On Iranian Terrorist Sleeper Cell Threat, Noem Vows to ‘Go After Them Before They Do Anything’

By The Federalist. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem sought Monday to reassure the American people that the Trump administration is actively working to protect the homeland following the U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear sites.

“We are continuing to evaluate every single threat and to proactively go after them before they do anything or take any activity,” Noem told The Daily Signal, when asked about the threat of Iranian terrorist sleeper cells in the U.S.

Following the U.S. targeted attack on three Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday, the Trump administration has warned that the threat of the activation of terrorist sleeper cells in the U.S. has never been higher.

While the threat level is high, it is not new, Noem told reporters at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new facility at the Customs and Border Protection’s Advanced Training Center in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, on Monday.

“We have incredible threats to this country from many nations that are enemies to the United States of America,” Noem told press. “You know, it’s not just Iran, it’s North Korea, Russia, China, consistently every single day are trying to threaten our way of life. So, my job is to do all that I can to protect our country before something bad does happen.”

The U.S. struck Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites over the weekend, dropping more than a dozen bunker-buster bombs from B-2 bombers. The bunker-buster bomb is America’s largest nonnuclear bomb. The U.S. also launched Tomahawk cruise missiles from a submarine, striking Iranian nuclear targets.

AG Bondi reveals ‘high alert’ status as Iranian nationals roam free in US

By Fox News. Attorney General Pam Bondi was questioned Monday during a House budget hearing about Iranian nationals who entered the country illegally during the Biden administration after the Trump administration warned the conflict with Iran raised threat levels in the United States.

Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, asked if the attorney general knew how many Iranian nationals in the United States have been convicted of crimes. Bondi said she was unsure, but that more than 1,000 entered the country during the last administration.

“And I can tell you, we are on high alert, and everyone is looking at that very closely,” Bondi said.

U.S. Border Patrol arrested 1,504 Iranians at the southern border during President Joe Biden’s term, and nearly half of them, or 729, were released into the United States, according to a senior Customs and Border Protection source.

Bondi’s remarks echo those of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which issued a notice one day prior saying that the Iran conflict “is causing a heightened threat environment in the United States.” The DHS cited the possibility of extremists in the United States “independently mobilizing to violence” if Iranian leaders were to call for it. The department also said cyberattacks and incidents of antisemitism could increase. (Read more from “AG Bondi reveals ‘high alert’ status as Iranian nationals roam free in US” HERE)

Wife and Numerous Children of Boulder Terror Attack Suspect to Be Deported: DHS

The investigation into the horrific attack on pro-Israel protesters in Boulder, Colorado, has led to the arrest and detention of an Egyptian suspect’s wife and five children, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

A weekly demonstration by the “Run for Their Lives” grassroots organization against Hamas terror was itself the target of a heinous terror attack when a man firebombed the group with Molotov cocktails on Sunday.

A shirtless suspect was captured on cellphone video at the scene, and police were able to arrest the 45-year-old man identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national in the U.S. “illegally,” according to DHS, after reportedly overstaying his visa.

The development of the family’s arrest was first reported by Bill Melugin of Fox News, who said it was confirmed by several sources.

The family members are being processed for expedited removal, according to those sources, which would allow them to be deported without an immigration court hearing. (Read more from “Wife and Numerous Children of Boulder Terror Attack Suspect to Be Deported: DHS” HERE)

Suspect in Antisemitic Terror Attack Is Illegal Alien Admitted Under Biden

By Breitbart. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials have revealed that the suspect behind the Park Street Mall attack in Boulder, Colorado, is an illegal alien who entered the United States under the Biden administration.

Fox News’s Bill Melugin revealed that “three senior” DHS sources said Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, is “an Egyptian national in the U.S. illegally,” and has overstayed his visa after entering the United States under the Biden administration.

Melugin added that he was “told” Soliman “arrived at LAX on 8/27/22 on a B1/B2 nonimmigrant visa with an authorized stay through 2/26/23, but he overstayed & never left.”

“I’m told on 9/29/22, he filed some sort of claim with USCIS, potentially an asylum claim, and on 3/29/23, USCIS under the Biden admin gave him work authorization, which expired on 3/28/25,” Melugin added.

