The Biden administration may have lost track of millions of illegal aliens who poured across the open U.S. southern border, according to a bombshell congressional report.
A 61-page interim report released by the House Judiciary Committee on Monday found over 2.2 million illegal migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border in the first 11 months of fiscal year 2023.
The data also shows that the government has “no confirmed departure” for more than 2.4 million migrants encountered since January 2021.
“Because of the unprecedented border crisis, some Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have been forced to abandon arrests and removals of aliens, including criminal aliens, to process the illegal aliens who have arrived at the southwest border,” the report stated.
NEW: Chairman @Jim_Jordan and @RepMcClintock release a bombshell report on the Biden Border Crisis, exposing shocking data.
More than 99% of illegal aliens released by the Biden Administration between Jan 20, 2021, and Mar 31, 2023, remain in America.

“Meanwhile, the Biden Administration’s own policies and so-called enforcement ‘priorities’ have contributed to reduced arrests and lower removals of aliens.”
“The Committee and Subcommittee will continue to conduct oversight of the Biden Administration’s radical, open-borders immigration policies,” it added.
“This interim staff report highlights the failures of President Biden’s immigration agenda and helps to inform the House on legislative reforms to secure the border, reform immigration law, and end the far left’s policy incentives driving the crisis at the border.”
The Biden White House pushed back against the report, saying it was “full of lies.”
“This so-called report is full of lies from House Republicans who continue to play politics while sabotaging President Biden’s work to ramp up enforcement and personnel at the border,” a White House spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement.
“House Republicans have refused to act on this request and provide DHS the tools to safely and humanely manage the Southwest Border, they have been pre-occupied posturing and bickering,” the spokesperson added.
