Middle Eastern Men Arrested Near Mexican Border with Steel Cylinders
Judicial Watch ^ | December 4, 2015

Posted on 12/04/2015 2:19:59 PM PST by jazusamo

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.

After all those reporters were let into the San Bernardino shooters' apartment, we'll never know the identity of those ME guys who the neighbors say were in and out of the garage. Bet we have a long, long list of unknown subjects and many who just happen not to show up on federal arrest records. Will we ever see January 2017?

Summary military judgement is appropriate here.

I remember stories of what happened to German infiltrators during WW II. This should not be different.

Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim President, is working hard to keep the borders open, is working hard to bring in Middle Easterners (some who will definitely be terrorists), and is working hard to hide the identities of Islamic terrorists so that others will be successful in killing Americans.

Do you advocate military judgement for Hussein Obama too?

I still remember Rush saying this many years ago:

“Botulinum Toxin is one of the deadliest substances known. A thimble full can kill one million people.
Saddam Hussein is said to have enough of this to kill the entire population of the Earth......twice.”

My thought too.. Our gubmint is downplaying the invasion, which is in essence helping to conceal the threat which is TREASON.

Congress, WHERE THE F*** ARE YOU?

Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim President, is working hard to bring a large number of Muslim terrorists into the country so that they can essentially disable this country. Remember the BOSTON Marathon Bombing? The police shut the area down. Imaging what the police will do when the bombs start going off in schools, malls and workplaces across Downtown, USA?

Hussein's Muslim brotherhood workers have the NSA data on all of the Congress criters. J Edgar Hoover was famous for his secret files on political figures. Hussein makes Hoover look like a child pornographer by comparison.

Sounds like a troll question. The President is entitled to due process.

Where we have to get to is that we just shoot them when they are caught crossing the border illegally. From the middle east, you cross the border illegally, you get shot and killed. Who’s next?

Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim President, wants his justice department to stop thoughts like yours from spreading.

From Syria to Mexico, Hussein is working hard to bring terrorism to your doorstep. And he's laughing at American's feeble efforts to stop his Muslim terrorists from destroying America.

I’m proud for you. Me too. But, my point was about getting “Farouked”, say, in some damn airport or facility with TPA types, where you are x-rayed, disarmed, unarmed, or your weapon is packed in the belly of a plane around the block.

Like the gentleman on Coast-to-Coast said last night. The goal is to cause Americans to BEG THE GUBMINT TO IMPOSE MARTIAL LAW. I hadn’t thought of it that way, but.. WOW.

Yes, I’ve thought a lot about that as well. Seems like more Federal Government lack of laws enforcement doesn’t it.

NOT enforcing our laws seems to be vogue anymore.

Steel cylinders could be:

- Pressure vessels to contain a gas, liquid or aerosol spray.

- vacuum bottles to keep something cold or hot for a few days walk.

- machined for weapon use (mortar tube, threaded barrel)

Cruz spoke on the Senate floor against Lynch. He told McConnell that he had to catch a plane to a scheduled event, so Mitch delayed the vote on Lynch for 5 hours just to make sure Cruz missed the vote.
