Border agents detained three Palestinian migrants who illegally crossed the southern border after they were found to have possible ties to terrorist organizations earlier this month, according to sources.
One of the migrants had “salacious photos” on their phone — including a picture of a masked man holding an AK-47 rifle, federal law enforcement sources said.
In addition to the three Palestinians, federal authorities caught one migrant from Turkey who was also suspected of having ties to terror groups.
The migrants were among groups of dozens of migrants who turned themselves in to border agents at the San Diego sector, said sources.
An investigation into the migrants is ongoing, sources said. The group was transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating their cases.
It’s the latest example of potential security threats entering the US via the southern border — especially at San Diego.
Overwhelmed Border Patrol agents tell The Post that they do not have the tools to fully vet the migrants who are coming in from all over the world — particularly into the San Diego area.
Mostly, they are only able to use US terror watchlists and other American resources to help determine which migrants could be a terror threat. Border agents do not have access to terror or criminal databases from other countries.
“Knowing who these guys are, we have, like, no access to anything international. Like, we really don’t and it kind of sucks,” said one border agent, who spoke anonymous because they were not authorized to give public statements.
“I wanted to get into Border Patrol and protect from terrorists. And it’s like, well, I probably let terrorists in the country.”
A Customs and Border Protection spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
It’s unclear which terrorist organization the migrants were allegedly affiliated with.
However, border agents in the San Diego sector were warned to be on the lookout for individuals tied to Palestinian terrorist groups after the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel.
“San Diego Field Office Intelligence Unit assesses that individuals inspired by, or reacting to the current Israel-Hamas conflict may attempt travel to or from the area of hostilities in the Middle East via circuitous transit across the Southwest border,” the previous alert read.
“Foreign fighters motivated by ideology or mercenary soldiers of fortune may attempt to obfuscate travel to or from the US to or from countries in the Middle East through Mexico,” the memo adds, before listing the patches of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah.
The migrants crossed the border just weeks after the Biden administration instituted new policies that restrict the ability of migrants to request asylum — though the executive order has has major loopholes allowing migrants to still be released into the country.
San Diego area has the biggest loopholes because migrants who arrive there from more than 100 countries that won’t accept deportees are exempt from the restrictions and are allowed to access the asylum system.
As a result, migrants from all over the world — including India, China and Central Asian nations that are major ISIS recruiting grounds — are flocking to San Diego.
The flow of migrants has slowed overall with the new restrictions combined with the summer heat, border agents still have concerns about terrorists trying to enter illegally and the ones they’ve already set free because their countries fail to share information on them.
Last month, ICE agents in Los Angeles, New York, and Philadelphia arrested eight Tajik nationals believed to be tied to ISIS, all of whom crossed the southern border in recent years, as first revealed by The Post.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has also been trying to track down 50 migrants who were brought into the US with the help of an ISIS-tied smuggling organization.
Agents have also caught record numbers of illegal migrants whose names appear on the terror watchlist as border crossings have skyrocketed under the Biden administration. Between fiscal years 2017 and 2020, border agents caught 26 terror watchlisted individuals at the southern border, according to federal data.
That number quickly jumped to 98 in fiscal year 2022 alone, followed by 169 the next year.

| Schumer Shaking Hands with China's Dictator |
If you look at the clip carefully, you will see that Netanyahu was the one who did not shake hands with the liar!
In the aftermath of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent address to Congress, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has provided clarity on his decision not to shake hands with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Speaking on Face The Nation, Schumer emphasized the unshakeable bond between the United States and Israel. “I went to this speech because the relationship between Israel and America is ironclad, and I wanted to show that,” Schumer stated. “But at the same time, as everyone knows, I have serious disagreements with the way Benjamin Netanyahu has conducted these policies.”
The senator further elaborated on his decision to extend the invitation to Netanyahu, despite these differences. “I have no regrets about inviting Netanyahu because the U.S. commitment to Israel transcends any one prime minister,” Schumer
Nurali Emomali, a Tajikistani judo competitor, refused to shake hands with Israeli judoka Baruch Shmailov, shouting “Allahu Akbar” instead.

