Suspected Jordanian Terrorist Captured by US Federal Authorities

As reported by US Federal authorities, a Jordanian migrant and supposed terrorist was arrested trying to cross the northern border illegally earlier this month, and the authorities assume he’s a terrorist. Mohammad Hasan Abdellatif Albana was expelled from the US on Nov. 15 after Border Patrol agents noticed him near the northern border in Lynden, Washington, where he was detected sneaking into the country, Immigration and Customs Enforcement stated. A U.S. immigration official identified Albana as a

“known or suspected terrorist,”

the agency stated. 

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Seattle Field Office Director Drew H. Bostock expressed the agency is

“committed to the removal of noncitizens who pose a threat to the national security of the U.S.”

“Our officers perform these removals dutifully as a part of a federal law enforcement effort to protect Pacific Northwest Communities,”

stated Bostock.

During the Biden government, the number of terror-tied migrants captured by federal border authorities attained record levels. Border Patrol agencies caught 300 migrants whose names occur on the terror watchlist travelling both the southern and northern borders illegally during that period, according to federal data. Border agents captured Palestinian Omar Shehada, 35, whose name was recorded on the terror watchlist for operating explosives/arms for an unnamed terror company, at the New Mexico border in August.

Border agencies near San Diego also detected three Palestinian migrants and another from Turkey, all of whom they chose were terror suspects linked with an unnamed terrorist organisation, according to a revealed memo previously obtained by The Post. Border Patrol said that with overwhelming tides of illegal migrants and not enough time to vet them, they’ve knowingly dismissed bad actors into the country.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) is tasked with enforcing the nation’s immigration laws by identifying, capturing, and removing from the U.S. noncitizens who pose a danger to communities, those who pose national security situations, and those who disregard the integrity of the nation’s immigration system.
