US Justice Dept on High Alert Over 1,000 Iranians Entered Under Biden

Attorney General Pam Bondi raised alarms about the security threat posed by Iranian nationals entering the United States during President Joe Biden's administration, noting that over 1,500 Iranians were apprehended at the southern border, with 729 released into the country. Bondi emphasized that the Department of Justice and other agencies are on high alert amid escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran, particularly following U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. While she declined to discuss potential Iranian sleeper cells in an open setting, Homeland Security has warned of increased domestic threats including cyberattacks and extremist violence linked to the conflict. These concerns come as part of the broader geopolitical struggle involving Israel and Iran. Additionally, Americans Against Antisemitism founder Dov Hikind highlighted ongoing threats to U.S. homeland security connected to the faltering ceasefire between Israel and Iran. The situation underscores heightened vigilance within U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies regarding Iranian activities on American soil.
