Self-Proclaimed Hezbollah Terrorist Arrested at Border in Texas
A Lebanese migrant apprehended near El Paso, Texas, reportedly claims to be a Hezbollah terrorist. The Lebanese national claimed to be headed to New York and said he wanted to make a bomb.
Border Patrol agents arrested 22-year-old Basel Bassel Ebbadi, a Lebanese national, after he illegally entered the United States from Mexico near El Paso. “I’m going to try to make a bomb,” Ebbadi told Border Patrol agents when asked why he came to the U.S., according to an exclusive report by the New York Post.
Agents captured Ebbadi on March 9 after he crossed the border from Mexico into Texas. The agents transported the Lebanese man to the El Paso hardened facility for processing and investigation. Two days later, Ebbadi told the agents he was going to make a bomb. The agents moved the man to isolation and contacted the Tactical Terrorism Response Team to conduct an interview.
During the interview on March 12, agents Mirandized the man who later admitted to being a member of a foreign terrorist organization.
Ebbadi also reportedly admitted he trained with Hezbollah for seven years and served as an active member for an additional four years. His duties included guarding weapons locations.
During the first four months of Fiscal Year 24, which began on October 1, 2023, nearly 60 migrants illegally entering the United States have been identified as being on the terror watch list. Approximately 270 more were apprehended in the prior two fiscal years — shattering prior records.

President Biden ‘shouts and swears’ at aides after being told his poll numbers have gone down over handling of Gaza conflict
- Biden ‘began to shout and swear’ over polls dropping amid Israel-Hamas conflict
- President’s allies blame poor communication and conflicting advice from staff
- Biden’s poll numbers remain at an all-time low after State of the Union addres
Insiders claim that President Joe Biden has been privately ‘seething’ over his disastrous polling numbers to his staff and is ‘angry and anxious’ about his 2024 re-election efforts.
The story comes after Biden did not get the typical polling bump after his State of the Union address last week – and his approval now sits at a new low of 37.4 percent.
However, reports of the president’s rage date back to January, when aides had told him his polling numbers had dipped in the key swing states of Michigan and Georgia due to his handling of Israel’s war on Hamas, though he still believed he’d done the right thing.
‘He began to shout and swear,’ NBC reports, citing a story that interviewed 20 lawmakers, present and past administration officials and Biden allies.
‘President Biden makes national security decisions based on the country’s national security needs alone — no other factor,’ White House Spokesman Andrew Bates said in response.
His weak approval rating is well below the last three presidents who failed to win a second term: George H.W. Bush (39 percent), Jimmy Carter (43 percent) and his November opponent, Donald Trump (48 percent).
Biden, 81, is allegedly unhappy with those who are described as wanting to ‘minimize the chances of a flub’ and says he’s cocooned and wants to take his case to the public and antagonize Trump.
The president’s temper toward staff has been detailed in the past, often yelling at staff and shouting obscenities.
‘He’s probably a little mad at himself for not being more forceful with the staff,’ one Biden White House insider claimed, adding that he often gets conflicting advice on how to handle the perception that he’s too old to do the job.
