Iranians and Egyptians Caught Sneaking Across Texas Border

Border Patrol agents arrested a group of Special Interest Aliens after they crossed the border from Mexico into Texas last week. The group included two Iranian nationals and two Egyptian migrants.

U.S. Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens posted a report on social media revealing the arrest of the four Special Interest Aliens (SIA). SIAs are migrants who come to the United States from countries with known ties to terrorism.

In December, Owens reported that over 10,000 SIAs had been apprehended during the first few months of the new fiscal year 2025.

The arrest of these migrants illustrates the potential dangers of the Biden border crisis, as U.S. Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) warned in October 2023. In August 2024, the senator introduced a bill to prohibit the Department of Homeland Security from releasing migrants with ties to terrorism into the United States.
