Over 150 have been arrested, but the whereabouts of over 50 remain unknown, officials said. ICE is looking to arrest them on immigration charges when they are found.
The Department of Homeland Security has identified over 400 immigrants who have come to the U.S. from Central Asia and elsewhere as “subjects of concern” because they were brought by an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network, three U.S. officials tell NBC News.
While over 150 of them have been arrested, the whereabouts of over 50 remain unknown, the officials said, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement is looking to arrest them on immigration charges when they are located.
“In this case, it was the information that suggested a potential tie to ISIS because of some of the individuals involved in [smuggling migrants to the border] that led us to want to take extra care,” said a senior Biden administration official, “and out of an abundance of caution make sure that we exercised our authority in the most expansive and appropriate way to mitigate risk because of this potential connection being made.”
The official added that since ICE began arresting migrants brought to the U.S. by the ISIS-linked smuggling group several months ago, no information has emerged tying them to a threat to the U.S. homeland.
Many of the more than 400 migrants crossed the southern border and were released into the U.S. by Customs and Border Protection because they were not on the government’s terrorism watchlist, according to the three officials, and the agency did not have information raising concerns at the time.

DHS identifies over 400 ILLEGAL ALIENS brought to the U.S. by an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network
There, fixed it
Who would isis bring in here? Girl Scouts to sell cookies? Nuns to open a charitable hospital? or bearded savages intent on killing infidels, raping women, and slashing childrens’ throats and getting their 72 virgins?
Great going, joe.
All part of the plan. Create chaos so bad that the masses will turn to government to fix the problem that government created.
The clowns calling themselves “americans” are in for a rude awakening. America is about ready to get its ass kicked by the foreign invaders and we aren’t going to be able to do a damn thing to stop it. Congratulations to all you far leftwing nut voters out there. The demented biatch you installed in the White Hut is about to take you under. Don’t count on the military to bail your asses out. The U.S. military no longer exists.
“”Some of the 150 who were arrested have already been deported, the officials said. The whereabouts of other people in 17 states are known, and they may be arrested soon. Other migrants may have already left the U.S. voluntarily.””
The article doesn’t explain WHAT information led them to the ones they rounded up. Why not?
They have them narrowed down to 17 EXACT states?? From what we learned about the Boston Marathon bombers, I’m sure the authorities know exactly WHERE to look. The illegals would be GOOD Muslims and attending the local mosques in all the cities in those states. Round them ALL up!! Do it like cities used to do to round up criminals - a phony event that would attract them to attend. Sure, there was a good movie using that as a plot but it happened in real life also.
Not only mosque attendance but rentals - houses/apartments - they have to live somewhere. Even buyers of local real estate..names in city/county records would have names that are easily recognized as to their origin.
Law enforcement has to be PROACTIVE. To heck with worrying about someone’s feelings!
Only made possible by Biden’s open border.
How timely of DHS to notify ICE. Had they been vetted before entering, this would have been stopped.
For that matter, if OBiden was following immigration law, none of the 11 million would be here.
EC
Time to impeach Mayorkass. This happened on his watch. An American and not a fleabag refugee should have been given this job.
Are terrorist organizations tired of paying top dollar to the Cartels when THEY can also sell US citizenship to 'their' folks? Or have they got the goods on Biden?
Are terrorist organizations tired of paying top dollar to the Cartels when THEY can also sell US citizenship to 'their' folks? Or have they got the goods on Biden like so many...
No threat to the country! YET!
