U.S. Department of Customs & Border Protection: CBP Enforcement Statistics, Terrorist Screening Dataset (TSDS) Encounters:
How I arrived at the 3,500% increase claim:
Under Trump, there were an average of 2.75 encounters per year with individuals on the Terrorist Watch List from FY 2017-21.
Under Biden, there were an average of 96.25 encounters per year with individuals on the Terrorist Watch List from FY 2021-24.
96.25 divided by 2.75 = 35; meaning, a 3,500% increase.
