Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales boasted on Thursday that under his guidance, security detail has been able to capture almost 100 ISIS terrorist.
Morales shared the news while giving a speech at the second Conference for Prosperity and Security in Central America in Washington D.C. on October 11 and 12.
Brito asserted that the president mentioned the news 'because it is a work in coordination with the different intelligence and security agencies.'
Secretary of Stategic Intelligence, Mario Duarte, reaffirmed that 'the individuals intercepted, detained, prosecuted or returned to their country of origin, is close to 100.'
While Duarte alluded that info pertaining to the arrest were confidential, he did point to a 2016 incident where 'several citizens of Syrian origin who were detained with false documents were detained, for which they were prosecuted and subjected to criminal proceedings.' Those people were said to have been deported.
Both Duarte and Morales pointed to the coordinated work 'with several intelligence and security agencies of the world' as the reason why so many of the people have been detained.
Clinton Betrayed Democracy, Economic Justice, and Women and Children in Honduras
Given information that has been revealed since 2009, we now know a lot more about the US support for the 2009 military coup. Hillary Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time, didn't necessarily push the button that started it, but she was the Obama administration's most ardent advocate of keeping the military in power and preventing Zelaya from returning as a democratically elected leader. The repercussions to Honduras of Clinton siding with the military have led to it becoming one of the most corrupt and violence-ridden nations in the world. They also reveal the deep contradiction between Clinton's espousal of democracy and the rights of women and children, and her neoliberal realpolitik interest in protecting the markets and profits of US-based corporations. ... Clinton may be out of office now, but she still vigorously defends her policy that guaranteed Zelaya would not be restored to his duly elected role -- and therefore would not continue his reforms on behalf of the working poor and peasants.

There is absolutely no justification for allowing terrorists to cross our borders. Anyone who says differently needs to reevaluate priority. And maybe get their heads checked.
