That’s right, our northern border, not the usual southern flashpoint. And these weren’t just random migrants. As counterterrorism expert Jonathan Gilliam warned Fox News Digital, Iranian sleeper cells could already be "hiding in plain sight”" in the U.S., especially after Iran’s recent threats against America following U.S. airstrikes on its nuclear sites June 22.
By the way, where has Reza Aslan been hiding lately?
CBP’s Swanton Sector, covering the rural Vermont area near Highway 89, posted the details on Facebook: "On July 1, Border Patrol Agents from the Champlain, New York Station, responded to suspicious activity near Mooers Forks, NY. where the noisy cows go.

Agents located a minivan occupied by five citizens of Iran and two citizens of Uzbekistan." All seven had prior arrests for illegal border crossings and are now detained, awaiting deportation. CBP didn’t mince words: Border security is national security and directly correlates to public safety, Swanton Sector Agents remain vigilant and committed to protecting our borders and enforcing immigration laws."
But let’s talk about the bigger picture. Gilliam, a former FBI special agent and terrorism task force member, didn’t hold back when he told Fox News, "Where these sleeper cells may be is in plain sight. And that's the real terrifying part of this is that putting people in place, as we've seen over the past four years, everyone's scrambling because certain amounts of people could come in here and get in here."

He’s not wrong. The Biden administration’s border policies, joke that they were, have left the door wide open. Gilliam pointed out the absurdity: "They could even go to the border and say they [want to] seek asylum, and the Biden administration, instead of putting them into DHS housing or ICE housing and holding them there so they could have their first appearance. To be vetted and whether or not they get asylum."
This isn’t just speculation. The State Department’s 2023 terrorism report, released last December, laid out a chilling pattern of Iranian operatives stirring trouble in Western countries. Take this example: "In 2023 the U.S. Department of Justice unsealed an indictment charging three individuals connected with Iran in a plot to assassinate an Iranian dissident in New York City." Or this one: "Also in 2023, a United Kingdom court found a man guilty of attempting to collect information for terrorist purposes on the London-based Iran International, a media company that is critical of the Iranian regime."

And it’s not just the U.S. and UK, there's also Albania, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Denmark. They have all had to deal with Iranian plots, from arrests to expulsions to foiled assassinations.
Iran’s not playing games. Just look at the anti-Israeli rally in Tehran on June 20, where worshippers saluted Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, unified in their rage against Israel, and, by extension, us.

With our northern border now a revolving door for potential threats, you have to wonder: How many more are already here, blending into the chaos Biden’s policies have enabled? CBP’s doing its job, but they’re fighting a flood with a cereal bowl.
When will the White House wake up?
