đ¨ JUST IN: Tom Homan warns of Iranian sleeper cells in the U.S.
URGENT: IRAN Issues Shock Decision…I KNEW It! TRUMP Most Respond It !!
“Joe Biden let MILLIONS of unknown gotaways cross the border. We don’t know who they are… but Iranian passports were found ditched south of the border with prayer mats.”
“What gives me comfort is that we don’t have Christopher Wray — we have Kash Patel. We don’t have Mayorkas — we have Kristi Noem.” đĽ
President Trumpâs border czar Tom Homan on Tuesday said Iranian terror cells are a âsignificant threatâ to Americans, stressing border security after the U.S. stepped into the conflict between Iran and Israel.
âLet me start with the Iranian threat. ⌠How big of a threat do these terrorist cells pose to Americans?â Fox Businessâs Maria Bartiromo asked.
âWell, itâs a significant threat,â Homan said.
âAnd I have been talking about this for four years,â he added. âWhen I was a Fox News contributor, before I came back with President Trump, and for four years I said my biggest concern is the open border causing the biggest national security vulnerability this country has ever seen.â
Homan suggested that these cells are âinvolved in a lot of crime,â including drug and sex trafficking, âbecause theyâve got to finance their activity.â
His comments come after the U.S. got involved in an ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran by bombing Iranian nuclear sites.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) this week warned that the threat of sleeper cells in the U.S. has ânever been higher,â though it cited no specific threats.
A memo sent Saturday from CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott, obtained by The Hillâs sister network NewsNation, said âthousands of Iranian nationals have been documented entering the United States illegally and countless more were likely in the known and unknown got-aways.â
âThough we have not received any specific credible threats to share with you all currently, the threat of sleeper cells or sympathizers acting on their own, or at the behest of Iran, has never been higher,â Scott added.
The Department of Homeland Security issued a National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin on Sunday warning of a âheightened threat environmentâ after the strikes.
