ICE Seeks Assistance Finding Jordanian National Linked to Quantico Breach

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is seeking public assistance to locate Mohammad Khair Hasan Mohammad Dabous, a 28-year-old Jordanian national accused of attempting to breach Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia. Dabous, who entered the U.S. on a student visa in 2022 but did not attend classes, and another Jordanian national were arrested after allegedly trying to drive a box truck onto the base without proper credentials. Military police stopped the vehicle using security barriers, and both men were detained before being released on bond; Dabous is now believed to be in Orange County, California. ICE has labeled him a 'person of interest' and urges anyone with information to come forward, raising national security concerns and prompting investigations. Dabous claims the incident resulted from a language barrier, stating they were making deliveries for an Amazon subcontractor, though authorities noted the lack of credentials and suspicious behavior. The case has sparked debate over immigration enforcement and security procedures regarding foreign nationals on student visas.
