A suspected member of the terrorist group ISIS was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after living in the states for two years after he illegally cross the border in 2022.
The man, 33-year-old Jovokhir Attoev, crossed into Arizona and was apprehended by Border Patrol agents in February 2022, according to NBC News. At the time, U.S. officials could not find any “derogatory information” on Attoev. He was then released inside the U.S. on bond.
In May 2023, Uzbekistan put out a notice that Attoev was wanted in his home country for being affiliated with ISIS.
In March 2024, U.S. government officials were reviewing Attoev’s application for asylum when they discovered the international notice from Uzbekistan. From there, officials connected it with a man living in Maryland.
Attoev was arrested on April 17 in Baltimore and is in custody in Pennsylvania.
Earlier this year, Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy shared that over five million illegal aliens have been released into the United States, which includes more than 1.8 million known “got aways.”
