From the New York Post: The Trump administration’s mass deportation raids have nabbed more than 200 known or suspected terrorists since January — including one of India’s “most wanted,” who is accused of masterminding a grenade attack on a cop there and has ties to a US-designated terrorist organization in Pakistan.
Since President Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have arrested 219 known or alleged terrorists, marking a 655% increase from the same period last year when 29 such arrests were made under former President Joe Biden, according to new Homeland Security data obtained by The Post.
Among the dozens of terrorists swept up in Trump’s raids was Harpreet Singh, a citizen of India who entered the US illegally on Jan. 27, 2022 by crossing from Mexico into Arizona and was swiftly released into the country by Border Patrol agents with a future court date, a DHS official said.
The Biden administration is to blame for allowing Singh to roam the country for more than three years, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told The Post.
Fox News reporter Brooke Taylor announced:
ICE arrested Harpreet Singh, an illegal alien with connection to terrorist activities, including planning more than a dozen grenade attacks on police officials. Singh entered the country illegally in 2022 in Arizona, was arrested by border patrol agents, and then released under Biden’s catch and release policies.
According to sources, Sinh is a foreign fugitive wanted in India for providing terrorist funds, recruitment, and planning of a grenade attack of an Indian Police Station and on a retired Punjab police officer’s house.
He is also wanted by the Indian Government for multiple violent extortion and threatening operations in India. Per the Indian Intelligence Bureau, he is one of the most wanted men by the Indian agencies. Indian officials believe Singh to be a senior transnational terror network operative linked to Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), a foreign terrorist organization.
Because of catch and release policies he was released after being caught coming into the country illegally. Sources say he was arrested by ICE on April 16 in Sacramento, CA.

Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin responded with this statement:
“The Biden Administration not only let a wanted terrorist into our country, but after he was arrested by Border patrol agents, they released him into the interior of our country.While shocking, it’s not surprising given the Biden Administration routinely released unvetted terrorists and criminals into American communities. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem’s leadership, ICE is unleashed to remove these violent criminals from America’s streets and put an end to catch and release. We will hunt down, arrest, and lock up foreign terrorists and criminals who have operated with impunity on American soil.”

@FBISacramento conducted the investigation coordinating with our partners locally as well as in India. Excellent work from all, and justice will be done. The FBI will continue finding those who perpetrate violence — no matter where they are.
