroles have since been terminated with immediate effect,” DOGE said, referring to more than a dozen parole programs House Republicans identified as illegal.
“Despite having no other legal status, paroled aliens” under the Biden administration were given work authorization and received Social Security numbers. Of the 6,300 paroled illegal foreign nationals with criminal or terrorist records, all given Social Security numbers, many received federal welfare benefits, DOGE said.
Of them, 905 received a combined $276,000 in Medicaid funds, including four on the terrorist watchlist; 41 collected a combined $42,000 in Unemployment Insurance; 22 received a combined $280,000 in federal student loans; 409 received a net combined total of $751,000 in 2024 tax refunds; “several (final number TBD) received SNAP (food stamp) benefits,” DOGE said. More information is expected.
The Trump administration has terminated Biden policies and is actively working to arrest and remove the most violent illegal foreign nationals, including known and suspected terrorists.
Under the Biden administration, the greatest number of known and suspected terrorists were apprehended in U.S. history of 1,903, The Center Square exclusively reported. The majority, 64%, totaling 1,216, were apprehended at the northern border coming from Canada between fiscal years 2021-2024, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.
A record 687 number were reported at the southwest border over the same time period, The Center Square reported.
For years, The Center Square has reported on national security threats at the northern border as record numbers of illegal border crossers were reported there under the Biden administration.
Because there historically have been far fewer Border Patrol agents in the field, less technological surveillance, and a lack of operational control at the northern border for decades, combined with what Republicans say were national security threats posed by Canadian policies under the Trudeau administration, among other factors, the number of known and suspected terrorists who’ve illegally entered from Canada between ports of entry is unknown, border officials have told The Center Square. Unlike the southwest border, where agents in the field can track illegal entry and report “gotaways,” no comparable capability exists at the northern border, where one agent may be responsible for 500 miles.
Islamic terrorist incidents also increased under the Biden administration, according to several reports, as a majority of Americans polled say terrorism dangers increased under former President Joe Biden’s watch, The Center Square reported.

So why have there not been arrests or lawsuits against the Biden administration for what appears to be treasonous actions? We know this, but obviously too many Americans are either not aware or do not believe these actions happened. I blame the Legacy Media. They have blood on their hands, but do not appear to have a conscience. Only if one or more of them suffers the consequences (murder, rape, burglary at the hands of one of these illegal aliens) and is willing to risk the wrath of their compatriots who are true believers in Leftist Propaganda, will this ever stop.
This alone should be a reason to charge the last administration for Treason. Knowingly letting enemy combatants into this country.
It’s sad when we are not surprised by this treason. The dems knew that Biden was unfit and would never be held accountable for his illegal actions. “WHOEVER” was actually using the autopen and making this corrupt and illegal policy should be charged with treason and shot before a firing squad. Seriously. I recently watched an interview with Lindy Li, a former Biden (democrat) insider and huge fundraiser for the dems, and she stated that Biden was NOT actually POTUS. She said it was a POTUS by committee, with several people having input and actually making decisions. She said that Jill Biden was involved and that when Joe had covid, the druggie and criminal, Hunter Biden, actually sat in on staff meetings.?.? Think about that. Obviously, some, or all of them hate America and were trying to destroy it, while others may have just been on the Soros (or someone else’s) gravy train. Utterly disgusting. What is the FBI or DOJ going to do about it? The criminals in Biden’s administration need to be put in prison and/or face the firing squad. Treason is a most serious offense.
Just what do you have to do, to be charged with TREASON?
Massachusetts Governor, Democrat Presidential candidate Michael Dukakis gave social security numbers to illegals when he was Governor.
America dodged a bullet when he lost to George H.W. Bush.
Giving Social Security numbers and financial aid to illegals appears to be an acceptable practice among Democrats.
Joe Biden should be charged with treason, robbery of the government, cheating the government, highway robbery of the U.S.taxpayers, fraud for giving terrorists SOCIAL SECURITY numbers so they can COLLECT money from our SS system that they never paid into…that is called STEALING & aiding & Abetting! That is the money belonging to the CITIZENS of this country who WORKED for it. According to the socialist FDR when he set the program up, it was to be used for the senior citizens when they retire…..PERIOD!!! Not to be used to give to the TERRORISTS who Biden brought into our country or Congress as an ATM!! That old man has some serious explaining to do and needs to spend time in jail, not sleeping on the beach off the home that we taxpayers paid for!! Democrats call Nixon a crook!?!??! HA!!
Why is anybody surprised? It’s a well-known fact that if it’s immoral, illegal, or against the best interests of this country, the Democrat party’s not only doing it, they will back it and the corrupt media will support them. As a standard practice in your life just look to see if the Democrat party supports it if the Democrat party supports it it’s a bad idea run the other way
As long as the criminals get away with the crime and it is a treason, not an ordinary theft, it’s rather pointless to rub our noses in it, we all know it happened , there needs to be some judicial process possible to deal with this type of criminal. They all were charmed by China and could not get enough business with them, why not implement justice politburo style. A nice long stay in reeducation camp would do.
