Two criminal aliens who tried to breach a Marine Corps base in May were allowed by immigration authorities to post bail.
As previously reported, a few days after a suspected Jordanian terrorist crossed into the U.S. in May, he tried to break into the Quantico Marine Corps Base with a box truck. Accompanying him was a fellow Jordanian.
Upon being questioned at the base, the two lied and claimed they were Amazon contractors. This excuse didn’t fly, prompting them to try to ram into the base before being stopped by the guards.
The two — Hasan Yousef Hamdan, 32, and Mohammad Khair Dabous, 28 — were subsequently arrested and handed over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

But instead of, you know, deporting them or at least keeping them locked up, the Biden-run ICE agency allowed both men to post bail and reenter society as free men in early June, according to the New York Post.
They later returned to court on July 22nd to face misdemeanor trespassing charges and were again ordered released on the condition that they continue to show up to court and that they stay away from U.S. military bases.
Learning just THIS much has been a major hassle, according to Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).
“The Department of Justice, Department of Defense, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the FBI all circled wagons to guard even the identities of the two Jordanians against five written congressional inquiries, a sixth by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin seeking government briefings about the incident, and most recently a subpoena by the Republican-led House Homeland Security Committee of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas,” he noted for CIS.
“Government lawyers went so far as to refuse a Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) Freedom of Information Act request on grounds that releasing their names was a ‘clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy’ and of ‘minimal public interest’ despite the congressional and media inquiries that reached a May 16 White House press briefing where President Biden’s spokesperson refused to answer,” he added.
In other words, the Biden administration jumped through hoops to protect the poor ol’ criminal aliens.
The two men are among a group of at least 16 suspected terrorists who’ve made it into the U.S. via America’s porous border before being caught and apprehended.
“If I am in law enforcement, I am looking at this and saying there are way too many numbers for it to be a one-off,” terrorism expert Seamus Hughes recently told the New York Post. “Alarm bells are ringing and it is a significant concern for law enforcement.”
Below are some of the suspected terrorists:
Carlos Obed Yepez-Bedoya
Yepez-Bedoya, a Columbian suspected of being part of a terrorist group, was caught in Texas this past February.
Tajik nationals
A sting in June led to the arrests of eight terrorist suspects all from Tajikistan.
“They had all been apprehended after illegally crossing the border into the United States near San Diego, some six months before being taken down in New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles,” the Post noted.
The eight were reportedly talking about bombs before their arrests.
Basel Bassel Ebbadi
When questioned by a Border Patrol agent after trying to cross into the U.S. in March, Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 21, readily admitted, “I’m going to try to make a bomb.”
After being arrested, he admitted to being a member of Hezbollah.
“The only reason we caught this guy is because he’s a moron,” a Border Patrol source claimed. “If he never said anything, he would have gotten through.”
And then only God knows what would have happened…
Somali extremist
A suspected terrorist from Somalia was allowed to enter the U.S. through California in March of 2023 despite being listed on a watchlist as a “confirmed member of al Shabaab.” Due to a “mismatch,” his status on the watchlist was ignored.
“He somehow flew to Minnesota and was arrested thereafter federal authorities realized that the mismatch decision was a mistake. As to what drew him to Minnesota, that remains unclear,” according to the Post.
