This case is a sham and the White House must answer.
Two Jordanians pretended to be Amazon subcontractors on May 3 when they drove up the Fuller Road Gate of Marine Corps Base Quantico, in a box truck.
According to Curtis, because the two men had no credentials or affiliation to the Marine base, the military police directed them to a holding room to undergo standard vetting. The driver, however, drove past the holding area to try and drive onto the base.
The officers put up vehicle denial barriers to prevent the truck from getting further onto the base and arrested the two. [….]
Potomac Local News reported that multiple sources, who declined to be named, had told them that the driver of the truck was a Jordanian citizen and that he recently crossed into the United States from the southern border. Another source said that the driver was on the U.S. Government’s terrorist watchlist.
Fox News confirmed that the suspects were Jordanians. They had been handed over to ICE.
ICE Deputy Director Patrick Lechleitner answered a question asking if he could confirm that at least one was on the terror list and if the person was in the country illegally.
He said, “I cannot confirm that at this time.” He said they were in removal procedures and that the two remained in ICE custody pending these proceedings.
It’s been more than 14 weeks. Why have we only heard about this incident in the last week? Why can’t you tell us if the people were in this country illegally? Is it because they don’t want Joe Biden to be able to confirm another violation of the Southern Border? That’s ridiculous. What was, if any, in the truck when it rolled off?
KJP refused to respond when Peter Doocy, a Fox reporter, brought the issue up during the White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s briefing on Thursday. Two Jordanians are now in removal proceedings after posing to be Amazon delivery drivers and crashing the Quantico gates. Does the White House think this could have been a terrorist attack that failed? Doocy replied.
DOOCY: Two Jordanian nationals posed as Amazon deliver drivers to crash the gates at Quantico. Does the White House believe this may have been a potential terror attack?

Jean-Pierre refused to comment, stating that the two Jordanians remained under ICE custody and that it was a continuing law enforcement matter. She couldn’t comment.
Joe Biden, however, has no issue with mentioning the prosecution of his opponent. They don’t respond to a case where someone could be on a terrorist list and someone might have entered the country through the Southern border. This would only highlight how Joe Biden failed to protect the country.
They must keep us updated on what’s going on, and explain why it is only now being revealed.
Sen. Ted Cruz, (R-TV), blasted the dangers of an open border.
Two illegal aliens in a box truck tried to break into Marine Corps Base Quantico. One was a Jordanian national who illegally crossed the border & one was on the terrorist watch list.
The open border is endangering our servicemembers & their families.https://t.co/Evt5Txe7HF
