County Supervisor Desmond, U.S. Rep. Issa say Afghan on terrorism watchlist was arrested at border [Breaking]
Two local politicians — county Supervisor Jim Desmond and Rep. Darrell Issa — say Border Patrol agents in the Otay Mesa area recently arrested an Afghan national whose name is on the federal government’s terrorism watchlist and who Desmond said was with a group of migrants.
Officials with Customs and Border Protection declined comment on the incident, referring inquiries to the FBI, which also declined to answer questions.“The FBI has no comment on your specific inquiry. We are vigilant in our efforts to detect and assess possible threats and we work closely with our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to keep our communities safe,” the FBI said in a statement.
“As a nation, we must remain steadfast in our commitment to protect the safety and security of our citizens. A strong and orderly border process is crucial in preventing individuals with nefarious intentions from entering our country,” Desmond said in the statement.
