Five young Middle Eastern men were apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol this week in an Arizona town situated about 30 miles from the Mexican border, law enforcement and other sources told Judicial Watch.
Border Patrol agents spotted the men crossing a ranch property in the vicinity of Amado, which is located about 35 miles south of Tucson and has a population of 275. Two of the Middle Eastern men were carrying stainless steel cylinders in backpacks, JW's sources say, alarming Border Patrol officials enough to call the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for backup. A multitude of federal agents descended on the property and the two men carrying the cylinders were believed to be taken into custody by the FBI.
Only three of the men's names were entered in the Border Patrol's E3 reporting system, which is used by the agency to track apprehensions, detention hearings and removals of illegal immigrants. E3 also collects and transmits biographic and biometric data including fingerprints for identification and verification of individuals encountered at the border. The other two men were listed as "unknown subjects," which is unheard of, according to a JW federal law enforcement source. "In all my years I've never seen that before," a veteran federal law enforcement agent told JW.
The disturbing incident comes just days after six men--one from Afghanistan, five from Pakistan--were arrested in nearby Patagonia, a quaint ranch town that sits 20 miles north of the Mexican border city of Nogales. Federal authorities have confirmed the November 17 arrests and a local news outlet published a story that includes an official statement from the Border Patrol. Special Agent Kurt Remus in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Phoenix headquarters told JW that the agency's Joint Terrorism Task Forces vetted and interviewed the six men and determined that there were "no obvious signs of terrorism" so they were returned to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.
However, Special Agent Remus told JW that there is no record of this week's incident in Amado and that he knew nothing about it. JW also put in a call to DHS headquarters, but received no response. In the last year JW has broken a number of stories involving serious terrorist threats on the southern border that were disputed on the record by various Obama administration officials. Among these is an April report--confirmed by high-level Mexican authorities--about ISIS operating camps near the U.S. border in areas known as Anapra and Puerto Palomas west of Ciudad Juárez in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
Last fall JW was the first to report on an Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) plot orchestrated from Ciudad Juárez to attack the U.S. with car bombs or other vehicle borne improvised explosive devices (VBIED). As a result of JW's reporting Ft. Bliss, the U.S. Army base in El Paso, increased security. The threat was imminent enough to place agents across a number of Homeland Security, Justice and Defense agencies on alert. A few weeks later JW reported that four ISIS terrorists were arrested by federal authorities and the Texas Department of Public Safety in McAllen and Pharr.
Thousands of em..across the Nation...are likely preparing similar anti “social events” to enliven the “Holiday” “Season”.
Drat, my husband and I go to those two towns, Patagonia and Amado, for day trips for the lakes and the scenery...of the Border Patrol situated in the hills. The camp host told us that he has had illegals surrender to him. Most of us carry as we hike.
I’m thinking twice before loading up the dogs and the vintage Scotch Kady cooler, even though the weather has been so great.
We are going to wake up one morning to news footage of the carnage that takes place when the IEDs start going off in our streets .
ISIS is laughing at us as they plot their next attack. Something tells me we ain’t seen nothing yet.
Where we have to get to is that we just shoot them when they are caught crossing the border illegally. From the middle east, you cross the border illegally, you get shot and killed. Who’s next?
Lots of bang for the buck there.
Is that what the Jihadi were bringing in?
Who is that Actor? He makes the BEST Bad Guy EVER!
Heard they wanted to fill their growlers with some nice American IPA. Of course Obama agrees with them. Beer summit
Catch any of them, immediate execution is authorized. Unfortunately that will not happen as they get invited to the WH by the chief traitor. I suspect a President Trump might handle them completely different than odumbo.
I live in a rural county not far from several medium size cities.
And driving home this evening I thought how easy it would be to walk into one of the local churches on a Sunday morning where congregations of 200 or so people are attending and kill them all.
After all, Christians are almost as bad as Jews tho a jihadist.
Expect it. Prepare for it. The cops can't be everywhere.
I think sheriff's are going to be forced into deputizing specific people to guard only specific places, who will carry AR-15’s or AK-47’s with 30 round mags.
But that could never happen here, right?
How many at that Christmas party thought it could happen to them?
“What was in the tanks?”
That is the question.
Not around here. I did not know that we had that many muzzies around here or that there was even a moske in our town, but apparently there is one somewhere around here. A couple of guys I know have goats they raise and they sell them to the muzzies, at inflated prices I would suspect because these are red neck types, not liberals. :-)
That’s not dangerous! It’s just a pressure cooker! What harm could some young Muslim guys do with that?
Our salvation will be Europe.
Europe is going to explode into violence never seen before in the Western World, other than WWII.
It will happen long before our November 2016 election.
This country will be shocked and terrified to the point that we will no longer tolerate Washington, DC, as it is today.
Probably just steel cylinder collectors.
What are you, some kind of Islamophobe?
