President Joe Biden’s deputies are hunting for at least 50 migrants who were delivered by a smuggling network with a claimed “tie” to the Islamic State jihad network.
NBC News reported the official leak two days before the 2024 presidential debate:
The Department of Homeland Security has identified over 400 immigrants who have come to the U.S. from Central Asia and elsewhere as “subjects of concern” because they were brought by an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network, three U.S. officials tell NBC News.
While over 150 of them have been arrested, the whereabouts of over 50 remain unknown, the officials said, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement is looking to arrest them on immigration charges when they are located.
The alarm follows Biden’s deliberate policy to admit millions of unidentifiable migrant men from more than 150 countries around the world. The inflow includes tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan, which was the home base for Al Qaeda’s attack on the Twin Towers in 2001.
Since the start of Fiscal Year 2021, almost 400 migrants who appear on the Terrorist Watch List have been detained along the border attempting to enter the United States.
