Tajikistan Nationals With Ties to ISIS Arrested in Multiple Cities
Sources told Fox News that immigration officials “fully vetted” the nationals and didn’t flag anything.
Authorities arrested eight Tajikistan nationals in Los Angeles, New York City, and Philadelphia this week:
Sources told Fox News that immigration officials “fully vetted” the nationals and didn’t flag anything. From NBC News:
The suspects had been on the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force radar and were arrested by personnel with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, better known as ICE, the sources say.
All eight men crossed through the southern border into the U.S., and their criminal backgrounds checks came back clean when they crossed, say two officials familiar with the matter.
At least two of the men crossed the border in spring 2023, and one of those men used the CBP One app, which the Biden administration created to allow migrants to book appointments to claim asylum, those officials say.
Other sources told The New York Post that a wiretap revealed one of the arrested nationals spoke about bombs.
DHS and FBI sent out a joint statement: “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.”
We learned this week that the administration told the San Diego border patrol to continue catch and release most illegal aliens.
Officials exempted six countries: Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
Officials must label those from the six countries as “hard” or “very hard” to remove.
My thoughts tonight regarding the news today that 8 nationals of Tajikistan w/ suspected ISIS ties were arrested after crossing the southern border illegally & initially had no derogatory info flag during vetting.
For years, my border contacts have told me vetting is inadequate. pic.twitter.com/vB3EPZitzx— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) June 12, 2024

Our government is playing spy-vs-spy with the Islamists, with American lives at stake. What could possibly go wrong?
Our government is run by America-hating Leftists who should be tried for treason.
Thank you, Joe Biden! You traitorous bastard! You have let in probably thousands of terrorists who now live among us and plot our demise. You are a disgrace to your Office and to America!
I have a feeling we are going to find out.
You too?
And when it occurrs expect a flurry of flapping freedoms taking wing, as they never let an opportunity go wasted.
We should start calling out treason.
Mybe then there will be free reign to educate them.
Mad Magazine’s Spy vs. Spy?
Keep in mind that it was Tajiks who shot up that Moscow concert hall a few months ago. I thought it was interesting that the first reports claimed that the suspects were “Russian.” It turns out, they’re Russian adversaries.
Tajiks are ethnic Iranians (Persians). There has been a very close diplomatic/economic relationship between Iran & Tajikistan for several decades. We had quite a few problems with Tajik nationals operating in Iraq, particularly in advance of the Sunni Awakening. Several years later, ISIS recruited HEAVILY from Tajikistan. There were a lot of Tajiks killed when we finally wiped out ISIS. A LOT.
Yep. Whenever someone starts wailing Russia, Russia, Russia expect that 999/1,000 it is not the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
I would think it is more like 1001/1000.
The only thing shocking to me about the border crisis at this point is that we haven’t yet had a major terrorist incident on US soil.
At this point, it’s not a matter of when the sleeper cells in the US are activated, it’s a matter of when. And I suspect that the longer it takes for them to prepare and coordinate it, the worse it’s going to be.
9/11?
My tinfoil hat keeps shouting that they won’t let one happen til they have the story and (permanent) emergency responses properly t-ed up.
This is new. The “surprise” one-offs that turned out to be “known wolfs” didn’t work. So, now they’re gonna try a different flavor of crisis, to not let go to waste.
Please, whatever powers watch over our world, let this remain a mildly amusing fantasy like Dwarfs chasing through the cosmos with their space-time wormhole map.
I wonder if these guys will vote Democrat after they’re doing blowing up our infrastructure and mowing down a few thousand Americans in shopping malls and concert halls, etc.
It sounds like they share a lot of blue values we have seen proudly displayed by Dems. I would count them as solid Biden votes.
Before AND after.
is it true?
did they really capture anyone?
or dangerous “anyones”???
an administration that welcomes in ,,without restraint, can not then be trusted to do the right thing
even if for some reason they did
they have already told the public to go f themselves and they will not follow laws or they will invent new laws etc etc
it is scary to think we are at that point but then who’d think we’d have scotus saying they cant tell you what a women is…and still be put into power?
If we had several serious terrorist attacks it would be a good excuse for the regime to implement total surveillance combined with AI. See the “Person of Interest” series.
9 11
then they created what they didnt need to create except to cover their own butts…homeland security
which of course was then exploited further with the anti american ovomit/fjb team
laws are already on the books
pols have to increase “Security” to deny Liberties
of course,,”for our own good”
“Immigration officials “fully vetted” the nationals and didn’t flag anything.”
Rigorous!

Which is why the presumption for anyone entering the USA should be that they are hostile. If the available info can’t affirmatively and overwhelmingly demonstrate the person is not a ‘baddie’ then they should get bounced back elsewhere. Sorry you didn’t win the birth potty of being born in the USA, sucks to be you, go away, don’t come back.
So, these guys were speaking up at school board meetings?
They’re not ultra-MAGA insurrectionists, so it’s no big deal.
I’m trying to figure out how they caught them? San Bernardino, Pulse nightclub, Boston bombers, etc.. All of those people were known to the fbi and weren’t prevented from carrying out their terrorist acts. So what makes anyone think this is anything more than political theater? FJB
