After a still-mysterious incident in which two illegal aliens from Jordan allegedly attempted to breach Marine Corps Base Quantico, those aliens were released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody. Thanks to a lack of transparency from the Biden White House, we still know little about this disturbing incident.
Federal prosecutors agreed to allow the two illegal aliens to be released in June on paltry bonds of $10,000 and $15,000, according to an Aug 1 report from The New York Post. The decision to release these two illegal aliens from custody is disturbing given their alleged actions and how little we know about their motivations. Police arrested the two men in early May after they allegedly posed as Amazon delivery drivers and then allegedly attempted to ram their trucks through the entrance of the base. The lack of transparency coming from the Biden Administration over this incident has fueled concerns that the federal government is not taking the threat of terrorism emanating from illegal immigration seriously enough.
The administration has been slow to respond to Congressional inquiries about the incident and has dodged Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests about the suspects, prioritizing the privacy of the illegal aliens over the safety of the American people. Only after a court records search did the name of the suspects become public.
These facts pose a number of unresolved questions for Americans. For example, are the suspects lone wolves or were they working on behalf of a foreign government or terrorist organization? And, what kind of danger do they pose to the American public now that they’re back on the streets?
More than three months after the incident, these are all questions that remain unanswered. While we still don’t know what the motivations were for the alleged attempted breach, the fact that the two suspects hail from a country known as a hotbed for terrorism raises many red flags. These concerns are exacerbated by a recent Congressional report which found that 99 individuals on the terrorist watch list have been released into the U.S. since the Biden Administration assumed office.
