Thanks To Democrats, Potential Iranian Terrorists Are Already On American Soil
The Federalist ^ | 3 Mar, 2026 | Jordan Boyd

It’s no secret that Iranian terrorists are here in the U.S. Democrats’ open border policies made their infiltration much easier.

U.S. counterterrorism agencies are on high alert for potential retaliation after the American government joined Israel in launching a coordinated operation named Epic Fury against Iran over the weekend.

Already, at least two Americans have died and more than a dozen have been injured after a 53-year-old gunman, reportedly clothed in an Iranian flag T-shirt and “Property of Allah” sweatshirt, opened fire at an Austin bar one day after the strikes commenced. While it’s unclear if this alleged terrorism is linked to a larger revenge campaign led by Iran or a lone wolf sympathizer attack, the consensus is that there is a heightened threat of Islamic violence against Americans on their own soil.

It’s no secret that Iranian terrorists are here in the U.S. and have been for nearly 50 years. For decades now, Iran worked to embed its Hezbollah operatives in America and nearby Latin American countries such as Nicaragua. These sleeper cells, often operated by a covert wing of Hezbollah dubbed “Unit 910,” are designed to coordinate and carry out “assassinations and attacks” when activated.

Iranian intelligence services have also demonstrated a recent presence in the U.S. Several of the country’s foreign intelligence operatives were indicted in New York in 2021 for allegedly plotting to kidnap a “U.S. journalist and human rights activist.”

Fears that Islamic radicals were solidifying their hold in the hometowns of Americans only increased when Democrats and the Biden administration opened the floodgates for millions of foreigners, including Iranians, to illegally enter and stay in the U.S. This drastic lapse in national security came just one year after Iran vowed revenge against President Donald Trump and Americans for the January 2020 assassination of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force General Qasem Soleimani.

Between the 2021 and 2024 fiscal years, U.S. Customs and Border Protection apprehended 1,504 Iranian nationals. Nearly half of them, 729, were ultimately released into the U.S. Tens of thousands of suspected terrorists also took advantage of Democrats’ catch-and-release regime to wheedle their way into the states.

Some Iranians could have slipped into the U.S. as some of the estimated 1.7 million gotaways who evaded Border Patrol after finding their way through the southern border, many of whom took flights to countries south of the border and then traveled north. Others were smuggled across the U.S.-Canada border with “fraudulent or altered passports.” Though under Biden, they didn’t really have to sneak around.

Despite originating from one of the 24 nations designated as “national security concern[s]” due to Islamic terrorism affiliations, Iranians were affirmatively authorized entry to America as “special interest aliens” (SIAs) under the Biden administration’s CBP One app expansions.

There is little evidence that those who entered and stayed in the states as SIAs underwent the “rigorous security vetting”promised by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Records obtained by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation, for example, showed Biden’s Department of Homeland Security approved entry for 99.7 percent of the foreigners who applied for it through CBP One between January and September 2023.

“Because these approved entrances have remained unknown to the American public, the Biden administration has not been questioned about whether it conducted enhanced security screening for these migrants (as was the practice with those caught crossing illegally) before affirming them for parole through ports,” CIS’s then-Senior National Security Fellow Todd Bensman wrote in 2023.

Despite the threats posed by the record-breaking influx of illegal border crossings under Biden, Democrats are scheming to stall DHS funding unless Republicans agree to kneecap Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol’s ability to arrest and deport illegal aliens.

But the MSM is spinning as hard as it can to convince Americans that ICE is just arresting immigrants with families who have been working here peacefully for decades with no arrest records.

Have there not been more deaths in the U.S. from attacks on citizens by Iranian “sympathizers” since this Iranian action last week, than there have been U.S. soldiers killed in Iran?

“It’s no secret that Iranian terrorists are here in the U.S. Democrats’ open border policies made their infiltration much easier.”

Got into a furious argument with a lefty in the family - young, over-educated brain full of mush - who adamantly refuses to believe there are Iranian terrorist sleeper cells here in the US.

I hope I don’t have to say “I TOLD YOU SO!” - but I think it’s coming.

If they detonate, I hope it’s in Rehoboth Beach.

And yet, when these terrorists start attacking us again, the media will blame Trump.

Democrats are hoping big time that our attacks on Iran fail. They are absolutely disgusting.

Trump should announce that any jihadis killed in the US while committing an act of terror, there will not be any bathing of your body. Go to your Allah filthy like you lived. Then you’ll cremated or buried upside down in a pig carcass when we get around to it.

Zero knew what he was doing. Mayorkas was building his favorite minorities and holding to Dem policy of flooding the country with mo' voters and their descendants. Biden... well, he did whatever Rice and the gang (i.e. Obama) told him to, and possibly thought it was his idea.

"Trump's fault."

All this while the Biden admin was preoccupied fighting the threat Sleepy Joe Biden called “the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland:” White Supremacy.

Remember the terror caused for three weeks in 2002 by the shooters John Allen Muhammad and John Lee Malvo? They caused commerce to be significantly effected in the Maryland and DC areas by random shootings from out of the trunk of their car.

People simply putting gas in their cars were cut down from long range. Others were also shoot with no warning.

And this chaos was really caused by amateurs. A dedicated systematic campaign of terror will not be countered easily.