A recent survey indicates that 70% of Americans cannot identify a single accomplishment by Vice President Kamala Harris since she took office. This statistic, highlighted by political analyst Frank Luntz, raises concerns about her public recognition and effectiveness. Luntz noted that when asked to name an achievement from her three and a half years in office, most people struggled to find an example. Moreover, Luntz suggests that the remaining 30% who did offer examples might be fabricating their responses, further underscoring the perception issue.
One of the most significant criticisms against Harris is the alleged lack of tangible accomplishments during her tenure. This perceived void in her track record has become a focal point for her detractors. Additionally, reports of a 90%+ turnover rate among her staff due to claims of an abusive work environment further fuel negative perceptions. Such high turnover suggests potential management issues and ineffective leadership within her office, compounding her public relations challenges.
Critics also argue that Harris has been complicit in covering up President Joe Biden’s purported cognitive decline, which, if true, could erode trust in her transparency and leadership capabilities. Her handling of the U.S. border crisis has also been a major point of contention. Many believe her strategies have been ineffective, leading to ongoing issues at the southern border. These criticisms highlight significant policy and governance concerns that could impact her political future.

But world must see the pure evil of #Hezbollah!
Today, they fired a rocket on #MajdalShams in northern Israel. They murdered 11 CHILDREN. Beautiful, innocent, children - bodies thrown, limbless, massacred. They were just playing football. Pure act of evil! pic.twitter.com/4ZjYKYYQLa
The European Union and United Nations condemned a horrific Hezbollah rocket attack Saturday on northern Israel that killed 12 children and wounded 30 others while they were playing soccer in the Israeli Druze village of Majdal Shams.
The rocket used in the attack was an Iranian-made Falaq-1 that carried a warhead with 53-kilograms explosives, the Israel Defense Forces found in its initial investigation
But despite their condemnations, top officials in both international bodies urged “restraint,” while offering no proposals that would end the threat to northern Israel posed by Iran’s proxy in Lebanon.
“Shocking images,” said Joseph Borrell Fontelles, High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and Vice President of the EU Commission.
“I strongly condemn this bloodbath. We need an independent international investigation into this unacceptable incident. We urge all parties to exercise utmost restraint and avoid further escalation,” Borrell wrote in a post on the X social media platform.
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) also condemned the attack in a joint statement by UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert and UNIFIL Head of Mission and Force Commander Lt. Gen. Aroldo Lazaro.
“We deplore the death of civilians – young children and teenagers – in Majdal Shams. Civilians must be protected at all times,” the statement read.
The UNIFIL mandate began in 1978, but has since been adjusted several times; most recently the mandate was adjusted following the 2006 Second Lebanon War to include assistance to the Lebanese Armed Forces “in taking steps towards the establishment between the Blue Line and the Litani River of an area free of any armed personnel, assets and weapons other than those of the Government of Lebanon and of UNIFIL deployed in this area” in accordance with the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, the ceasefire agreement that ended the war between Hezbollah and Israel.
Needless to say, UNIFIL has declined to tangle with Hezbollah, backed by Iran, thus allowing the terrorist army to create an Iranian proxy state within a state along Israel’s northern border.
Like the EU, UNFIL insisted on moral equivalence in its statement, fearing a wider regional conflict.
“We urge the parties to exercise maximum restraint and to put a stop to the ongoing intensified exchanges of fire. It could ignite a wider conflagration that would engulf the entire region in a catastrophe beyond belief,” the statement continued. “UNIFIL and UNSCOL are in contact with both Lebanon and Israel.”
Lebanon, however, has no power of Hezbollah, which has created its own state within a state and years ago managed to infiltrate the Lebanese government.
Hezbollah today maintains a significant faction in both the Lebanese parliament and its government cabinet, successfully sabotaging every attempt to install a new president for the country for more than a year, following the end of former President Michel Aoun’s six-year term in October 2022.
The attack was likewise condemned by Tor Wennesland, United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, who called the slaughter an “abhorrent rocket attack.”
Wennesland, like UNIFIL and the EU, also missed the point, sanctimoniously writing that “children continue to bear the burden of the horrific violence plaguing the region” but opting for moral equivalence over truth.
“I urge all to exercise maximum restraint,” Wennesland wrote on X. “The launching of rockets across the Blue Line must cease immediately. The Middle East is on the brink; the world and the region cannot afford another open conflict.”
