President Biden’s southern border continues to make headlines…
According to a report from The New York Post, six Russian nationals with ties to ISIS were apprehended in a coordinated sting operation in New York City, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia.
All six suspects crossed into the country via the southern border.
From The New York Post:
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.
Two others who were part of the same group were also arrested after being under surveillance for “several months” by a multi-agency Joint Terrorism Task Force, according to NBC.
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.
President Biden issued an executive order last week in an attempt to stem the flow of illegal migration, but it has largely gone ignored and unenforced.
A recent Border Patrol memo circulated within the San Diego sector directs Agents to let most illegal migrants into the country.
