(Washington Examiner) Border Patrol agents in southeastern Arizona arrested a Pakistani national on the FBI’s terrorism watch list who attempted to illegally enter the United States from Mexico last week, according to two federal sources.
Two senior Customs and Border Protection officials in Washington told the Washington Examiner on Monday afternoon that federal law enforcement agents stationed out of the Ajo, Arizona, station nabbed a noncitizen who is a known or suspected terrorist, according to the federal government’s data.
The unnamed Pakistani individual crossed only hours after pandemic policy Title 42 had ended and on the same day approximately 700 illegal immigrants were apprehended near Ajo, as the Washington Examiner previously reported.
