Federal officials are warning that members of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and Hezbollah could be crossing through the southern border, according to an internal Oct. 20 memo exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The San Diego Field Office Intelligence Division of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sent the memo warning that due to the war between Israel and Hamas, there could be encounters of terror-tied individuals who are seeking to travel to or from the Middle East via transit across the southern border. Hamas, PIJ and Hezbollah, all of which are U.S.-designated terrorist organizations, have been committing attacks on Israel in a war that began with a surprise attack on hundreds of civilians on Oct. 7.
“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.
Amid record illegal immigration at the southern border, Border Patrol has recorded a major influx of encounters of individuals whose names appear on the terror watchlist.
Border patrol encounters with illegal aliens on the terror watchlist at the southern and northern borders hit 172 in fiscal year 2023, up from 98 in fiscal year 2022.
The memo also lists several “questions of interest,” such as questions related to individuals’ personal or familial associations with “Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)” or other similar groups.
CBP didn’t immediately respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

"motivated by ideology"
Hmmm, WHAT "ideology" might that be? It's a mystery.
You can be SURE that Hamas infiltrated the United States BEFORE they attacked Israel.
They consider this after almost 3 years ?
No kidding! You don’t say! WE have been saying that since Diaper Brain became president...

“MAY?!?!?!”
I’d say count on it.
I don’t find this the least bit credible. Our southern border is as secure as our elections. The real problem is those pesky Catholics that go to Latin mass and moms reading from books at school board meetings.
They have been wasting too much time going after Trump to be bothered with terrorists, Besides we now have them in our House of Representatives.
It’s OK, just as long as they aren’t wearing MAGA hats.
If 100 terrorists were caught, that means probably thousands got through.
“They”(Hamas and Hezbollah) will do whatever Soros and the progressives tell them to do. We are not in control of what is happening or will happen. It is all a really bad dream. They have an explanation for everything. Just relax and see what the next move will be. Load your gun and sit down and wait.
“Fidiots”
Why are they idiots?? This is all working according to their plan. They are geniuses.
Rule #1: The elites want you dead.
I think they will wait until after the 24 election. Trump is right these people are evil but they are not stupid. They know Traitor Joe will get rightly get the blame if they do a 9/11 using terrorists who came across the border. They do not want Trump to win.

Heads up
No, pretty sure we (collectively) are the fidiots. I know lots that are and lots that are NOT. I’m sure you are also aware of many. At least 81 million. 🤔
🙏🇮🇱👍
I thought MAGA Republicans were the enemy?
Shocking
