Report: Terrorists from Taliban, ISIS sneak in with migrants washex.am/2DKNK1X
A new report on the security flaws at the U.S. border confirms President Trump’s claims that terrorists from mostly Middle East criminal networks have hidden among migrants entering the country illegally.
There have been at least 15 confirmed cases of terrorists from groups like ISIS and the Taliban trying to enter the nation, and at least 100 total migrants from nations that harbor terrorist groups have crossed the border since 2001, the year of the 9/11 attacks.
“... facts would support his contention that Middle Easterners from Syria, Iraq, and Egypt, South Asia and the Horn of Africa, do indeed routinely travel the same routes as Hondurans to the U.S. southern border and that some terrorist suspects have traveled among them,”
Because of tight security and classification, the report noted that many more terrorists may have entered or been caught, but the government hasn’t revealed those cases. The 15 are from public records and court documents.
In one famous case, a Somali who crossed over the Mexico border went on to Canada and stabbed a police officer and rammed others while carrying an ISIS flag last year.
