Significant Security Threats Detected at US Border, ‘Special Interest’ Iranians Apprehended

0

The United States Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) recently reported a significant security concern at the open southern border.

In the first two weeks of October 2023, CBP sources confirmed at least two instances of Iranians being apprehended at the border, raising red flags about potential security threats.

These individuals were flagged in the terrorist screening database (TSDB), indicating they could pose a significant security threat to the nation. This alarming development underscores the urgent need for more robust border security measures to protect American citizens from potential terror threats.

In one particular incident, a single male from Iran was apprehended at the border on a Sunday.

This followed the capture of three other men from Egypt and Lebanon at the border in the previous week. These individuals were classified as Special Interest Aliens (SIAs) and were set to undergo vetting procedures.

The situation at the border is further complicated by the influx of migrants. A train bursting with migrants from Zacatecas was heading towards the southern border, clearly ignoring the message not to come.

This highlights the challenges faced by border patrol agents in managing the border situation.

Moreover, it’s estimated that 1.5 million illegal aliens entered the US during the current administration’s tenure. These ‘got-aways’ were not apprehended at the border and did not want to be apprehended, further exacerbating the border crisis.

The recent apprehensions of Iranians at the border are a stark reminder of the potential security threats that an open border can invite. It is crucial for the government to take immediate action to secure the borders and ensure the safety of its citizens.

The current state of the border underlines the need for a comprehensive immigration policy that addresses security concerns. The apprehension of ‘special interest’ Iranians at the border is a wake-up call for the nation to prioritize border security.

 The government must act swiftly to address this issue and ensure the safety and security of American citizens.
