BREAKING: A 20-year-old Palestinian man in the U.S. illegally has been arrested and charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person after he was in direct contact with others who “share a radical mindset”, and was training w/ weapons to “possibly commit an attack”, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of Texas. They say the man, Sohaib Abuayyash, entered the US on a non immigrant visa, which expired in 2019. FBI taking lead on the investigation. Set to appear in federal court in Houston on 11/13.
This tends to imply that the authorities in Texas have identified some sort of terror cell that they're beginning to roll up, although details are obviously fuzzy on this issue as of now.
Democrats have long assured us that our lax border policies and permissiveness in not tracking down people who overstay their visas isn't a security problem at all, which has always been an absurd stance on its face. Fortunately in this instance authorities seem to have gotten to this guy before anything bad happened. Obviously 'innocent until proven guilty applies here as always, but if this guy was up to what they're saying he was up to... hoo boy.
At the least it sounds like they've definitely got him on the firearms charge.

God help us. Imagine the one’s we don’t know about.

Might be best not to think about that, in some ways.
It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when the next attack happens from the border being open and border patrol/ICE being absolutely overwhelmed due to the open border.

I get the sense that we are living on borrowed time, so to speak. Undoubtedly countless radicalized aliens have been let into the US over the last few years. It's only a matter of time before they reveal themselves

But naturally, Biden's working on an "Islamophobia Task Force", and the border remains wide open....

Yes, the Biden administration clearly has its eyes on the ball.
We'll keep an eye on this story as it develops and so should you.
