FBI background checks of potential U.S. immigrants are slow and unreliable, the Justice Department’s internal watchdog agency said in a highly critical report Monday.
“The FBI’s name check processes are inefficient and untimely, rely on outdated technology and provide little assurance that pertinent and derogatory information is being retrieved and transmitted to customer agencies,” said the report by Justice Department Inspector General Glenn Fine.
Fine identified not only old FBI technology but also “limited supervision and training, and inadequate quality control measures” as reasons for the delays.”*
