Attorney General Pam Bondi was interrogated on Monday during a hearing in the Chamber Budget on Iranian citizens who illegally entered the country during the Biden administration after the Trump administration warned that the conflict with Iran raised the threat levels in the United States.
The representative Tony Gonzales, Republican of Texas, asked if the attorney general knew how many Iranian citizens in the United States have been convicted of crimes. Bondi said he was not sure, but that more than 1,000 entered the country during the last administration.
“And I can tell you that we are on a maximum alert, and they are all looking very closely,” Bondi said.

The United States border patrol arrested 1,504 Iranians on the southern border during the mandate of President Joe Biden, and almost half of them, or 729, were released in the United States, according to a source of customs and border protection.
Bondi’s comments echo those of the Department of National Security (DHS), which issued a notice one day before saying that Iran’s conflict “is causing an atmosphere of elevated threat in the United States.” The DHS cited the possibility that extremists in the United States “mobilize independently to violence” if Iranian leaders ask. The department also said that cyber attacks and anti -Semitism incidents could increase.
Gonzales asked Bondi about the threat of “Sleeping cells” Iranian, to which the Attorney General said “he could not talk about that in this environment.”
The line of questions during a hearing on the proposal of the Budget of the Department of Justice (DOJ) for the next fiscal year occurred in the midst of a quick evolution conflict in the Middle East that Trump chose to intervene during the weekend.