“Since October 8th, as Iran proxy Hezbollah launched 2,295 attacks against Israel, killing people, destroying hundreds of homes, displacing tens of thousands, the the UN and its ilk were silent,” UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer observed Sunday in a post on X. “When Israel finally prepares to respond, they will suddenly cry out for deescalation,” he noted sardonically.
One has to wonder: If the targeting of children in a soccer field with 53 kilograms of explosives, and daily attacks from Lebanon leading to the complete evacuation of Israeli residents from their homes along the border due to the danger isn’t already an “open conflict,” then how would one define it?
Former New York Knick Eddy Curry has a new opponent: antisemitism.
The ex-NBAer, who played five seasons with the Knicks and won an NBA championship with the LeBron James-led Miami Heat in 2012, has been advocating for the release of 1-year-old Kfir Bibas, the Israeli boy who has spent the bulk of his life in Hamas captivity.
Bibas was kidnapped along with his brother Ariel, 4, and their parents, Shiri and Yarden Bibas, by the terror group during the Oct. 7 attack.
Curry, 41, recently traveled to the Holy Land with his wife and met with members of the Bibas family as part of the Sports Speaks Up campaign for Project Max, an organization that fights antisemitism, racism, and intolerance through sports.
Curry, who was drafted in 2001 by his hometown Chicago Bulls, “adopted” Kfir Bibas and has made the infant’s release a priority.
“Back when I was in New York, I lost a child to gun violence. Ever since then … it just reshaped my world. To actually go through a loss like that … to know that there’s hostages and that there’s children involved, that just hit me in a certain place,” Curry told The Post.
Curry’s ex-girlfriend, Nova Henry, 24, and infant daughter Ava were shot dead in 2009 by Henry’s attorney, Frederick Goings, who was representing her in a child-support case against Curry.
Goings and Henry had become romantically involved.
“We want their children to come back home, just like we would want our children to come back home. There are children just like ours here in America that are not home, that are being exposed to some of the most heinous acts anyone can imagine,” Curry, who retired from the hardwood in 2012, said.
“On the 5th of August, Ariel, the oldest child [turns 5]. Unfortunately, we need to plan, again, another huge event with balloons and cakes and singers … but it’s gonna be without the birthday boy,” Shiri Bibas’ cousin Yosi Shnaider said. “In the beginning we started counting the hours since the kidnap, then we started counting the days, then the months, in two months it’s going to be a year.”
“The common goal here is to bring as many as the hostages home as we possibly can,” Curry added
Washington may not fully realize it yet, nor the presidential candidate herself, but Vice President Harris’ honeymoon effectively ended Saturday in the Golan Heights on a bloody soccer field. The Mideast is on the cusp of what might become its bloodiest war since Israel’s founding in 1948.
Harris’ self-serving decision to pander to Gen Z and progressive votes on Thursday after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office is turning out to have deadly results.
Harshly criticizing Israel as she did in front of Bibi at the White House might bag November votes – but they are also leading to body bags in Gaza and North Israel.
Now, Israeli civilians are paying a heavy price for her words.
In what could be described as a second Oct. 7, Hezbollah launched a rocket attack on a soccer field Saturday afternoon in the Golan Heights, killing 12 people, including children, and injuring 40.
The attack struck the village of Majdal Shams. Home to a large Druze community – an Arab and Arabic-speaking ethnoreligious group. Many Druze are Israeli citizens and proudly serve in the IDF.
Israel identified 30-plus projectiles crossing from Lebanon into Israeli territory and has blamed the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorist group for the attack. Hezbollah denies the accusation, “firmly denying” they fired the rockets.
According to IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the rocket used in the attack on the soccer field was an Iranian-made Falaq-1 rocket. If not fired by Hezbollah, then it could have been fired by Iranian Revolutionary Islamic Corps (IRGC) forces in Lebanon.
Same difference.
Moshe Gafni, z’l, 21, the son of HaGaon HaRav Meir Gafni, the Rav of the Heichel Yitzchak Beis Medrash in Modiin Iliit, drowned on erev Shabbos at the beach and passed away.
The niftar went to the Sheraton beach, a separate beach for men in Tel Aviv, with friends on Friday, where he drowned. Emergency forces evacuated him to the hospital, where sadly they could do nothing but declare his death.
The levaya is scheduled for 12:30 a.m. on Motzei Shabbos. The kevurah will take place at the beis kevaros in Rechovot.
