Venezuelan national on FBI's terror watchlist released into Michigan after crossing border

Michigan investigative journalist Charlie LeDuff told Fox News on Thursday that a Lebanese-born Venezuelan national listed on the FBI's terror watchlist was released into the United States after crossing the border illegally.

According to LeDuff's reporting for Deadline Detroit, Issam Bazzi, who was caught near the Rio Grande River in Texas last November, was released on his own recognizance ahead of his March asylum hearing in Detroit. Bazzi reportedly traveled to the U.S. illegally with his wife and daughter, said LeDuff.

"He is not only on the terror watch list. The hit comes back high derogatory information affiliated with an unspecified group.
Classified information," said LeDuff.
Despite this, Bazzi was reportedly released into the U.S. because his weight deemed him at high risk for COVID,
the journalist told Tucker Carlson.

how nice of the government to give compassion to "high derogatory information" overweight terrorist. Praise Allah

Tucker Carlson is not a journalist. He's a sensationalist and a liar whose sole purpose is to make Fox News viewers angry and scared, which apparently he accomplished for you. This is the same guy who asked why we can't be on Russia's side in the Russia v. Ukraine conflict. Your source is completely rejected.

It's so refreshing when someone tells you outright, just how little a place they have in legitimate discussion.
Thank you for being so honest with us Rabid.

Nothing you posted shows Tucker Carlson is a journalist or that the sensationalist bullshit he's peddling is true.

Bazzi and his family were detained in Texas last November, as authorities decided what to do with him. Background checks and at least one interrogation were conducted. The FBI recommended that Bazzi continue to be be detained. Agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement deemed him a flight risk.

But officials from the Department of Homeland Security ordered his release. One of the mitigating factors, according to those documents, was that Bazzi had a precondition that made him highly susceptible to Covid-19. That precondition: Bazzi is overweight.
And so, he and his family were discharged on or about Dec. 9, with the promise Bazzi would show up in March in Detroit for his immigration hearing.

In any event, current and former federal law enforcement officials say they have no recollection of a person with a confirmed hit in the database being allowed entry. Especially one who entered the country by raft.

watch list

Ever wonder how many Americans make to that watch list?
After January 6th, there may be a whole slew of new Americans on the watch list.


What did Bazzi do to be placed on the watch list?
