NCTC Issues Al‑Qaida Threat Alert, Links CBP One Entry To Removal; ICE Cites Terror Suspect Arrests

ODNI’s National Counterterrorism Center circulated an unclassified advisory to law‑enforcement partners outlining al‑Qaida and AQAP threats and urging public vigilance. The advisory highlights interagency coordination and cites a past case in which an alleged al‑Qaida member entered via the CBP One app and was later removed after NCTC alerted partners. The piece references ICE arrests of terror suspects during ongoing deportation operations and prior border security lapses. Editors should monitor for follow‑on advisories or operations tied to CBP One screening and removals.
