Under the Biden administration, it was routine for Border Patrol to admit aliens into the United States with no legal status and minimal screening. So far, CBP identified a subset of 6.3k individuals paroled into the United States since 2023 on the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center watchlist or with criminal records. These paroles have since been terminated with immediate effect.

Despite having no other legal status, paroled aliens are able to file for work authorization and receive social security numbers. Among these 6.3k paroled aliens with criminal or terrorist records (all have a social security number):
- XXX collecting Medicaid (including X on the terrorist watch list). $276k was paid out
- XX collecting Unemployment Insurance, receiving $42k in benefits
- XX received federal student loans totaling $280k
- XXX received {net} tax refunds (2024 only) for $751k
- Several (final number TBD) received SNAP (food stamp) benefits
