Five young Middle Eastern men were apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol this week in an Arizona town situated about 30 miles from the Mexican border, law enforcement and other sources told Judicial Watch.
Border Patrol agents spotted the men crossing a ranch property in the vicinity of Amado, which is located about 35 miles south of Tucson and has a population of 275. Two of the Middle Eastern men were carrying stainless steel cylinders in backpacks, JW's sources say, alarming Border Patrol officials enough to call the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for backup. A multitude of federal agents descended on the property and the two men carrying the cylinders were believed to be taken into custody by the FBI.
Only three of the men's names were entered in the Border Patrol's E3 reporting system, which is used by the agency to track apprehensions, detention hearings and removals of illegal immigrants. E3 also collects and transmits biographic and biometric data including fingerprints for identification and verification of individuals encountered at the border. The other two men were listed as "unknown subjects," which is unheard of, according to a JW federal law enforcement source. "In all my years I've never seen that before," a veteran federal law enforcement agent told JW.
The disturbing incident comes just days after six men--one from Afghanistan, five from Pakistan--were arrested in nearby Patagonia, a quaint ranch town that sits 20 miles north of the Mexican border city of Nogales. Federal authorities have confirmed the November 17 arrests and a local news outlet published a story that includes an official statement from the Border Patrol. Special Agent Kurt Remus in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Phoenix headquarters told JW that the agency's Joint Terrorism Task Forces vetted and interviewed the six men and determined that there were "no obvious signs of terrorism" so they were returned to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.
However, Special Agent Remus told JW that there is no record of this week's incident in Amado and that he knew nothing about it. JW also put in a call to DHS headquarters, but received no response. In the last year JW has broken a number of stories involving serious terrorist threats on the southern border that were disputed on the record by various Obama administration officials. Among these is an April report--confirmed by high-level Mexican authorities--about ISIS operating camps near the U.S. border in areas known as Anapra and Puerto Palomas west of Ciudad Juárez in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
Last fall JW was the first to report on an Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) plot orchestrated from Ciudad Juárez to attack the U.S. with car bombs or other vehicle borne improvised explosive devices (VBIED). As a result of JW's reporting Ft. Bliss, the U.S. Army base in El Paso, increased security. The threat was imminent enough to place agents across a number of Homeland Security, Justice and Defense agencies on alert. A few weeks later JW reported that four ISIS terrorists were arrested by federal authorities and the Texas Department of Public Safety in McAllen and Pharr.
Obama might invite them to the White House and appoint them positions in his evil homeland security dept., already staffed by some 70 people on the terror watch list.

Thank goodness for Kindle for storage, readability and economy in buying books.
Thanks
I second your Kindle comments. I signed up for the unlimited. It's about $10 bucks a month, with first month free if they're running a promotion. IIRC, they have over 1 million books in the library. For me it has more than payed for itself, with sharing and all. Some books aren't much more than booklets, but most are complete issues at the time of this post.
Also, they have IPad and even PC apps free. I prefer reading on the IPad, but the PC app is great if you want to copy text and paste for future ref. and etc.
I’ve no doubt you’re right, plus I’d bet the farm there’s some really ticked off 0bama lapdogs this much came out.
They are Gutless Cowards.
And they wonder why Donald Trump is exploding in the polls.
And that my friends (Article III, Sec. 3) .. is why the DemocRATS cannot be trusted with the security of this nation; and it also exposes why the DemocRATS HATE THE CONSTITUTION and want to get rid of it.
As long as the DemocRATS are willing to excuse and hide and LIE, and LIE, and LIE about the terrorists who have come here to destroy this country .. WE CAN NO LONGER TRUST THEM TO KEEP US SAFE.
I totally agree.
Or, were the cylinders part of some weapons being built (right here in the USA ..??).
Being they were stainless steel cylinders there’s many possibilities and most if not all of them bad, in my view.
God be with you, annie. Thankfully, we are not disarmed yet, but yes, we are in a tragic twelve months for our once Christian nation and a seditionist in the White House and a Congress that doesn’t really seem to mind.
It is the Congress that follows him on everything that is the scary part. What are they thinking? that Obama will protect them against his Muslim Brotherhood, how naive can they be, as they watch their congressional brother be beheaded. Bet they will be begging for some Concealed Carry person/silent majority militia to come and help them.
God be with you as well Rita.....and Merry CHRISTMAS I am so thankful that our Lord gives us the Peace that passes all understanding during times like this. HIS PERFECT WILL, WILL BE DONE......every knew shall bow.
In this part of the county we have a whole Division equivalent of a Reinforced Division of Gun owning with Ammo Vets.
Cesium 137 is also water soluble. Dropped into a water supply while not especially lethal due to dilution it would have massive psychological impact and be a real SOB to get rid of. Think weapon of mass disruption.
State. County Law I think - Temps have to be beautiful. Tornadoes are not allowed, all Snow and/ice on sidewalks or streets has to be gone before noon. LOL
you could fit a 1kt Davy Crockett in there easy. That’s like 1000 car bombs in a bottle. About 2000 dead civilians.
Thank you, annie.
I believe our Congress is all together globalist now, both Democrats and Republicans. There is virtually no opposition to the Marxists in power, and a great deal of money, deals, and influence peddling coming in, from the outside, that has stolen our Republic. The House and the Senate are mules for Wall Street, K Street, Chamber of Commerce, Business Round Table, donor class and the TPP crowd, who have profited mightily by the House and the Senate action and inaction. There are no other explanations left.
