President Donald Trump has placed the blame at the feet of former President Joe Biden and his regime for yet another one of their failures. To be fair, the blame is well-founded when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is arresting terrorists among those they’re capturing for being in the country illegally.

The Post Millennial is reporting that, according to CBS News, 11 Iranian nationals have been arrested in a two-day operation spanning nine cities. One of the men detained, Mehran Makari Sahel, reportedly has “admitted connections to Hezbollah,” a terrorist organization.

According to The Post Millennial:

In addition to the arrest of Sahel, there were others taken into custody that had previous convictions related to crimes from grand larceny to firearm possession. Yousef Mehridehno, another Iranian national who was illegally living in the US for 8 years, was arrested. He was added to the terror watchlist in February and ICE took him into custody in Mississippi.

Another Iranian national arrested was Ribvar Karmi, who was taken into custody in northern Alabama. When he was arrested, he had an Islamic Republic of Iran Army identification card with him. Authorities said he was an Iranian sniper from 2018 to 2021 and then entered the US under a K-1 visa, which is reserved for foreign nationals who are married to US citizens.

When Biden, as a candidate, told people around the world to “surge” the U.S. borders, terrorists and the organizations that harbor them were obviously going to take advantage of that proclamation and be among the anywhere from 10 to 21 million people to illegally cross our borders and invade the U.S.

On Air Force One, Trump spoke to the press and took Biden to task for his alleged “auto pen” administration.

“Hardly ever signed a document,” Trump said. “Other people signed documents for him with the auto pen. It was gross incompetence. And among everything else, he let a lot of sleeper cells in, many from Iran, but hopefully we'll take care of them.”
