ICE confirms Jordanians who attempted to breach Marine Corps Base
Quantico were both in US illegally
One Jordanian national was in the US on a student visa, which expired in January 2023

Jordanian national in attempted Quantico breach illegally crossed border
last month
One of two Jordanian nationals who attempted to breach Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia earlier this month crossed into the U.S. illegally
in April before being released, while the other was a foreign student
whose status was terminated in January, according to U.S. Immigrations
and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Both individuals were apprehended on May 3, 2024, after they attempted
to breach the Marine Corp base.

A spokesperson for the base said two people in a box truck were stopped
at a gate, with the driver allegedly telling military police officers
they were making a delivery to the post office and worked for a company subcontracted by Amazon.

However, an Amazon spokesperson told Fox News it does not appear the individuals were delivering on behalf of the company and that it is
looking into the matter.

Since both men were not affiliated with the base and could not provide
approved credentials, they were directed to a holding area for vetting.

ICE confirmed the base’s criminal investigations division apprehended
the two Jordanian noncitizens for trespassing.

"Marine Corps Base authorities notified [Enforcement and Removal
Operations] ERO Washington, D.C. of the apprehensions," ERO Washington spokesperson James Covington said. "Deportation officers from ERO
Washington, D.C. responded and arrested both individuals without
incident. Both individuals will remain in ERO custody pending removal proceedings."

One of the individuals was admitted into the country by U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) on Sept. 11, 2022 as an F-1 nonimmigrant student
with authorization to stay in the U.S. while he was a student. The
student’s status was set to terminate on Jan. 14, 2023.

The second Jordanian was arrested on April 8, 2024, near San Ysidro,
California after he entered the U.S. illegally from Mexico, according to
ICE.

After being arrested, he was ordered to appear before an immigration
judge on April 9, and the noncitizen was released on his own recognizance.

Nearly a month later, both Jordanian citizens were arrested at Quantico
for trespassing.

ICE said it has no information suggesting either Jordanian was
associated with any organization that would pose a threat to public
safety or national security.

Likewise, sources with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told
Fox News that neither man has a criminal history in the U.S., and the
FBI would not say if the suspects were on a terrorist watchlist.

"In keeping with Department of Justice policy, the FBI can neither
confirm nor deny conducting specific investigations," an FBI
spokesperson said. "It is also our policy to neither confirm nor deny
whether specific individuals are on a watchlist."

Their identities are being withheld over privacy concerns, officials
also said.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is now
facing scrutiny over the incident.

"Please explain how they came to the United States. Were they here
illegally? Are either of them on any terrorist watchlist?" Senate
Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., questioned
Mayorkas in a recent letter, also requesting the current status of the individuals.

Meanwhile, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin stated he is "formally
requesting that you immediately provide my Public Safety and Homeland
Security leadership team and me a full briefing on these events."

My guess is that they were “scouts” who were there to size up security protocols and vigilance. They were there to see just how easy it is to actually get through security and onto the actual base, as well as
making notes of things like cameras, number of guards present, and other pertinent information. They were there to assess and gather intelligence.

I was thinking the same thing. This is happening on so many other bases. Testing the waters to see how many bases they can get into. The men
coming across the border now are dropping their IDs before crossing.
Why? All people in the world who want to do harm to our country are not
on some magic "Terrorist" list. Only the ones who have proven harm or
intent to do harm. We also knew back in the 80's that "students" were terrorists waiting for their time. I hope some competent people that we
don't know about are involved in this and our national security still.

Whose privacy concerns? The illegal aliens who were arrested for
violating multiple laws now have greater protections than citizens.

Perhaps if their identities were disclosed the public may be able to
inform the authorities of their whereabouts prior to meeting up to
surveil the base.

Once again, protecting the wrong people.
