Homeland Security (CBP) Warning: Hamas May Try to Enter & Cross Our Southern Border

Hamas now in Gaza: Looking to cross into U.S.

(Not dressed like this of course)

From ABC News this very concerning headline and developing story. Plus, it seems we are on top of the issue (hopefully 100%):

“Hamas militants may potentially try crossing southern border, U.S. officials warn”

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials in San Diego recently warned in an internal intelligence notice: “Militants associated with the Israel-Hamas war may potentially be encountered at the southwest border. Individuals inspired by, or reacting to, the current Israel-Hamas conflict may attempt travel to or from the area of hostilities in the Middle East via circuitous transit across the Southwest border.”

The CBP document shows various insignia worn by Hamas, the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group.

It informs CBP personnel to be vigilant for military-age men wearing military gear and traveling alone at the border.

CBP intelligence offices regularly generate reports on potential threats to border security. 

Thus, naming particular groups may indicate that officials have specific intelligence based on the severity of potential threats outside the U.S.

My 2 Cents: Good heads up reporting from ABC News showing that our border protection agency (CBP) is alert and on the job.

It’s a tough job with a lot of area to monitor.

Updates on this developing story are expected and will be posted with any developments, so stay tuned.

Thanks for stopping by.
