WASHINGTON (AP) — Eight people from Tajikistan with suspected ties to the Islamic State group have been arrested in the United States in recent days, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.
The arrests took place in New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles and the individuals, who entered the U.S. through the southern border, are being held on immigration violations, said the people, who were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation by name and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
The nature of their suspected connections to the IS was not immediately clear, but the individuals were being tracked by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, or JTTF. They were in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which made the arrests while working with the JTTF, pending proceedings to remove them from the country.
The individuals from Tajikistan entered the country last spring and passed through the U.S. government’s screening process without turning up information that would have identified them as potential terrorism-related concerns, said one of the people familiar with the matter.
The FBI and Department of Homeland Security issued a statement confirming the immigration-related arrests of “several non-citizens” but did not detail specifics. The agencies noted that the U.S. has been in a “heightened threat environment.”
FBI Director Christopher Wray has said the U.S. is facing accelerating threats from homegrown violent extremists as well as foreign terrorist organizations, particularly in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel.

Deport them all.
8 so FAR.
It’s the other 57,234 “known wolves” still “on the FBI’s radar” we should be worried about.
Now arrest the congresscritters with the same ties.
“Eight people with possible Islamic State ties arrested in US on immigration violations”
Normally I would want to support Trump, rather than have an Open Border with ISIS people entering, but Trump is just so brash, and the Tweets are so mean, that I just cannot bring myself to vote for him.

What about the other 8000+ that they have no clue about? There are one hell of a lot more that 8 terrorists roaming free!!!!!
And when the savages blow up a building in the USA will senile joe biden take responsibility?
-— NO.
That is useless. They will just re-enter through our open southern border.
How about just removing them from the gene pool?
But I suspect we will see more of these stories so Biden can claim all is under control. These terrorists are funded by friends of Biden and throw a few under the bus to make his re-election easier.
Then, if Trump wins, the FBI will pull back and we will get some terrorist events on our soil so the Democrats can blame Trump for them.
They got them on immigration violations but not because they are terrorists?
on immigration violations but not because they are terrorists
So, were the eight released to general population with a hearing scheduled in January?
Probably Jan.2030.
But did not detail specifics
Must be top CCP leaders
Like a cop grabbing one guy from a flash mob robbery.
“The arrests took place in New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles”
Wait, aren’t those sanctuary cities? How is this possible?
LBJ’s Hart-Celler act bill It will not shape the structure of our daily lives.
First our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants.
