FBI director warns of rise in terror threats against US, potential copy-cat attacks on America. Apparently the FBI’s obsession with chasing grandmas who protested election fraud on January 6th has been their all encompassing obsession.
Threats in the U.S. have been rising, since Hamas invaded Israel a week ago, FBI Director Christopher Wray and FBI officials said Sunday in a rare phone briefing for reporters.
“The threat is very much ongoing and in fact, the threat picture continues to evolve,” Wray said. “Here in the U.S., we cannot and do not discount the possibility that Hamas or other foreign terrorist organizations could exploit the conflict to call on their supporters to conduct attacks on our own soil.”
4th Iranian ‘special interest alien’ apprehended this month in Texas, US customs confirms
By Greg Wehner, Griff Jenkins, Fox News, Oct. 15, 2023:
US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) says four Iranians have been apprehended in Texas since the beginning of the month, adding that they are considered “special interest aliens.”
CBP sources told Fox News that one Iranian man in his 40s was taken into custody on Sunday morning in Eagle Pass, Texas, after crossing the southern border at about 3 a.m.
The source added that the Iranian gave himself up to border protection agents after making the illegal crossing.
The man, along with the other three Iranians are considered “special interest aliens” because they are from countries identified by the US government as having conditions that promote or protect terrorism or potentially pose some sort of national security threat to the US.
“Special interest aliens” also undergo additional vetting and questioning after being apprehended.
Last week, CBP agents apprehended two Lebanese nationals in Eagle Pass, who were also considered to be “special interest aliens.”
CBP has also apprehended an Egyptian man in his 40s. Separately, in the Rio Grande Valley Sector, officials have apprehended 19 Iranians and 17 Syrians since Monday.

The apprehensions come amid concerns of security and the potential of terrorism after Hamas-led terrorists invaded Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,300 Israelis and wounding thousands more.
Lebanon borders with Israel and is home of the terror group Hezbollah, which like Hamas, is designated a terror group by the State Department and is also funded by Iran.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters last week that Iran had “broad complicity” when it comes to Hamas due to its support for the terrorist organization.
