The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a warning to staff that Iranian-backed terrorists of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) may try to cross the U.S. southern border with Mexico in an attempt to enter the country illegally, according to leaked government documents.
In an intelligence notice by the agency’s San Diego Field Office’s Intelligence Division, CBP officials warn that 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.”