Melugin’s post came after FBI Special Agent Mark Michalek revealed during a press conference that Soliman had been identified as the suspect behind the attack which left multiple people injured and burned. Michalek also said there were six victims between the ages of 67-88 and that witnesses had reported the suspect had “used a makeshift flamethrower and threw an incendiary device into the crowd.” (Read more from “Suspect in Antisemitic Terror Attack Is Illegal Alien Admitted Under Biden” HERE)

Madman Launches ‘Targeted Terror Attack’ With Molotov Cocktails, ‘Makeshift Flamethrower’ — Injuring 8 While Shouting ‘Free Palestine’ — at Israeli Hostages Event in Boulder, Colorado

By New York Post. A hate-fueled madman launched a “targeted terror attack’’ in Colorado on Sunday — setting at least one woman on fire and injuring eight total as he screamed “Free Palestine” and blasted a “makeshift flamethrower” and Molotov cocktails against a crowd commemorating Israeli hostages still in Gaza, officials said.

Video footage captured the alleged attacker — who FBI officials identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman — in the middle of a tirade about Palestine and calling for death to “Zionists” before he tossed the homemade incendiary devices.

“They are killers! How many children you killed?” the shirtless man, who was reportedly in the country illegally, shouted.

“End Zionists!” he screamed in the clip.

Eight victims between 52 and 88 years old were hospitalized with varying injuries, Boulder police and FBI Denver Special Agent Mark Michalek said.

DHS Revokes Harvard’s Ability To Enroll Foreign Students

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revoked Harvard University’s ability to enroll all foreign students on Thursday, telling all current foreign students they must transfer schools in order to keep their visas.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem sent a letter to Harvard informing the university that its certification for the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) had been terminated. Noem further told the school that it can no longer enroll foreign students and that all existing foreign students must transfer schools or lose their legal status.

“This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus,” Noem said in a press release. “It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments. Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused. They have lost their Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a result of their failure to adhere to the law. Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country.”

Harvard has been a consistent target of the Trump administration because of its “toxic campus climate,” including “permitting anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators to harass and physically assault individuals,” and “inaccurate” reporting of foreign funding, including from China.

“Harvard’s leadership further facilitated, and engaged in coordinated activity with the CCP, including hosting and training members of a CCP paramilitary group complicit in the Uyghur genocide,” DHS’s press release notes.

Fed Whistleblower: They Gave Us Coloring Books, ‘I Realized, Holy S**t, Everybody’s Gay’

Are you old enough to remember when our government operated like a serious institution? Say what you want about our sketchy past, but at the very least, the USA government once projected strength, confidence, and some semblance of order. But fast-forward to today, and now we’ve got grown federal agents participating in something called a “color wall,” literally coloring to cope with the pressures of their job. Sadly, we’re not joking. This was the state of law enforcement and government under the Biden regime: safe spaces, therapy-speak, and grown men coloring like it’s art class at recess. Oh, and everybody is also gay.

A recent hidden-camera interview with a current DHS employee just blew the lid off something many of us already suspected: the US government has been infiltrated by a radical, emotionally chaotic homosexual culture. According to this makeshift whistleblower, the entire system is infested by agents in toxic relationships, drama, weak-minded men, and an overwhelming lesbian/gay presence that isn’t just tolerated; it’s pretty much the entire operating system at this point. The way it sounds, the agent badge should probably come with a juice box and a pronoun.

But honestly, this isn’t just about DHS. It’s about a much bigger mentality that’s infected everything. The Left has mainstreamed this childish, emotionally dependent worldview. It’s a movement that treats normal everyday discomfort as trauma, disagreements as violence, and therapy as a lifestyle. This is a culture that worships safety at the expense of strength and independence. It’s a twisted lifestyle built around group therapy instead of grit, toughing it out, and independence. It’s more about group coddling than individualism. . .

And just wait till you hear what else this whistleblower had to say:

That clip was hard to watch and even harder to process. But every American needs to know what’s going on behind the curtain, no matter how pathetic, unstable, or creepy it looks. This is the current state of our so-called intelligence agencies. And while it might seem like a bad SNL skit, the consequences are deadly serious.

