Bondi said the Justice Department is watching illegal Iranian immigration activities “very close”

Attorney General Pam Bondi A budget hearing on Iranian nationals came into illegally in the Biden administration after the Biden administration warned of a conflict with Iran increased its threat level.

Rep. Tony Gonzales of R-Texas asked the attorney general if he knew how many Iranian nationals in the United States were convicted. Bondy said she was not sure, but in the last administration, more than 1,000 people entered the country.

“I can tell you that we are on high alert and everyone is watching this very carefully,” Bondy said.

Trump says Iran’s response is a strike to nuclear facilities, saying he returns to diplomacy

US Border Patrol During Joe Biden’s tenure, 1,504 Iranians in Joe Biden’s tenure were arrested on the southern border, nearly half (729) of whom were released to the United States during his tenure.

Bondy’s remarks echoed the statements of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) (DHS), which was issued a notice a day ago saying the Iranian conflict “has created a growth in the U.S. threatening environment.” The Department of Homeland Security cited the possibility of U.S. extremists “mobilize violence independently” amid calls from Iranian leaders. The department also said cyberattacks and anti-Semitism incidents could increase.

Gonzalez asked Bundy about the threat of Iran’s “sleeping cell” and the attorney general said she could “talk about it in this situation”.

Questions at the hearing on the Department of Justice (DOJ) budget proposal for the upcoming fiscal year were amid the rapid development of the Middle East, and Trump chose to intervene on the weekend.

The Ministry of Justice brought it indictment Last year, three men were targeted on alleged murder plans that originated in Iran, involving the assassination of Trump and the killing of a journalist before the 2024 election.
