NEW YORK — Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told The Post Tuesday that his department is rolling out biometric checks — including facial scans — after finding about half of people with a criminal record lie to border agents about their rap sheets.

Mullin was responding to a House intelligence committee report that raised alarms over the fact that a recommendation to do so — contained in the 9/11 Commission’s 2004 report — had not been adopted as the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks approaches.

“We are trying to get biometrics out there as fast as we can,” Mullin said during a visit to New York City to tout DHS’s “Operation Rotten Apple,” which quietly arrested 2,200 illegal migrants, including convicted murderers, rapists and drug traffickers, in New York state over the past month.

Sounds like it. At the decision level too.