‘Arizona Is Safer This Morning’: Kristi Noem Leads DHS, Ice Deportation Raid in Phoenix

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem led an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation raid in Arizona on Tuesday.

According to the New York Post, Noem “led about 100 federal agents on an early morning raid” in Phoenix. During the “multi-agency” raid, which was led by Phoenix ICE agents, three illegal aliens who were wanted on charges relating to “weapons and drug offenses to running a money laundering operation,” were captured, according to the outlet.

Noem told the outlet that “the effort of cooperation” there was “between agencies is getting turned onto steroids,” and added that anyone in the United States illegally “that’s committing crimes and has broken our laws will face consequences.”

“The effort of cooperation we have between agencies is getting turned onto steroids,” Noem told the outlet. “We have this being multiplied across the country exponentially. Now anyone who’s in this country illegally that’s committing crimes and has broken our laws will face consequences.”

This Federal Agency Will Soon Be Aiding Trump’s Mass Deportation Efforts

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will soon be working with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to support the Trump administration’s efforts to curb illegal immigration.

The two agencies are close to hammering out an agreement in which the IRS will help DHS locate individuals who are believed to be residing in the country illegally, CNN reported.

The agreement would require Immigration and Customs Enforcement to submit names and addresses of people it suspects of living in the country illegally to the IRS, which the tax agency would then cross-reference and confirm, the person said.

Tax information has generally been closely held within the IRS, and laws prohibit improper disclosure of taxpayer information. The IRS has encouraged undocumented migrants to file taxes, a process that includes providing the agency with their addresses, employers and earnings.

CNN reported earlier this year that DHS had circulated a draft memo to the IRS that represented a sweeping request for information about suspected undocumented immigrants, including the home addresses of several hundred thousand individuals who paid federal taxes based on their individual taxpayer identification numbers, according to a source with direct knowledge of the document.

Privacy experts say that would be a violation of the strict disclosure laws that the IRS operates under which prohibit the release of tax information by an IRS employee.

The draft the person described Sunday appears to be a narrower version of the earlier draft. Under the current iteration, the IRS would confirm migrants’ addresses rather than provide the information to ICE.

Kristi Noem Says DHS Found ‘Leakers,’ Details How Agency Caught ‘Sell-Out’ Bureaucrats

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Monday evening on Fox News that her agency has identified some of the “leakers” responsible for releasing internal information.

On Feb. 10, Noem suggested that “corrupt” FBI agents were behind a leaked memo about an upcoming “large-scale” Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid in the Los Angeles area, which was obtained by the Los Angeles Times. With border czar Tom Homan echoing the secretary’s suspicions a day later, Noem said on “Hannity” that “some” of the internal leakers had been caught, but she did not specify which agency they belonged to or how many there were.

“I have found some leakers. We are continuing to get more. They will be fired. There will be consequences. And, remember, when they leak information to the press in order to blow an op, they are putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy,” Noem said. “They are risking their lives and putting their families in the position where they have to live without those individuals any further.”

“We have used every tactic that we have. If you remember, we talked just last week about how I’m using polygraphs to go after and to really interview these folks because we are a national security agency. I have that tool I can use. Also looking at their emails, looking at their communications,” Noem added. “It’s amazing how these bureaucrats who have an agenda to stop the work that we’re doing to bring safety to America, how they will sell each other down the river if it’s just to protect themselves. So don’t worry. I am doing everything to find these leakers and to get rid of them so that we can do our work and our law enforcement officers and agents can do it safely.” (Read more from “Kristi Noem Says DHS Found ‘Leakers,’ Details How Agency Caught ‘Sell-Out’ Bureaucrats” HERE)

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Gets in Fiery Exchange With CNN Host Over Elon Musk, DOGE: ‘Can’t Trust Our Government’

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem clashed with a CNN host over trust in government despite being a federal official while defending tech mogul Elon Musk’s access to sensitive data.

CNN moderator Dana Bash goaded Noem Sunday by noting how Republicans were once wary about “government, particularly unelected people, having access to personal data.”

“Well, we can’t trust our government anymore,” Noem replied.

That prompted the CNN host to remind her that “you are the government now.”

“Yes, that’s what I’m saying, is that the American people now are saying that we have had our personal information shared and out there in the public,” Noem shot back.
