Federal agents are arresting Iranian nationals across America as fears grow about possible sleeper terror cells. These arrests come after U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Iran threatened to activate hidden cells inside America if attacked.
ICE agents arrested 130 Iranian nationals in just one week. Another 670 Iranians are already in ICE detention. These arrests happened in multiple states and cities. Officials say this is a major law enforcement priority.
One arrested Iranian was an army sniper caught in Alabama. Another had a loaded pistol in Houston. These individuals entered the country illegally. Their backgrounds show clear security risks to our communities.
Former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson calls this threat “the highest magnitude.” Even officials from previous administrations see the danger. Sleeper cells could strike anywhere in our homeland.
The border crisis under the last administration made this possible. Millions crossed illegally with no proper vetting. We still don’t know who many of these people are. This created a huge vulnerability for our nation.
Our current administration is taking strong action. ICE is conducting targeted operations nationwide. They’re working to stop threats before attacks happen. This is how we protect American families.
Sanctuary cities are especially vulnerable. Hospitals and public places there could be targets. These cities refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. That puts everyone at greater risk.
We must support our law enforcement heroes. They’re on the front lines keeping us safe. Strong borders and vigilant security are essential. America must always stay alert against those who wish us harm.
