AG Bondi says Iran nationals in US pose threat; 'well over' 1,000 entered illegally under Biden(The Center Square) - Attorney General Pam Bondi said “well over” 1,000 Iranian nationals entered the United States illegally between 2021 and 2024 at a House appropriations committee hearing on Monday. “Well over 1,000 have entered our country and I can tell you we are on high alert and everyone is looking at that very closely,” Bondi said. Threats of illegal Iranian nationals prompted scrutiny of the billions in budget cuts the Department of Justice is proposing for fiscal year 2026. Bondi responded to questions from Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, on the number of Iranian nationals in the country illegally. Gonzales cited Customs and Border Protection data that said 1,500 Iranians were apprehended by customs and border protection where more than 700 were released into the United States, as the Center Square previously reported. Bondi appeared to contradict this claim and said she “didn’t know if it’s quite up to 1,500.” Gonzales grilled Bondi on proposed cuts to national security measures in the Department of Justice’s fiscal year 2026 budget, considering his concern over Iranian nationals acting as "sleeper cells" to attack the United States. The Department of Justice's fiscal year 2025 enacted budget was $36.1 billion, while the proposal for fiscal year 2026 is $33.6 billion. This marks a $2.5 billion cut, which includes
