Four Migrants Detained in San Diego for Terror Ties

Three Palestinian migrants and one Turkish migrant suspected of having ties to terrorist groups were detained by US Border Patrol agents after illegally crossing the San Diego-Mexico border. One of the Palestinians reportedly had troubling images on his phone, including a masked man with an AK-47, raising concerns about potential terrorist affiliations. Federal authorities have been alerted to look for individuals connected to Palestinian terror groups following the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas. The investigation has been handed over to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, highlighting the ongoing security threats at the border. Overwhelmed border agents have expressed concerns about their inability to adequately vet the influx of migrants, lacking access to international criminal databases. This incident underscores the challenges faced by US border security amid rising tensions related to global conflicts.
