Border czar Tom Homan stated that 1,272 Iranian nationals were released into the U.S. during the Biden administration, contributing to national security concerns about sleeper cells. Homan expressed apprehension over 2 million illegal crossings, stating, “We don’t know who they are, where they came from.”
The Department of Homeland Security warned that the Iran conflict is creating a heightened threat environment in the U.S., raising concerns over potential terrorist attacks.
If Iranian leaders were to issue a religious ruling calling for retaliation, it could increase the likelihood of violence from regime supporters within the U.S., according to the department.
