Eight Tajikistan nationals with ties to ISIS were arrested by ICE and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in New York, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia after entering the U.S. illegally through our southern border.
The details: The suspects entered the U.S. without initial flags from Customs and Border Protection or the Department of Homeland Security. Post-release, they were identified as having ties to ISIS, raising alarms about possible terrorism threats.
How’d we find them? Wiretaps revealed one suspect discussed bombings reminiscent of the Boston Marathon attack.
Back up: This comes one week after FBI Director Christopher Wray testified to the Senate that he was concerned about an increased threat of a coordinated terrorist attack inside the U.S.
Big picture: This all circles back to Joe Biden’s reckless open border. 294 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist have been apprehended at the southern border since Biden took office. And those are just the ones we caught. Customers and Border Protection estimate over 1.7 million illegal aliens have entered the U.S. undetected under Biden.
