Terrorists are crossing the southern border…
According to a report from The New York Post, ICE officials have apprehended eight Tajikistan nationals with suspected terrorist ties to ISIS in a multi-city sting operation in New York City, Philadelphia, and LA.
All six suspects crossed President Biden’s southern border and passed initial vetting by federal authorities.
At least two of the men had crossed into the US in spring 2023, and one had used the CBP One app to enter, according to NBC’s sources.
Two others who were part of the same group were also arrested after being under surveillance for “several months” by a multi-agency Joint Terrorism Task Force, according to NBC.
During the course of the investigation, authorities used wiretaps and overheard discussions about bombs.
“Remember the Boston Marathon [bombing]? I’m afraid something like that might happen again or worse,” one of the sources told The Post.
From The New York Post:
The target who was subject to the wiretap was previously released by federal authorities at the southern border with a court date next year, but it has since emerged he has potential ties to ISIS, sources said.
In a joint statement, the Department of Homeland Security and FBI told The Post: “Over the last few days, ICE agents arrested several non-citizens pursuant to immigration authorities.
“The actions were carried out in close coordination with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces. The individuals arrested are detained in ICE custody pending removal proceedings … The FBI and DHS will continue working around the clock with our partners to identify, investigate, and disrupt potential threats to national security. ”
