“On May 3, 2024, Marine Corps Base Quantico’s Criminal Investigations Division arrested two Jordanian noncitizens for trespassing.” – Captain James Covington, ICE spokesman.
Good news and bad news. First, the good news.
- Two Jordanians in a box truck fraudulently posing as Amazon delivery men attempted to gain access the Marine Corps Combat Development Command in Quantico, Virginia. Thankfully, the MPs at the gate managed to stop them after the pair attempted to bum rush the base.
Sadly, now the bad news.
- Even though one of the two is officially on the terrorist watch list, the other is in this nation illegally, this episode happened a full two-weeks ago. Coming as a surprise to no one, both the White House and ICE have done absolutely nothing.
Not only is there two very telling video tweets below, reporter Nick Arama of RedState.com notes the following;
The White House needs to answer up about this crazy case.
On May 3, two Jordanian nationals pretended to be subcontractors making an Amazon delivery when they drove up to the Fuller Road Gate at Marine Corps Base Quantico in a box truck.
They were turned over to ICE, and ICE sources confirmed to Fox News that both suspects are Jordanian nationals.
ICE Deputy Director Patrick Lechleitner was asked if he could confirm reports at least one of them was on the terror watchlist and if they were in the country illegally.
He refused, “I can’t confirm anything like that right now.” He did say they were in removal proceedings and the two remain in ICE custody pending those proceedings.
That’s more than 14 days now. Why did we only start hearing about the incident this week? Why can’t we find out if they were here illegally? Or is it that they just don’t want to confirm one more violation of the Southern border under Joe Biden? That’s ridiculous. What, if anything, was in the truck?
Fox’s Peter Doocy brought it up at the briefing with White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Thursday, and KJP stonewalled the response. “Two Jordanian nationals are in removal proceedings now after posing as Amazon delivery drivers to crash the gates at Quantico. Does the White House believe this might have been a failed terrorist attack?” Doocy asked.
Jean-Pierre refused to comment, saying that these two Jordanians remained in ICE custody, and because it was an ongoing law enforcement matter, she couldn’t comment.
But Joe Biden has no problem talking about the prosecution against his opponent. They just don’t want to respond in a case that could involve someone on a terrorist watchlist as well as someone who entered through the Southern border. That would just emphasize how Joe Biden has failed to properly protect the country.
The moral of the story? Orange man bad… but everyone else is good-to-go.
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?

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
