Feds Downplay Military Base Breach by Jordanian Migrant on Terror Watchlist as “Amazon Delivery”

Adding to the mainstream media’s huge credibility problems, a major newspaper has omitted critical facts in a story accusing a Republican governor of inflaming fears over illegal immigration for bringing attention to a serious breach at a U.S. military base earlier this year. It happens to involve a case Judicial Watch investigated and we obtained important government records that contradict the skeptical tone of the lengthy article, which portrays Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin as somewhat of a fear-mongering embellisher who fabricated the seriousness of the matter. “Virginia’s governor has used the arrest of two undocumented men who misunderstood directions to stop at a check-in station to inflame fears over illegal immigration,” according to the piece, published by the Washington Post a few days ago. The article quotes federal prosecutors dismissing the breach as an “Amazon delivery.”
The incident involves two Jordanian illegal immigrants—32-year-old Hasan Yousef Hamdan and 28-year-old Mohammad Khair Dabous—who tried to infiltrate Marine Corps Base Quantico on May 3. Both were released from federal custody after being charged for trying to breach the compound even though one of the men appears on a terror watch list, according to records obtained by Judicial Watch. The men posted bail in early June and were released by the Washington D.C. Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) division of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the records show. A Department of Justice (DOJ) immigration judge in Annandale, Virginia set Dabous’ bail at $10,000 and Hamdan’s at $15,000 and they were freed after posting bond and agreeing to stay away from military facilities and to appear in court for immigration hearings.