I suppose he’ll just walk away like the rest of the stinking corrupt Democrats do. We are sick and tired of these people not being held accountable for what they do.
The left ferried an army of criminals into this country, to do what? Create a war between the left and the right? Kill Trump. Kill Elon? The dems were sure Harris would win in November. All this shows the people were right by voting in Trump. Only their work is not done, too many repeat the dems rhetoric word for word. I hear from the left checks and balances are needed. As long as things are checked and found to be correct all is well with the dems. Only the reps are not allowed any checks and balances. The left takes them to court. This country is run by weaponized judges. Trashing Teslas and destroying Tesla dealerships is encouraged by the left. Are they hurting Elon? Emotionally but not financially. The individual whose car is damaged is hurting. They committed a crime? All they did was buy an E vehicle, what Biden mandated to buy electric cars. Teslas were the best. I know democrats who bought a Tesla and now their own are destroying them. I have said it so often the world is upside down but like Vance said if anything is going to happen it will come from within the country. Not only In America but in Europe and beyond. We are dangerously on the edge of a civil war, here and everywhere.
Not really a “shocker!” Biden and the DIMMs want as many non-citizens as possible in the country so they can use them [knowingly or unknowingly] as voters! They have ZERO issues and ZERO competence so how can they win? Import illegals!
Will ANYONE involved in these treasonous illegal invader acts EVER be prosecuted? Obiden was incompetent, but his “handlers” were not. Likewise, his cabinet members and various government bureaucrats knew what was going on. This “invasion” has caused significant harm to this country and its citizens, so the people who allowed this to occur need to be severely punished! Allowing this sort of thing to go on unpunished will only encourage MORE acts like this!
I live 100 miles North of the border in a tiny unincorporated desert town. We have literally no social services, no shelters and not much of a food bank. Our small Walmart is full of non-English speaking people who can pile their carts to overflowing while us locals (a lot of seniors) carefully pick out what we can afford and what we need to put back before checking out.
My husband and I both worked over 40 years to get SSA and Medicare. Giving either to illegal migrants makes me a little bit nutty. And mad. Really mad.
Wasn’t the goal for his Marxist Admin, to destroy America by destroying our core values and the basic fabric of our society, and by flooding America with millions of undocumented people and bankrupting the country/
When will this stop and when will the enemies within the Democratic Party going to answer for what they have done!
Biden and all his cronies should be in GITMO for the rest of their lives. Why he/they are still running around free is beyond me.
So why isn’t Joe Biden & his Administration behind bars, prosecuted for misuse of funds, funding domestic terrorism, conspiracy to commit murder within his own Country; in other words TREASON!????????????????????
Why is there No Punishment for Treason in the USA?
I have a new name for Biden: Commander and Thief. Robbed taxpayer money, robbed us of our safety with the border crossings. Also robbed us of feeling safe by using government agencies against us and pushed policies to violate any morals this country has held onto.
Not only did crooked joe and kackels allow an invasion of our country by illegals they funded them with OUR taxpayer money and benefits?? WHERE is the investigations, arrests, trials, convictions?? Dementia joe sure got his illegal lawfare going before Trump was even elected. “Despite having no other legal status, paroled aliens” under the Biden administration were given work authorization and received Social Security numbers. Of the 6,300 paroled illegal foreign nationals with criminal or terrorist records, all given Social Security numbers, many received federal welfare benefits, DOGE said. I wish the illegals would ALL go home with a democrat under each arm, right??
Oh boy, Bumbling Biden sure got us into a mess! Just remember, Kamala Harris was in the room every time any discussions and decisions were being made. She even stated that she would not change a thing that the Biden Administration was doing. Unfortunately DOGE can only find the “problems” and report. The DOJ has to prosecute, and we all know how long that takes!
ALL done for the Cartels
Why wasn’t the US Constitution implemented against anyone in the Biden Administration for the simple act of many treasonous acts invoked by many in that administration, As it was against President Nixon during the Watergate fiasco? There are many qualifiers for treason during the Biden Fake Administration. And the penalty for treason as it is spelled out in our Constitution is Death. Yet there are too many gutless Criminals in our present Government to consider using the Constitution because it may hurt someone’s feelings.
How long will it take for the Democrats to bury this. No one watching mainstream media will EVER hear about this, or they’ll be told NOT to believe it! How are there ANY registered Democrats left in the country?
I really hope no one is shocked to hear this since we just got rid of the most corrupt, criminal, treasonous administration in this nation’s history.
isn’t possible to hate biden more
Biden’s and his entire corrupt and treasonous, America-hating administration should be tried for treason and serve LIFE at Gitmo.
What in the world could this have happened? How could ANY of this stuff have gotten by those who should have known about it. There had to be SOMEBODY! I totally know about the “fake news media” but NOBODY else said a word. I find that excusable and unacceptable!!! I firmly believe that Biden was not our president but in my opinion there was NOT ONE whistle blower. Something smells like Rotten Fish.
