Pressure Mounts On Biden Admin to Issue National Terrorism Alert After Arrest of Suspected ISIS-Tied Border Crossers; Suspected ISIS Terrorists Slip Across Southern Border While Biden Fixates On Trump

Pressure mounts on Biden admin to issue national terrorism alert after arrest of suspected ISIS-tied border crossers:

Former homeland security officials are slamming the Biden administration for failing to issue a national terror threat bulletin for over a year — despite a string of serious potential terror threats stemming from the southern border.

The arrest of eight individuals from Tajikistan believed to have links to the ISIS terror organization — in addition to several recent accidental releases of migrants whose names appear on the terror watchlist — should be enough to alert the public to a terrorist threat, the former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials told The Post.

The DHS last issued a national terrorism alert to the public on May 5, 2023, concerning domestic extremist violence, an alert that expired in November 2023.

Former acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan told The Post the terrorism “threat posed by the current chaos and lawlessness at our border” justifies a new alert to the public.

“DHS had no qualms about releasing a Terrorism Bulletin in March of 2023 alerting the country to the threat posed, in part, due to potential violence by individuals ‘perceptions of the 2024 general election cycle,’ ” Morgan said.

“Yet, when we arrest actual terrorists, who illegally crossed our border, and the FBI director, as well as the broader intelligence community is sounding the alarm concerning the threat our open borders present to our national security, DHS remains silent.

“Could it be there is a presidential election in five months?”

The federal government has recognized the US is in a “heightened” threat environment, while FBI Director Chris Wray has made public warnings about what, how and why those threats could materialize. —>READ MORE HERE

Battenfeld: Suspected ISIS terrorists slip across southern border while Biden fixates on Trump:

While Joe Biden and the media are fixated on putting “convicted felon” Donald Trump behind bars, eight suspected ISIS terrorists slipped across the southern border illegally behind Biden’s back.

The Democratic president’s immigration ineptitude – which until now has involved thousands of migrants daily swarming across the border – is now causing a national security threat.

It could be the greatest threat to national security is not China or Russia but our own southern border thanks to Biden’s failed border non-policies.

The mainstream media and Democrats are mostly downplaying the threat but with terrorist threat levels up, the possibility of an ISIS attack looms before the November election.

The eight men from central Asia associated with ISIS actually successfully made it across the southern border – one using a government app to declare asylum – but were just arrested in New York, Los Angeles and Philadelphia, officials confirmed.

The New York Post broke the story and it’s been confirmed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and federal intelligence officials.

The men were rounded up as part of an FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force investigation of a potential terror threat. The FBI had been reportedly monitoring the activities of the suspected terrorist group for several months.

“Over the last few days, ICE agents arrested several non-citizens pursuant to immigration authorities,” the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI said in a joint statement. “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.” —>READ MORE HERE
