The Biden-Harris Administration has halted a highly controversial program that allowed tens of thousands of migrants from four countries to fly directly into the U.S. every month after it was reportedly discovered that the system was being abused by widespread fraud.

Fox News reported that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) paused the program that allows up to 30,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV) to come into the U.S. each month under the Biden-Harris Administration’s use of parole, which some critics have said is illegal.

The report said that Congress discovered that an internal report found “large amounts of fraud in applications for those sponsoring the applicants.”

“The focus is on issues with supporter filings, and not with the filings from the beneficiaries of the program themselves,” the report said.

A spokesperson for the department claimed that it takes abuse of its systems “very seriously”.

“Where fraud is identified, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will investigate and litigate applicable cases in immigration court and make criminal referrals to the Department of Justice,” the spokesperson claimed. “Out of an abundance of caution, DHS has temporarily paused the issuance of advanced travel authorizations for new beneficiaries while it undertakes a review of supporter applications. DHS will restart application processing as quickly as possible, with appropriate safeguards.”

Forms of those applying for program included social security numbers, addresses, and phone numbers that had been used hundreds of times.

Part of the internal report “showed that 100,948 forms were filled out by 3,218 serial sponsors — those whose number appears on 20 or more forms,” FNC reported. “It also found that 24 of the 1,000 most used numbers belonged to a dead person. Meanwhile, 100 physical addresses were used between 124 and 739 times on over 19,000 forms. Those addresses included storage units. One sponsor phone number was submitted on over 2,000 forms, and there were 2,839 forms with non-existent sponsor zip codes, according to the leak.”

House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) said the discovery “vindicates every warning we have ever issued about the unlawful CHNV mass-parole program.”

“It also exposes the lie by administration officials, like now-impeached DHS Secretary Mayorkas, about the quality and extent of the vetting process—not just for the inadmissible aliens seeking entry, but those attempting to sponsor them,” he said. “We issued a subpoena last year to compel documents regarding this program, and while DHS partially complied, the department remains delinquent in producing certain documents and communications relating to the program.”

Green said that the Biden-Harris mass-parole program was illegal and was created to spare the administration of the “political embarrassment and bad optics of overrun borders.”

Former Acting Secretary of DHS Chad Wolf also called the Biden-Harris program illegal.

“This is not a surprise and was predictable. We’ve been told each parole application was being individually evaluated. That was an outstanding lie and the result is unacceptable,” he posted on X. “Time and again Biden-Harris immigration actions run counter to our national security. There needs to be significant oversight of USCIS from the DHS OIG and Congress.”

The Biden-Harris Administration canceled a stunning plea deal that was signed this week with the terrorists who were responsible for the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States — and relieved the senior U.S. official who offered the deal.

Retired Brig. Gen. Susan K. Escallier, who was responsible for overseeing the war court case at Guantánamo Bay, was relieved from her position by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin after her team entered into pretrial agreements with 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi.

The deal allowed the terrorists to escape the death penalty in-exchange for them pleading guilty to the murder of 2,976 people and serving sentences of at most life in prison.

By removing Escallier, Austin assumed authority over the case and immediately canceled the agreement, meaning the death penalty is back on the table, following days of public backlash against the Biden-Harris Administraiton.

“Effective immediately, in the exercise of my authority, I hereby withdraw from the three pretrial agreements that you signed on July 31, 2024,” Austin said.

Top U.S. lawmakers slammed the Biden-Harris Administration for the plea deal, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).

McConnell said the plea deal was “a revolting abdication of the government’s responsibility to defend America and provide justice.”

“The Biden-Harris Administration’s weakness in the face of sworn enemies of the American people apparently knows no bounds,” McConnell said. “The only thing worse than negotiating with terrorists is negotiating with them after they are in custody. The families of their victims and the American people deserve real justice. In the same week that Israel eliminated some of Iran’s most trusted terrorist proxies, the Administration’s decision to spare these mass-murderers from the death penalty is an especially bitter pill.”

“Meanwhile, the Biden-Harris Administration still seeks to release other Guantanamo terrorists back into the world,” he concluded. “The Administration’s cowardice in the face of terror is a national disgrace.”

“23 years ago, America watched in horror as thousands of innocent Americans died,” he continued. “America mourned for weeks afterwards as first responders sifted through the ashes at Ground Zero, at the Pentagon, and at the crash site in Shanksville. For more than two decades, the families of those murdered by these terrorists have waited for justice. This plea deal is a slap in the face of those families. They deserved better from the Biden-Harris Administration.”

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said that the plea deal made it “a very, very good week, if you happen to be a terrorist.”

“If you happen to be someone who wants to murder Americans, this has been a phenomenal week because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris just gave a gift to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, they agreed to take the death penalty off the table and spare his life,” Cruz said. “It’s an absolute outrage. It’s an insult to the families of all of those who were murdered on 9/11.”
