In January, FBI officials warned that President Biden’s policy of open borders, which includes releasing illegal aliens at the border to wander freely about the country, might precipitate a terrorist attack. 

We now know how right they were. A major attack is more likely than not.

For in the past few days, the FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) collared eight ISIS-linked terrorists. They entered the country thanks to one man and one man alone: Joe Biden.

The Arrest

“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 New York Post revealed:

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.

A wiretap revealed that one of the ISIS terrorists was discussing bombs, the Post reported. NBC reported that agents also arrested two other terrorists.

Federal sources confessed that border agents stopped the men at the border. But thanks to Joe Biden’s let’s-release-terrorists-at-the-border policy, they were freed to kill who knows how many Americans.

“I’m told all 8 crossed the southern border illegally, received ‘full vetting,’ and had no initial derogatory information that flagged,” Fox News’ Bill Melugin wrote on X:

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.

“Over the last few days, ICE agents arrested several non-citizens pursuant to immigration authorities,” the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a joint news release:

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.

No Surprise

Given that Joe Biden’s immigration policies include releasing criminals and terrorists at the border, one might conclude that the “potential threats to national security” are in the White House and federal agencies.

That observation aside, the arrests again confirm what FBI Director Christopher Wray said before the Senate Appropriations Committee last week when he pleaded for Congress not to cut the FBI’s budget.

“Just in the time I’ve been Director, we’ve disrupted multiple terrorist attacks in cities and communities around the country. We need funding to continue protecting America from terrorism,” Wray said:

There was already a heightened risk of violence in the United States before October 7. Since then, we’ve seen a rogue’s gallery of foreign terrorist organizations call for attacks against Americans and our allies. Given those calls for action, 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 warned about an attack here similar to that at the Crocus City Hall in Russia in March. ISIS terrorists murdered 145 people and wounded 551.

Whether Wray thinks Biden’s policy of open borders explains how the terrorists entered the country is unclear.

In January, 10 retired FBI officials told top members of the U.S. Senate and Congress that Biden has permitted a “soft invasion” of the United States by this nation’s enemies.

“It would be difficult to overstate the danger represented by the presence inside our borders of what is comparatively a multi-division army of young single adult males from hostile nations and regions whose background, intent, or allegiance is completely unknown,” the officials wrote:

They include individuals encountered by border officials and then possibly released into the country, along with a shockingly high estimate of “gotaways” — meaning those who have entered and evaded apprehension.

The officials wrote that a “startling number” showed up on the FBI terror watch list and “are potential operators in what appears to be an accelerated and strategic penetration, a soft invasion, designed to gain internal access to a country that cannot be invaded militarily in order to inflict catastrophic damage if and when enemies deem it necessary.”

Chances are, a terror attack is coming. Aside from the most recent arrests, on May 3, a Jordanian illegal alien and another unknown individual tried to enter Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia in a box truck. They pretended to be delivering for Amazon. On March 27, a Chinese national tried to enter the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twenty-Nine Palms, California.

In February, Syrian men wearing 5.11 Tactical gear showed up at the border. They said they came to the United States for “jobs.”

So far this fiscal year, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reports, agents have stopped 277 terror suspects at the nation’s borders. They have caught 80 trying to cross the southwest border illegally, and one trying to cross the border with Canada.

They have encountered 196 at ports of entry, and 172 at the northern border.

Last year, they caught or encountered 736.
