EXCLUSIVE: Texas law enforcement arrested an Iranian illegal immigrant at the southern border whose name and date of birth subsequently turned out to be a match on the FBI’s terror watch list, Fox News has learned.
Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) arrested 29-year-old Alireza Heidari last week after a traffic stop involving a human smuggler at the border in Val Verde County, Texas as part of Operation Lone Star.
Heidari was being smuggled in the vehicle along with four other illegal immigrants. He was located in the trunk. Fox is told that Heidari was handed over to Border Patrol custody and later determined to be a match of the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB)

National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd noted that it was Texas DPS, not Border Patrol, that ultimately apprehended Heidari.

Thank you Fox News for not calling these border-jumpers “migrants.”
We have to stop foreign invaders from penetrating our borders.

Dang - too much of a hurry and juggling several things - not to mention sleepy LOL
I recall a couple of guys from Sri Lanka were interviewed after they waltzed across our southern border. They complained their journey took them two whole weeks.
Gotta admire their courage in undertaking such a long and arduous journey ...

What you meant is obvious.
Thank you - I was playing a game on my phone too
Fallout Shelter - it might be training......(nervous laugh)
What’s the matter with him? Didn’t he think to use an alias?
Update: Border patrol and FBI says he is not confirmed as on terror watch list.
