Federal officials have sounded the alarm on the potential infiltration of members belonging to Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), and Hezbollah through the southern border, as highlighted in an internal memo dated Oct. 20, exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The recent conflict between Israel and Hamas, which escalated with terror attacks on civilians on October 7, has the federal authorities on high alert.
The San Diego Field Office Intelligence Division of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sent the memo warning about potential encounters with members linked to terrorist organizations in the US Southern border.
“San Diego Field Office Intelligence Unit assesses that individuals inspired by, or reacting to the current Israel-Hamas conflict may attempt travel to or from the area of hostilities in the Middle East via circuitous transit across the Southwest border,” the memo reads.
“Foreign fighters motivated by ideology or mercenary soldiers of fortune may attempt to obfuscate travel to or from the US to or from countries in the Middle East through Mexico,” the memo adds.

FBI Director Chris Wray issued a dire warning about the rise of violent extremism.
“Before I get into some of the specific ways we’re doing that work together, I want to take a moment to offer my heartfelt condolences to the people of Israel, and share the outrage that I know we all feel at the sheer brutality and disregard for innocent lives there,” said Wray.
“History has been witness to antisemitic and other forms of violent extremism for far too long. Whether that be from foreign terrorist organizations, or those inspired by them, or domestic violent extremists motivated by their own racial animus, the targeting of a community because of their faith is totally unacceptable,” he added.
Wray indicated that there has been a significant uptick in reported threats following the attacks, cautioning the public to remain vigilant for “lone actors.”
“In this heightened environment, there’s no question we’re seeing an increase in reported threats, and we’ve got to be on the lookout, especially for lone actors who may take inspiration from recent events to commit violence of their own.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, September now holds the record for most encounters with illegal aliens at an alarming 269,735. Then total up the fiscal year for 2023 and the number is at 2.47 million encounters with illegals! That is the highest for any year on record. These statistics are from Customs and Border Protection.
TGP reported that US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) reported that four Iranians were apprehended at the open US southern border in the last month.
The Iranians were considered “special interest aliens.”

In the fiscal year 2023, 736 known or suspected terrorists (KST) were apprehended at the U.S. border as of September 15, a month before the terror attack. 66% of those apprehended were allegedly at the northern border.
In fiscal year 2023, Border Patrol apprehended:
151 migrants with positive terrorism watchlist matches who entered the U.S. illegally along the southern border
216 people, including U.S. citizens, on the terrorist watchlist who had been stopped at the southern border
I live in Texas. I fly and American/Israeli flag. My favorite numbers are, 8 7 0
We left the border open and permitted anyone who wanted to illegally enter the U.S. to enter. Why is anyone surprised that terrorists may now be here in large numbers?
A bit too late — slamming the barn door after the horses have bolted. The damage can’t be stopped now, only an attempt to mitigate the carnage.
It only took 19 to pull off a 9/11 attack. We’re so doomed.
Maybe they’ll do America a favor and attack LA this time. Portland would be good too
Thanks Jo Jo. If Patton was alive, he’d kick your goatsmellin’ Scranton “Puerto Rican” ass out behind the gym.
Invited into our country by Joe Biden.

We have been sold out by traitors, A/K/A, Senators, Representatives, and the Occupier of the White House. Also we are being ruled by a Criminal Cartel, A/K/A, the Deep State. To sum it up: WE have been sold down the river by traitors and are being ruled by criminals.
What the hell is that wetback, Mayorkas doing about it?!
Frantically looking for aircraft to disperse them quicker into the heartland before the 2024 election................
Shocker? I’m not shocked. Just shocked a bit that the FBI admits it.
Too busy looking for Trump supporters.
No matter which prominent side wins in our immigration debates, the U.S. loses for a simple reason: the contest pits people who hate the point against people who miss the point.
On one side are the large-I Immigrationists, individuals who behave as if immigration is always good, always necessary, must never be questioned, and must be the one constant in an otherwise ever-changing universe of policy. They’re usually identified as “leftists.” On the other are small-i immigrationists, people who believe immigration is generally good, generally necessary, should never be questioned in principle, and must in some form be the one constant in an otherwise ever-changing universe of policy. They’re usually identified as “conservatives.”

..... 85 to 90 percent of our post-1967 immigrants have come from the Third World, and 70 to 90 percent of them have voted Democrat upon naturalization. What’s more, despite #WalkAway fantasies, this shows no actual signs of changing — certainly not enough to make the pro-invasion Democrat party fall out of love with their voter-importation scheme (AKA immigration).

In truth, it would be better if our immigrants were robots (which, incidentally, are poised to fill many jobs in coming years, a fact underlining why immigration isn’t necessary “because we need workers”). Robots, after all, really do just perform an economic role and don’t come with beliefs, intellect, and free will (at least not yet). Immigrants do because they’re human beings.
So treat them as such, is the lesson here. This means evaluating them based on all their human dimensions and not just reckoning them as economic cogs, as objects. “They pick our grapes” or “They do our tech” may be a good argument for automation, but for immigration, it’s Marxist to the core.
That’s right. It’s pretty obvious Trump will be going to jail. He can’t beat 91 counts. One of them will find his honey in jail before the 2024 election. The result will be chaos.
I see the US going into CWII starting soon. Everyone knows that the Southern Border is our Achilles heel. With Trump out of the way, there is nothing to stop the Democrats except terror organizations killing US citizens here. When that happens, it will be full blown revolution.
Three years too late.
They’d love to do something on Halloween...on children.
Think: CANDY.....................

Just waiting for Biden to give them the go ahead to do their work.
