Whistle-blower: Obama Admin Scrubbed Suspected Terrorists From DHS Database
WASHINGTON DC. We first helped bring this story to social media back in February 2016. We didn’t write the original story, it was published in The Hill, a Washington DC newspaper covering mostly DC-related politics.
The most extensive coverage that exposed this story was published by a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed against the Department of Homeland Security on February 13, 2015. The case is: Judicial Watch v Department of Homeland Security (Case# 1-15-cv-00222).
The Obama Administration scrubbed DHS’ database of suspected Islamic terrorists.
“Judicial Watch announced today that it obtained 183 pages of documents from the Department of Homeland Security revealing that the Obama administration scrubbed the law enforcement agency’s “Terrorist Screening Database” in order to protect what it considered the civil rights of suspected Islamic terrorist groups.”
“The documents appear to confirm charges that Obama administration changes created a massive “hands off” list. Removed data from the terrorist watch list could have helped prevent the San Bernardino terrorist attack.”
