Prior to President Donald Trump authorizing targeted strikes against Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday, federal agents and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers have been arresting Iranian nationals, nearly all men, in the U.S. illegally. In the last few months, federal prosecutors have also brought terrorism charges against Iranians, including those in the U.S. working for the Iranian government.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Sunday issued a warning to all Americans to be on a heightened threat alert.
"The ongoing Iran conflict is causing a heightened threat environment in the United States," DHS warned. "Low-level cyber attacks against US networks by pro-Iranian hacktivists are likely, and cyber actors affiliated with the Iranian government may conduct attacks against US networks.
"Iran also has a long-standing commitment to target US Government officials it views as responsible for the death of an Iranian military commander killed in January 2020."
U.S. officials have no idea how many Iranians are in the U.S. illegally because at least million gotaways were recorded entering the U.S. during the Biden administration. Gotaways are those who illegally entered the U.S. between ports of entry who are not apprehended.

More recently, in April, two Iranians were charged in New York with conspiring to procure U.S. parts for Iranian drones, conspiring to provide material support to the IRGC and conspiring to commit money laundering. They remain at large. The charges “lay bare how U.S.-made technology ended up in the hands of the Iranian military to build attack drones,” DOJ National Security Division chief Sue Bai said.
Also in April, two Iranians and one Pakistani, were indicted in Virginia “for conspiring to provide and providing material support to Iran’s weapons of mass destruction program resulting in death and conspiring to commit violence against maritime navigation and maritime transport involving weapons of mass destruction resulting in death.” The Pakistani is awaiting trial; the Iranians remain at large.
Commentary:
With the bombing of three nuclear facilities in Iran the question of attacks here in the U.S. have become possible.
We all know unless we've been living under a rock that the last four year of our 46th president allowed at least 12 million illegal aliens to come across our borders while the numbers of "gotaways" could also be in the hundreds of thousands.
I question why Biden and Mayorkas aren't being held accountable?
