Biden-Harris administration’s flagship immigration programs have allowed 1.3 million migrants to enter — including gang members and terror suspects

Just five months before Luis Miguel Calzadilla-Rojas — a Venezuelan migrant and alleged member of the Tren de Aragua gang — was arrested after a shooting outside a probation office in Aurora, Colorado, he was admitted to the U.S. — under a controversial immigration program launched by the Biden-Harris administration.

Calzadilla-Rojas entered the country using the CBP One app, which is designed to help asylum seekers legally enter America.

He is one of 1.3 million migrants who have entered the country through legal pathways created by the Biden-Harris administration in less than two years.

The programs were created unilaterally, without Congressional consent or consultation.

Homeland Security sources tell The Post that most migrants face virtually no screening, especially if their home countries — including Venezuela, Haiti and Cuba — refuse to cooperate with U.S. law enforcement.

“It doesn’t surprise me that gang members get in so easily and so often,” a source recently told The Post.

Calzadilla-Rojas is not the only person who has managed to slip through serious loopholes in the CBP One program.

Three suspected ISIS members from Tajikistan arrested by federal authorities in June used the Biden-Harris visa application to enter the U.S., according to data the Department of Homeland Security provided to the House Judiciary Committee.

The program also allowed the inclusion of two other suspected Tren de Aragua gang members who were arrested in connection with an attempted murder in Aurora in late July.

The Biden-Harris administration introduced CBP’s Single App Entry program in January 2023, which Biden said would help control the number of migrants illegally crossing the border.

Using the app, migrants can schedule appointments with immigration officials to review their applications to enter the U.S. To apply, they must be outside the U.S. — usually just across the border in Mexico.

At the time, he argued that by giving potential asylum seekers the opportunity to enter the U.S. legally, they could be screened and would not have to use the services of people smugglers backed by the cartels.

But critics — including Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who sued the government over the policy — argued that the Biden-Harris administration was “inviting illegal immigrants to cross the border.”

Then, illegal border crossings surged. More than 2 million people entered the U.S. between February 2023 and April 2024, peaking at 117,000 in May of this year alone.

Since January 2023, the app has allowed approximately 813,000 migrants to enter the U.S. through ports of entry on the southern border.

High demand for CBP One border crossings recently prompted the Mexican government to begin busing migrants to the U.S. border to help them reach their scheduled CBP One crossing times sooner.

With CBP One, the Biden administration has allowed 30,000 Cuban, Haitian, Venezuelan, and Nicaraguan migrants to enter the U.S. via commercial flights. A total of 530,000 migrants have successfully reached the U.S. via those flights.

The flight program had to be suspended recently due to mass fraud, but has now been restarted.

Combined, these programs allowed 1.3 million migrants to enter the United States.

While entry programs continue to bring thousands of migrants into the U.S. each month, the Biden-Harris administration is seeing success at the border. Illegal border crossings have fallen to their lowest level since Biden took office amid last-minute new restrictions on asylum.

After three years of record illegal border crossings, the number of Border Patrol contacts dropped to about 83,000 in June, 56,000 in July and 58,000 in August, according to federal data.

“CBP continues to enforce the Interim Final Rule to secure the border and impose severe penalties for unlawful entry, and border crossings between ports of entry remain at multi-year lows,” Biden Administration Acting Customs and Border Protection Secretary Troy Miller said in a recent statement.

The controversial CBP One app has drawn the ire of Republicans who say it legalizes immigrants who have no legal basis to be in the U.S.

Former President Donald Trump recently promised to “shut down the Kamala illegal immigrant smuggling app (CBP One App).”

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green opened a hearing on the border Wednesday by calling the Biden-Harris administration’s entry programs a “shell game” that is part of a “trick to skew the statistics.”

Critics say recent arrests of gang members and terror suspects show CBP One is not helping to improve border security.

Calzadilla-Rojas entered the U.S. through the Paso Del Norte Port of Entry in El Paso, Texas, in August 2023, Homeland Security sources said.

Officials investigating Calzadilla-Rojas conducted required background checks but found no information about him — likely because the United States and Venezuela do not share information, the sources said.

He was then allowed to return to the country on parole for two years, with the possibility of applying for an extension at a court hearing in April 2026, the sources added.

But Calzadilla-Rojas was one of 10 members of a violent Venezuelan street gang caught in a Jan. 3 shooting in the migrant-heavy city of Aurora, Colorado, outside the Arapahoe County Probation Office, police said.

He was later identified by Aurora police as a “documented TdA member.”

When he entered the U.S., Calzadilla-Rojas told the feds he would be living in Madison, Wis. He was arrested nearly 1,000 miles away, outside Denver—one of the Venezuelan gang’s biggest U.S. strongholds.
