Hezbollah Terrorist Entered U.S. Under Biden Administration, Released before Deportation
An alarming incident highlights vulnerabilities in U.S. border policies under President Biden's leadership.
In a troubling episode that unfolded under President Joe Biden’s administration, a known Hezbollah terrorist, Basel Bassel Ebbadi, was apprehended while illegally crossing the border into the United States but was subsequently released into the country instead of being detained. Ebbadi, a 22-year-old from Lebanon, was stopped by Border Patrol in El Paso, Texas, on March 9, 2024. Disturbingly, he confessed to having received bomb-making training from the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah and expressed intent to travel to New York to build a bomb.
In a chilling statement to investigators, Ebbadi revealed that the focus of his training was on “killing people that were not Muslim,” yet he claimed remorse and a desire to leave the organization, despite acknowledging the grim reality that “once you’re in, you can never get out.”
Reports indicate that Ebbadi's case exposes grave flaws in the prevailing border enforcement strategies, leading to the question of national security. While it is fortunate that later interventions led to Ebbadi’s deportation a year later, this incident serves as a potent reminder of the risks posed by lenient border policies, potentially allowing dangerous individuals to roam freely within the nation. The case calls for an urgent reassessment of border security measures to safeguard American lives in the wake of growing threats.
