The U.S. government has rejected revealing the nationalities of people on the FBI's terror watchlist and arrested at the southern border, claiming this could expose "vulnerabilities" within law enforcement and also "tip off" terrorists.
The request was made by Fox News through a Freedom of Information Act request in October last year, with the response coming this week. The request, the outlet said, sought the nationalities of those apprehended between ports of entry, excluding their names and other identifying information. However, the government also cited the people's privacy in rejecting the request.
