U.S. Border Patrol agents recently arrested a man described as a potential terrorist shortly after he illegally crossed into the United States from Mexico.

The 21-year-old male is from Saudi Arabia. He’s “a potential terrorist” who “is linked to several Yemeni subjects of interest,” Chris Clem, the chief patrol agent in the Border Patrol’s Yuma Sector, wrote on Twitter on Monday.
