The term “national disgrace” barely skims the surface of the Biden Administration’s plea deal with 9/11 terror mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two accomplices.

Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi will now avoid the death penalty for their actions in the terror attacks of nearly 23 years ago, the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor.

In exchange for taking the death penalty off the table, the three will plead guilty to all charges, including the murder of 2,976 people.

This is what passes for justice, and it sends a powerful message.

For starters,

the deal is a slap in the face to the families of all those killed during the attacks, and thumbs its nose at the notion that the American people are held in high regard by the powers that be.

It also sends a dangerous signal to those who wish to do harm to America: you will not pay the highest price for your actions, no matter how despicable.

We’re already positioning the U.S. as a place of little consequence for agents of terror. Thanks to President Biden’s porous border, the Department of Homeland Security identified over 400 immigrants from Central Asia and elsewhere who crossed into the U.S. in the past three years as “subjects of concern” because they were brought by an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network, three U.S. officials told NBC News.

In April, the Border Patrol announced that agents arrested two Yemeni men who were on the FBI’s terrorist watch list over the past two months, the Washington Times reported.

Those are the ones who were apprehended.

Two illegal Jordanian migrants who are charged with trying to breach Marine Corps Base Quantico posted thousands of dollars in bail and were allowed to leave federal custody, according to the New York Post.

The pair were arrested on May 3 for trespassing onto the military installation and handed over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers because of their immigration statuses. The site is home to the FBI Academy and FBI Laboratory, as well as a Defense Intelligence Agency facility and several major US Marine Corps commands — including the unit that flies the Marine One presidential helicopter.

They were charged with misdemeanor trespassing on military property, and ordered released on the conditions that they show up to court for their immigration proceedings and stay away from Quantico or other military bases, according to the court documents, which were first reported by Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies.

It’s alarming at the very least, to everyone but the American-flag burning, “death to America” chanting, Hamas-flag waving “protesters” exercising their right to expression on campuses, streets and properties around the Capitol.

American university leadership is too permissive to bring charges against the anti-Israel, anti-semitic students wreaking havoc on campuses around the country.

Leaders have sent a clear message to those looking for a break in the fence to do their worst: if you hate America, you are welcome here. You’ll find a home for your flag burning and vandalism, with little if any repercussion.

Even if you breach secure sites, you can bail your way to freedom.

Enough. It’s time to put “American Safety First.”
