Either These Guys Were Very, Very Lost, Or They Were Up to No Good

by Robert Spencer

After the U.S. strikes on the Iranian nuclear program, there was considerable concern about sleeper cells within the U.S. being activated; now it is clear that they’re not the only threat from Iran that American officials have to be worried about. Are agents of the Islamic Republic also taking advantage of the still-vulnerable northern border? A news item on Tuesday certainly suggested as much.

Fox News reported that “a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesman confirmed Tuesday that five Iranians were arrested while attempting to illegally cross the U.S. northern border with Canada.” CBP’s Swanton Sector stated that “on July 1, Border Patrol Agents from the Champlain, New York Station, responded to suspicious activity near Mooers Forks, NY. Agents located a minivan occupied by five citizens of Iran and two citizens of Uzbekistan.” Swanton, Vt., is a small town just south of the U.S.-Canadian border.

It’s important not to jump to conclusions. Maybe these guys were really, really lost. Or maybe they were sneaking across the border in search of a better life, ready to do the jobs that Americans aren’t willing to do. It’s also a genuine possibility, however, that they were coming into the United States to try to make good on what by now are repeated threats from the Islamic Republic of Iran to assassinate President Donald Trump, along with members of his administration.

Increasing the suspicious aspect of this incident is the fact that “CBP said that all seven men had been previously arrested for attempting to cross the border illegally.” Now, however, because Donald Trump is president rather than Old Joe Biden’s autopen, “all seven aliens are detained and awaiting deportation.” One hopes that none of them will ever see delightful Swanton ever again.

This comes amid concerns that the Islamic Republic is bent on avenging the strikes on its nuclear program with strikes of its own inside the U.S. Jonathan Gilliam, a former FBI special agent, explained: “Where these sleeper cells may be is in plain sight. And that’s the real terrifying part of this is that putting people in place, as we’ve seen over the past four years, everyone’s scrambling because certain amounts of people could come in here and get in here.”
