It seems that Homeland Security let eight Tajik terrorists wander around loose in Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia. They also had plans to blow something up. Alejandro Mayorkas has no idea how they got through his wide open border. At least some of them were in the ICE system but nobody knew they were terrorists or where to find them. When a multi-agency Joint Terrorism Task Force rounded them up for arrest and charges, the administration started scrambling to control the damage. Damage to their image, that is. Not damage potentially done by the terrorists that we don’t know about yet.
Homeland Security blew it
Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee, including chairman Mark Green, want answers from Biden officials “after an FBI counterterrorism sting in three major U.S. cities.” Feds rounded up eight Tajik nationals who’d jumped the Border and “were planning a terrorist bombing.”
Democrat officials are calling them “Tajik nationals” because they aren’t sure if the members of an Iranian ethnic group came from Afghanistan, Tajikistan or Uzbekistan. It doesn’t actually matter that much.
Green and his panel are demanding that Alejandro Mayorkas “disclose whether border agencies could have known of terrorism connections when the Tajik Eight first crossed.”
New York faces a serious terrorism threat following the arrest of eight Tajik nationals with suspected ties to Islamic State.

The Homeland Security Secretary also needs to explain “how those agencies handled the immigrants after their releases through to the moment the FBI alerted them about a plot.” The probable answers are that nope, they wouldn’t have a clue discovering the connection and they totally lost track of all eight.
The public has already learned that at least a few of them crossed more than a year ago. They were arrested by ICE earlier in June but not until the FBI located them as part of an undercover sting operation.
That had been underway for quite a while and the wiretaps were picking up all sorts of interesting things Alejandro Mayorkas doesn’t want you to know about. He may be in charge of Homeland Security but We the People don’t feel all that secure with him running the show.

Talking about bombs
At some point in the joint agency probe, one of the suspects was recorded on wiretap “talking about bombs.” An inside source with Homeland Security leaked to the press, “remember the Boston marathon? I’m afraid something like that might happen again or worse.” It’s amazing how dangerous a pressure cooker can be.
It seems that the “target who was subject to the wiretap was previously released by federal authorities at the southern border with a court date next year.” They didn’t catch his ISIS affiliation.
The Department of Homeland Security and FBI issued a joint statement relating “over the last few days, ICE agents arrested several non-citizens pursuant to immigration authorities.”
This is the “secure border” of the Biden administration.

That’s real informative. At least two of the terrorists were here for more than a year and one even used the nifty CBP One app to get in.
Recently, Christopher Wray has been making the rounds issuing warnings about “possible ISIS terror plots being staged on U.S. soil and the group’s potential for exploiting the southern border.” Now we know why.
“The FBI and DHS will continue working around the clock with our partners to identify, investigate, and disrupt potential threats to national security.“
