Joe Biden’s open border is the gift that keeps on giving.
It’s being reported now by the New York Post that six Russians from Tajikistan have been arrested by ICE after being warned by the FBI that they have terror ties to ISIS-K.
One of those terrorists, who was caught talking about bombs on a wiretap, is confirmed to have come over Biden’s open border and was released into the country.
Here’s more:
Six Russian nationals suspected to have terror ties to ISIS have been arrested in a coordinated sting operation spanning Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia, The Post can exclusively reveal.
Two ICE sources confirmed to The Post they arrested the six people, who hail from Tajikistan, over the last week after the FBI contacted the agency to warn it.
Part of the investigation featured a wiretap which revealed one of the now-arrested individuals was talking about bombs, the sources said.
“Remember the Boston marathon [bombing]? I’m afraid something like that might happen again or worse,” one of the sources told The Post.
The target who was subject to the wiretap was previously released by federal authorities at the southern border with a court date next year, but it has since emerged he has potential ties to ISIS, sources said.
Neither ICE nor the FBI immediately responded to The Post’s requests for comment.
The arrests come after warnings from FBI Director Chris Wray about possible ISIS terror plots being staged on US soil and the group’s potential for exploiting the southern border.
In April, Wray warned lawmakers that a possible “coordinated attack” could take place in the US following an ISIS-K attack on a concert hall in Moscow — carried out by citizens of Tajikistan — that killed 145 people and wounded hundreds.
“Our most immediate concern has been that individuals or small groups will draw twisted inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks here at home,” Wray told a House Appropriations subcommittee.
“But now, increasingly concerning is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland, akin to the ISIS-K attack we saw at the Russia concert hall a couple weeks ago.”
This is really a huge scandal and should be EVERYWHERE in the garbage media. Seriously, Wray wouldn’t be warning about this nor would ICE be arresting terrorists in this country if it weren’t for Joe Biden opening the border on day one when he stepped into the Oval Office.
But because they hate Trump, this will get minimal play if any in the media. Heck, we could have another 9/11 caused by terrorists coming over Biden’s open border and they still wouldn’t blame Biden for it.
[UPDATE]
It turns out there were eight suspected ISIS terrorists from Tajikistan and they were all fully vetted after coming over Joe Biden’s open border.
BREAKING: Per federal source familiar, ICE, in conjunction w/ the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, arrested 8 Tajikistan nationals w/ suspected ISIS ties in NYC, LA, and Philly in recent days. I’m told all 8 crossed the southern border illegally, received “full vetting”, and had no initial derogatory information that flagged. I’m told derogatory info/potential national security concerns flagged later on – apparently after release into the US. Source was unable to say when and where they crossed illegally into the US.
All are now in ICE custody pending removal proceedings and an active federal investigation.This was initially scooped by @JennieSTaer & New York Post, who report at least one of the individuals was caught on a FBI wiretap talking about bombs.
FBI/DHS joint statement to @FoxNews
“Over the last few days, ICE agents arrested several non-citizens pursuant to immigration authorities. The actions were carried out in close coordination with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces. The individuals arrested are detained in ICE custody pending removal proceedings. As the FBI and DHS have recently described in public and partner bulletins, the U.S. has been in a heightened threat environment. The FBI and DHS will continue working around the clock with our partners to identify, investigate, and disrupt potential threats to national security.”
