Two illegal immigrants from Jordan have been released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody after a still-mysterious incident in which they allegedly attempted to sneak into Marine Corps Base Quantico. Due to a lack of transparency from the Biden Administration, we still know very little about the disturbing incident.
Federal prosecutors agreed to release the two illegal immigrants in June on small bail amounts of $10,000 and $15,000. According to The New York Post reported on August 1. The decision to release these two illegal immigrants is disturbing given how little we know about their actions and motives. Police arrested the pair in early May for posing as Amazon delivery men and trying to crash a truck into the base's entrance. The Biden administration's lack of transparency about the incident is fueling concerns that the federal government is not taking seriously the terrorism threat posed by illegal immigration.
The administration has been slow to respond to congressional inquiries into the incident, dodged Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for suspects, and prioritized the privacy of illegal immigrants over the safety of Americans. The suspect's name was only revealed through a review of court records. Become public.
These facts leave Americans with many unanswered questions: Were the suspects lone wolves or working for a foreign government or terrorist organization? And what danger do they pose to the American public now that they're back on the streets?
More than three months after the incident, these questions remain unanswered. The motive for the attempted break-in remains unclear, but the fact that the two suspects are from a country known to be a hotbed of terrorism raises many red flags. These concerns are compounded by a recent congressional report that revealed that 99 individuals are on terrorist watch lists. Released Inflows into the U.S. have been increasing since the Biden administration took office.
Regardless of the outcome of this case, it is clear that Joe Biden and the White House have fostered a culture of lawlessness within our immigration system and have put national security and public safety on the back burner for a strong anti-border agenda. This case encapsulates the Biden Administration's absentee landlord approach to national security and shows why there should be no doubt about its commitment to keeping Americans safe.
Even though record numbers of illegal immigrants have been crossing the southern border since President Biden took office, his administration I swore The federal government strives to quickly remove illegal immigrants who pose a threat to public safety and national security. However, the way the current administration has handled this case proves the opposite. Instead of detaining these illegal immigrants pending trial, sentencing (if guilty), and ultimately deportation, the federal government has released them onto the streets without informing Congress or the public about the potential danger they pose. This is an unjust act, but it has been part of how the Biden administration has approached immigration since day one.
ICE Detention Facilities Remain empty Despite the influx of millions of illegal immigrants in recent years, the Biden administration Catch and release This program makes it clear to anyone seeking entry to the United States that they will be released into the American community as soon as they cross the border, creating a massive incentive for illegal immigration. The number of suspected terrorists released into the United States over the past few years is staggering. Even more frightening is the number of dangerous individuals who have been released into the United States without our knowledge.
More than 1.7 million illegal immigrants have “fled” Over Since President Biden took office, they have been crossing the southern border illegally, meaning they have crossed the border illegally without being apprehended by the Border Patrol. We have no idea how many dangerous criminals or suspected terrorists may be among this group because of the White House's reckless policies.
Having a firm grasp of who enters our country is essential to the prosperity of every nation, especially a powerful one like the United States. Foreign nationals from countries that are hotbeds of terrorism and extremism must be thoroughly vetted and their identities verified. As a result of the current Administration's disastrous immigration policies, there are currently millions of undocumented foreign nationals living in our communities in the United States.
The decision to release two Jordanian nationals charged with attempting to break into a military base is the latest example of the Biden Administration's laxity in allowing chaos into the U.S. immigration system. These reckless actions could have dire consequences for U.S. national security for years to come.
