Officials in the Biden administration are suppressing information about a failed terror attack carried out by undocumented immigrants.
The Biden administration has refused to answer questions about an incident at Quantico Marine Corps base on May 3, raising concerns about the ongoing border crisis and a potential terror attack on US soil.
Two illegal immigrants, one who crossed the border illegally and another who had overstayed his visa, attempted to access the FBI training academy, military officer training schools, and military criminal investigations and intelligence commands at Quantico.
Military police stopped the men, charged them with trespassing, and turned them over to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but the government has not provided any further information about the incident.
Despite repeated opportunities to deny any terror-related motives, the White House and ICE have remained silent, breaking with the usual practice of clarifying the nature of attacks following 9/11.
Many believe that the administration’s reluctance to address the incident is politically motivated, as acknowledging a terror attack from the border crisis could harm Biden’s re-election campaign, which is already facing challenges due to the ongoing crisis.
Congressmen have demanded answers about the attack, emphasizing the importance of transparency and public safety in the face of potential national security threats.
By withholding information for political gain, Biden is putting Americans at risk, as knowing what terrorists have attempted allows law enforcement to better protect against future threats.
