Border Patrol agents apprehended an Iranian migrant on Sunday after he crossed the border with a group of 130 migrants, according to a source operating with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The Iranian migrant is described as a “fighting-age” single adult male.
Border Patrol agents processing a group of 130 mostly Venezuelan migrants found a single adult Iranian male hiding within the group. The agents processed the man as a “Special Interest Alien,” according to the source.
According to a 2019 DHS fact sheet, the term “Significant Interest Alien” (SIA) is defined as follows:
Generally, an SIA is a non-U.S. person who, based on an analysis of travel patterns, potentially poses a national security risk to the United States or its interests. Often such individuals or groups are employing travel patterns known or evaluated to possibly have a nexus to terrorism. DHS analysis includes an examination of travel patterns, points of origin, and/or travel segments that are tied to current assessments of national and international threat environments.
