Former senior-ranking U.S. Border Patrol official, Aaron Heitke, has accused the Biden-Harris administration of covering up a crisis at the southern border. Heitke claimed that the administration ordered him to withhold data on encounters with suspected terrorists and other critical information. He also testified that the administration engaged in a conspiracy to downplay the migrant crisis by manipulating statistics and chartering $150k flights to move migrants to Texas. The accusations include hiding an increase in the number of people with ties to terrorism at California’s border with Mexico and failing to allocate resources to track fentanyl.
