Two Jordanian nationals tried to sneak onto a Marine Corps base in Virginia, one of whom had entered the U.S. illegally across the southern border. Both individuals were arrested for trespassing and detained by ICE pending removal proceedings. The incident has prompted an investigation by the House Homeland Security Committee.

Key Points

  • One of the Jordanian nationals had entered the U.S. illegally across the southern border in April 2024.
  • Both individuals were arrested for trespassing at the Quantico Marine Corps Base in Virginia.
  • ICE has no information suggesting that either individual is associated with a public safety or national security threat.

Pros

  • ICE was able to apprehend the individuals before any potential harm was done.
  • Security measures at the Marine Corps base were effective in preventing unauthorized access.

Cons

  • The incident raises concerns about vulnerabilities in border security that allowed one of the individuals to enter the U.S. illegally.
  • The presence of an individual on the U.S. terrorist watch list in the vehicle raises questions about potential security threats.
