U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed that four individuals on a terror watchlist have been apprehended crossing the southern border hours after House Democrats slammed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy for warning about the threat.

CBP told Congress that four people on the FBI’s terrorism watchlist, three from Yemen and one from Serbia, have been arrested at the border since Oct. 1, according to Axios.

On Monday, McCarthy was criticized by House Democrats after warning of the potential terror threat at the border.

“You saw it in their eyes,” McCarthy said, referring to border agents he spoke with at the border who spoke about the risk of terrorists crossing the border. “They talked about, ‘They’re on the list.’ … The terrorist watchlist.”

Arizona Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego took issue with McCarthy’s warning, tweeting that the Republican minority leader was “either wrong or lying.”
