The Facts
Eight people suspected of having ties to the Islamic State (IS) group were arrested across three US cities in recent days, anonymous sources told the AP. The detainees reportedly entered the US through the southern border and are being held on immigration violations.
The reported arrests occurred in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. The alleged individuals are from Tajikistan, and they entered the US last spring — passing through government screening without signs of potential terrorism-related concerns, according to the sources.
The Spin
Republican narrative
In addition to undermining US laws and sovereignty, Joe Biden's lax border policy has enabled terrorists to freely enter the country. Biden and the Democrats clearly don't care about the financial and societal strain that millions of illegal migrants bring upon the US, and now there is a serious IS group issue. The Biden regime allowed eight potential terrorists to travel across the border, and hopefully, this will be a wake-up call for radical Democrats who champion open borders.
Democratic narrative
It appears that federal authorities have thwarted Russian nationals with suspected ties to IS. The FBI and ICE coordinated to make sure that these potential terrorists didn't attack the US, and FBI Director Christopher Wray was correct in his assessment of US national security. While some Republicans threaten to withhold funding from the FBI, this incident shows how important the agency is to US safety, and that Biden's immigration and national security policies are working.
