Over 1,500 Iranian nationals crossed into the U.S. illegally during the Biden administration—and nearly half were released into the country, raising alarms amid new national security warnings.
Key Facts:
- From FY 2021 to FY 2024, 1,504 Iranian nationals were arrested after illegally entering the U.S. at the southern border.
- Of those, 729 were released into the country—nearly 50% of the total.
- Iranian nationals are classified as “special interest aliens” due to national security risks.
- CBP data shows the number of arrests and releases increasing each year under Biden’s presidency.
- The Biden administration refused FOIA requests about whether any released Iranians were on the terror watchlist, citing “privacy concerns.”
The Rest of The Story:
The number of Iranian nationals arrested after illegally crossing into the U.S. surged year-over-year during President Biden’s time in office.
In FY 2021, just 48 were caught. By FY 2024, that number jumped to 797.
Likewise, the number of those released skyrocketed from 12 in FY 2021 to 448 in FY 2024.
Border officials are required to conduct enhanced vetting for Iranian nationals due to national security concerns.
Yet, nearly half of those apprehended were released before any confirmed clearance of their background.
Compounding fears, the administration refused to disclose how many—if any—were on terror watchlists.
The latest warnings from DHS came just after President Donald Trump ordered strikes on Iranian nuclear sites under “Operation Midnight Hammer.”
DHS described the U.S. as being in a “heightened threat environment” and referenced disrupted Iranian-backed terror plots since 2020.

Commentary:
This story is more than just another example of failed border policy—it is a direct consequence of lawless leadership.
The Biden administration didn’t just ignore the red flags.
It opened the gates and turned off the alarms.
When over 700 Iranian nationals—classified by DHS as high-risk—are let loose into the country with no accountability, that’s not incompetence.
That’s betrayal.
Every American should ask: how many of these individuals are part of hostile foreign operations?
We already know Iran has actively plotted to assassinate American leaders, including President Trump.
And yet, Biden’s DHS cites “privacy” as an excuse to withhold critical national security information.
This isn’t just about Iranians.
Over 2 million “gotaways” crossed the border under Biden—people we have zero data on.
In the eyes of common-sense Americans, this looks like a deliberate effort to weaken our defenses.
No other explanation fits the facts.
Chris Swecker, former FBI assistant director, said it best: this was “gross negligence.”
Releasing these individuals without proper interrogation or vetting means we lost crucial intel—intel that could prevent an attack.
That’s not just a missed opportunity.
It’s playing Russian roulette with American lives.
This level of recklessness should carry criminal consequences.
Every Biden official who facilitated this open-door disaster must be investigated and, where appropriate, prosecuted for dereliction of duty—if not treason.
Their actions have endangered every man, woman, and child in this country.
As for the Democratic Party—this is the final straw.
A party that lets terrorists waltz in while hiding behind bureaucratic excuses has no business governing a free nation.
Americans deserve leaders who will put them first.
That begins with ensuring nothing like this ever happens again.
In the meantime, Americans must stay alert.
Our cities, communities, and even small towns could be vulnerable.
When our enemies are already inside the gates, the best defense is vigilance.
The Bottom Line:
Hundreds of Iranian nationals with potential terror ties were released inside the U.S. under Biden’s open border policies.
DHS and CBP data point to a sharp rise in arrests and releases with little transparency about national security threats.
America is now playing catch-up on threats that never should have been allowed to take root.
This is what happens when politics trumps safety.
