Federal authorities have deported some of the eight Tajik migrants suspected of having ties to ISIS and plotting at least one US attack before being rounded up in New York and two other cities.
The squad of terror suspects from Tajikistan crossed the US southern border, some illegally — and others using the Biden-Harris administration’s CBP One phone app.
“In close coordination with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), these individuals were detained in June, have remained in ICE custody since then, and either have already been removed from the United States or remain in ICE custody pending completion of their removal proceedings,” a Department of Homeland Security rep said in a statement.
“The arrest and removal of these individuals demonstrates the successful collaboration and partnership between DHS and FBI to disrupt and dismantle potential national security threats,” the representative said.
