LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

What happened to the terrorists?

On Jan. 4, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders thatU.S. Custom and Border Protection picked up nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists coming across the southern border last year.

According to Justice Department public records, and two former counterterrorism officials, no immigrant has been arrested at the southern border on terrorism charges in recent years.

If we are to believe the Trump administration’s claim, then the question everyone should be asking is: What has been done with these 4,000 terrorists? They are not at Guantanamo Bay, as Gitmo has only 40 terrorists being held in detention.

It sounds as if we are either being lied to or 4,000 terrorists were caught and then released. It’s chilling to think that these 4,000 terrorists may try to re-enter our country and try and kill us.
