U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents apprehended an Iranian man in his 40s on Sunday morning in Texas, as the number of 'special interest aliens' continues to climb.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection says four Iranians have been apprehended in Texas since the beginning of the month, adding that they are considered 'special interest aliens.' CBP sources told Fox News that one Iranian man in his 40s was taken into custody on Sunday morning in Eagle Pass, Texas, after crossing the southern border at about 3 a.m. The source added that the Iranian gave himself up to border protection agents after making the illegal crossing.
The man, along with the other three Iranians are considered 'special interest aliens' because they are from countries identified by the U.S. government as having conditions that promote or protect terrorism or potentially pose some sort of national security threat to the U.S. 'Special interest aliens' also undergo additional vetting and questioning after being apprehended.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters last week that Iran had 'broad complicity' when it comes to Hamas due to its support for the terrorist organization. Still, the security council had seen no evidence showing Iran was involved in the planning, resourcing or training of Hamas’ attack last week.
