What about those 10 terrorist caught crossing the border last week?

Fact Check.....

"We caught 10 terrorists over the last very short period of time. Ten. These are very serious people. Our border agents, all of our law enforcement has been incredible what they've done. But we caught 10 terrorists. These are people that were looking to do harm," Trump said in the Oval Office.

There's no public evidence that border authorities foiled ten terrorists recently. The White House, FBI, and DHS all either did not respond to comment or did not offer information about which ten terrorists were caught to back up Trump's claim.
However, DHS data does say the agency prevents an average of 10 suspected terrorists — identified on terror watch lists — from entering the U.S. each day.


We need to have trump identify the 10 busted at the Mexican border. Names, country and what court they have been charged in. Don't let him get away with this lie.