There was a time when this was high treason, but we’re a post constitutional country with a multi tiered justice system enforced by govt police at all levels so there’s that…
I don’t care about targeting the previous administration, the Biden Administration are TRAITORS!!! and need to be charged as such. Biden an all his staff need to be brought up on charges of sedition. They only wanted power and did not give a DAMN about how they went about to get it. They did nothing but try and destroy this country and would be willing to burn it to the ground just so they could rule over the ashes!!
Trump and the DOJ should send in the US Marshals to arrest him and all of his staff and while they are at it go by and pick up the activist judges and get them off the benches. The Democrats are going to do the same thing they did in Trumps last term, tie him up in court for every decisions he makes, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! The American People have Trumps back.
I would love to know when someone is going to have the guts, being it be the Republicans or Conservative Media to come out publicly and say that Obama was running the Biden-Harris comedy show and it was Obama that did everything the last 4 years? How could someone that could barely talk, couldn’t read a sentence from paper or a Teleprompter, couldn’t walk a flat surface or up and down steps without stumbling and falling possibly do everything that went on these past last 4 years, himself? We already know everything illegal and corrupt they did Obama’s 8 years and these past 4 years, so all the proof is already known and has been presented so let the prosecutions begin and the trials should be short and sweet based on all of the evidence presented. No more waiting.
really sad,this country can,t stand any more rule by DEMS
There needs to be an in depth investigation into this. Biden may have given the order, but who was behind it. I could probably throw out some of the names but we all know who the puppet masters were. This is an unconscionable attempt to bring down the Government of the United States.
There is one address in Wallowa County who has acres and acres of good land (WITH FRESH WATER) who would love some “new” neighbors
Apart from future votes, what possible reason could the Democrats have for allowing and encouraging this “invasion”? Do they really want the fall of America? Why? It is heartbreaking to see how many of them are trying to destroy our country, but what is the reason?
One good thing about this, it should be a lot easier to track these 6300 criminals down by using their SS number & where they live and work.
Am I the only one who is disgusted with these reports which can be proven in a court of law, but NOTHING happens to those involved. How is this NOT treason?
And as of today, Demon Rats are organizing a group of elected Congressmen to fly to El Salvador to get a criminal returned to the USA! THEY should be arrested for aiding and betting a criminal action!
STOP THIS INSANITY!
Beijing Biden, trying to make America Third Rate Again!
I personally a couple hundred “Americans” who would love to have these folks as neighbors in their cul de sacs I would be happy to provide addresses if asked ….
Seems each day we hear of more corruption and hating America that went on in Biden’s regime. (or whomever was acting as our leader) He and O’Bama also made it very tough for President Trump to “right their wrongs”. We need to get a clear, definitive word from our Supreme Court to totally negate the attempts of these Democrat-appointed district judges. It is absurd to think that they can deter the President from upholding Constitutional law!! Is anyone even pursuing this subject?
Are these the same people that Obama said cannot be deported with out separate trials for each – separately?
Sadly I am not shocked. Wouldn’t even be shocked to learn he was flying terrorist into the country on AF1. Sickened yes but not shocked.
What I want to know is when is DOJ going to take some action on this or someone else to make Biden and all involved pay back ever cent they gave to the terrorist? No I won’t hold my breath happening as I doubt it will.
I said from day one, vote for a senile person for president you”ll get senile results, I also said he will start a war basically because of his weakness. Unfortunately the leftist news media didn’t tranfer that message to the American people because of their propaganda views, which in turn gave us the worst president and administration this country had ever faced. As Dan Bongino mentioned what did Biden do differently than a person who wanted to cause harm to this country and its citizens. I hope Donald Trump drains the swamp this country cannot face another disasterous 4 years of any democrat as president until their Marxist party gives up their Marxist ideology and globalism for this country. Their party has lost any sense of being a moderate party but a party of chaos for this country and the world.
According to Trump, Biden let 21 million illegals cross the border. If 6300 are criminals are known, what are the rest of these people? And what is the number that Venezuela sent here from the insane asylums ?
This is not a shocker to me. Or to many others I’m sure.
First, Who is The Center Square and The Daily Signal? Are they credible sources? Leftist? AP clones? Secondly, of course “Biden” gave away numbers…it is the first step to making them voters. That’s the plan, has been all along. It’s a no brainer to me.
I keep thinking it can’t get any worse and then more is found such as the above article. We have citizens here in the US who can’t get welfare benefits and yet terrorists can? This is not right. And I really believe this is merely the “tip of the iceberg”. So much more to come.
TREASON HAS NO MEANING IN THIS COUNTRY ANYMORE
And why would that shock anyone? The DNC and CCP stole the elections for their puppet Biden and many in Congress. They planned to make it as easy as possible to steal future elections.
Imo
Ther Democrats are hell bent on destroying our country! Crime, murder, disease, have all skyrocketed with the influx of undocumented, unscreened criminal aliens allowed to walk into our country! They should be tried for their treasonous acts and in prison. I am losing confidence in the government ever holding anyone accountable for their action, and that concerns me greatly.
