<p>The Biden administration allowed roughly 18,000 known or suspected terrorists into the country, Director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent testified to the House Homeland Security Committee Thursday.</p>
<p>Kent revealed that 2,000 of the 18,000 known or suspected terrorists were let into the country as part of the Biden administration&#8217;s program to bring Afghans to the United States following the botched troop withdrawal from the war-torn country. He also said that the 18,000 number doesn&#8217;t include the &#8220;unknown&#8221; number of terrorists the Biden administration allowed in after they crossed the border.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re working right now hand in hand with DHS and with the FBI to run down this 2,000 — the Afghans that came here under Operation Allies Welcome who have ties to terrorist organizations, and additionally the other 16,000 individuals with ties to terrorist organizations that Biden let into our country,&#8221; Kent said.</p>
<p>&#8220;That is probably the top terrorist threat that we face right now and that doesn&#8217;t include the individuals that came here illegally through the open border, that number alarmingly remains unknown at this time. We&#8217;re trying to figure out who those individuals are as well,&#8221; he added.</p>

<p>The top counterterrorism official cited the Biden administration&#8217;s admission of the Afghan man accused of shooting two National Guard soldiers in Washington, D.C., last month, killing one of them. He said the Biden administration created a &#8220;ruse&#8221; to allow him into the country.</p>
<p>&#8220;These are individuals who under normal circumstances would never be allowed to enter our country because of their ties to jihadi groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda, yet the Biden administration not only let them into the country and in many cases facilitated their entry into the country, just like the entry of the Afghan terrorist who committed the terrorist attack here just before Thanksgiving, killing one of our National Guard members and wounding another,&#8221; Kent said.</p>
<p>&#8220;That Afghan was brought into the country as a group of over 100,000 Afghans who were brought here during the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. These individuals, despite what has been reported, were not vetted properly to come into the United States,&#8221; he added.</p>
