Eight Tajikistani Suspected ISIS-K Terrorists Arrested in Major U.S. Cities, Criticism Aimed at Biden Administration

Federal immigration agents, in conjunction with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, have arrested eight Tajikistani nationals with suspected ties to ISIS-K in a coordinated operation spanning New York, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. The suspects, who entered the U.S. illegally through the southern border earlier this year, were vetted and allowed to remain in the country before their arrests. At least one suspect used President Joe Biden's 'One app' to book appointments to claim asylum. The operation has raised concerns about border security and the vetting process for individuals entering the U.S., with criticism directed at the Biden administration for its handling of border security.
