The danger of foreign sleeper cells operating in the US “has never been higher,” according to US Customs and Border Protection

A memo from CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott states that “thousands of Iranian nationals have been documented entering the United States illegally and countless more were likely in the known and unknown got-a-ways.”

The danger of foreign sleeper cells operating in the US “has never been higher,” according to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

“Though we have not received any specific credible threats to share with you all currently, the threat of sleeper cells or sympathizers acting on their own, or at the behest of Iran has never been higher,” Scott added.

The memo instructs CBP personnel to remain “vigilant.”

Illegal border crossings by individuals from potentially hostile nations skyrocketed under the Biden administration. Many were “encountered” by border patrol and then released into the US interior, under a deliberate Biden policy.

CBP date indicates that encounters with Chinese migrants at the southern border started rising in the 2021 fiscal year, when about 450 Chinese migrants were encountered at the border. In 2022, that number jumped to 2,176.

In 2023, the number massively skyrocketed to 24,314 encounters, including over 3,000 children. In 2024, the number of Chinese migrants encountered continued to rise with 36,920 encounters right up until Aug. 31 – including 5,878 minors, 152 of them unaccompanied.

On Saturday, US B2 bombers attacked three nuclear sites in Iran, at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, after more than a week of uncertainty about US intentions following Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, ballistic-missile sites and senior military figures.

In a post on Truth Social last night, President Donald Trump congratulated the US military and said, “NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE.”

In a separate, later, post, the President warned Iran that retaliation against the US for the strikes would prompt an even bigger military response.

Iran has reacted with defiance to the strikes, vowing to continue enriching uranium.
