Over 400 Illegal Aliens Smuggled Into US By ISIS-Affiliated Network, Report Says
A recent report by NBC News has revealed that over 400 illegal aliens have entered the United States through a human smuggling network affiliated with ISIS during President Joe Biden’s administration. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has identified these individuals who were brought in through the Islamic terrorist network.
According to the report, 150 of these individuals have been arrested, but federal law enforcement officials are still searching for more than 50 whose whereabouts remain unknown. The remaining illegal aliens are dispersed across 17 states, and authorities are expected to apprehend them soon.
The Biden administration has claimed credit for tracking down these individuals, stating that their efforts were driven by “an abundance of caution.” These illegal aliens crossed the southern border amidst the national security and immigration crisis exacerbated by Biden’s open borders policies.
Initially, these individuals were released into the U.S. because there was no information linking them to terrorism when they were encountered by U.S. Border Patrol. Former FBI counterterrorism section chief Christopher O’Leary described the situation as “clearly alarming,” noting the urgency in locating these individuals and the common practice of using immigration charges to detain them.
The report highlights that illegal aliens from countries where ISIS operates rarely have information in any databases connecting them to terrorism. These countries often lack the infrastructure to track terrorist suspects or are unwilling to share such information with the United States.
This news follows the recent arrest of eight ISIS terrorist suspects in various U.S. cities earlier this month, all of whom had entered the country illegally through the southern border. The situation underscores the complexities and dangers associated with border security and the importance of vigilant tracking and apprehension of individuals linked to terrorist networks.
