U.S. Customs and Border Protection appears to have validated Republicans’ biggest security concerns over Syrian migrants.
Two federal agents working under the authority of CBP told Breitbart News that eight Syrian illegal aliens attempted to enter Texas from Mexico. The agents, speaking on condition of anonymity on Monday, said the Syrians were apprehended by the Laredo Border Patrol.
The Syrians were taken into custody Monday, sources told the news organization.
“Border Patrol agents who we represent have been contacting our organization to voice concerns about reports from other agents that Syrians crossed the U.S. border from Mexico in the Laredo Sector. Our agents have heard about Syrians being apprehended in the area from other federal agents,” Border Patrol agent and NBPC Local 2455 President Hector Garza told Breitbart Wednesday. “At this time, I cannot confirm or deny that Syrians have crossed, for security reasons.”
Reports of the Laredo, Texas, apprehensions coincide with the detention of five Syrian nationals in Honduras who were traveling to the U.S. The individuals were found with stolen Greek passports in their possession, WND reported.
“The group of Syrian men was held late on Tuesday in the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa on arrival from Costa Rica and they were planning to head to the border with neighboring Guatemala,” Fox reported. “The passports had been doctored to replace the photographs with those of the Syrians, police said.”
The five are still in police custody.
