A new internal memo from federal officials warns that members of terrorist groups Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) could be crossing into the US through the southern border.
The memo, obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation, was sent by the San Diego Field Office Intelligence Division of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on October 20, as the war between Israel and Hamas continues and pro-Hamas protests spread around the globe.
"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 memo read.
