1. CLAIM — The Biden administration flew undocumented immigrants ("illegals") directly into the United States without vetting them for violent criminal histories and funded the flights through NGOs, constituting a war crime orchestrated by DHS Secretary Mayorkas.12

2. VERDICT — MISLEADING.

3. EVIDENCE — The post refers to documented Biden-era practices where Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released some single-adult migrants (after illegal border crossings) who were then transported via buses to nearby airports and flown domestically to interior U.S. cities, often coordinated with NGOs funded by federal grants (e.g., FEMA's Shelter and Services Program). These occurred primarily from Texas border areas like Brownsville and San Antonio to destinations like Atlanta, Houston, and Miami, starting around spring 2021 amid Title 42 processing overloads.345 Some released migrants had U.S.-detected misdemeanor records (e.g., assault, DUI, drug possession), despite basic biometric screening against U.S. databases; foreign criminal histories were harder to verify due to limited cooperation from origin countries.64 NGOs like Catholic Charities received taxpayer funds for such transport, but these were not direct international flights "into America"—migrants had already entered via the border.7 Separate legal parole programs (e.g., CHNV) involved international flights after vetting, including criminal checks, but participants were not "illegals."8910 No evidence supports "no vetting," systematic violent criminals, or war crimes; claims exaggerate routine (if controversial) release/transport amid high encounters. Mayorkas oversaw DHS policies but faced no criminal charges.11
