4th Iranian 'special interest alien' apprehended this month in Texas, US customs confirms
|
 [NYPOST] US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) says four Iranians have been apprehended in Texas since the beginning of the month, adding that they are considered "special interest aliens."
CBP sources told Fox News that one Iranian man in his 40s was taken into custody on Sunday morning in Eagle Pass, Texas, after crossing the southern border at about 3 a.m.
The source added that the Iranian gave himself up to border protection agents after making the illegal crossing.
The man, along with the other three Iranians are considered "special interest aliens" because they are from countries identified by the US government as having conditions that promote or protect terrorism or potentially pose some sort of national security threat to the US.
"Special interest aliens" also undergo additional vetting and questioning after being apprehended.
Last week, CBP agents apprehended two Lebanese nationals in Eagle Pass, who were also considered to be "special interest aliens."
CBP has also apprehended an Egyptian man in his 40s. Separately, in the Rio Grande Valley Sector, officials have apprehended 19 Iranians and 17 Syrians since Monday.
