Topics
Jessica Rosenthal: 我认为目前在美国被捕的非法伊朗移民中，有些人与真主党有联系，有些是前伊朗军队的狙击手，甚至还有一些是已知或疑似的恐怖分子，这无疑加剧了人们对潜在恐怖威胁的担忧。 President Trump: 我认为在拜登执政期间，由于非法移民的大量涌入，恐怖分子可能已经通过南部边境进入美国。这种边境管理上的严重失职是不可原谅的，我们必须采取措施来纠正这一问题，确保国家安全。 Pam Bondi: 我可以明确地说，我们对伊朗人入境的问题保持着高度警惕，并且正在密切关注事态的发展。国家安全是我们的首要任务，我们将不遗余力地确保美国人民的安全。 Bill Malugin: 我了解到，在拜登执政期间，有1504名伊朗国民在非法越过南部边境时被边境巡逻队抓获，其中接近一半的人被释放到美国境内。更令人担忧的是，在那四年里，有超过200万的已知逃犯，我们永远无法得知有多少伊朗人成功逃脱，也不知道有多少被捕的伊朗人可能在恐怖分子观察名单上。目前，ICE正在努力寻找可能对国家安全构成威胁的伊朗人，并且已经逮捕了11名伊朗国民，其中一些人与恐怖组织有关联。 Stephen Miller: 我认为特朗普总统有权将犯有严重罪行的非法移民送到世界上任何愿意接受他们的国家。最高法院的裁决也支持了这一做法，允许将非法移民遣返到他们不是来自的国家，如果他们的祖国不愿接纳他们。

Following the U.S. airstrikes targeting Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend, there has been increased concern about potential terrorism in America. Border pundits have forecast that the surge in illegal immigration under the Biden administration could have granted members of Iranian terror cells access to the country. FOX News national correspondent Bill Melugin joins the Rundown to discuss the current management of the southern border and the latest Supreme Court decision regarding 3rd-country removals.

Before leaving for the Netherlands for a NATO summit, the President expressed optimism that Iran's nuclear program has been completely demolished. While the President has said the U.S. is not pushing for regime change, sources close to Iranian people have mentioned that protests are occurring. Fellow at the Middle East Institute, Dr. Nazee Moinian joins the podcast to explain how the Iranian regime reached this point and what its citizens may choose for their future.

Plus, commentary from host of OutKick's "Gaines for Girls", Riley Gaines.
