The watchdog group Judicial Watch has obtained a copy of a recent intelligence warning stating: "Al Qaeda says upcoming attacks on US, possibly involving planes, will use new techniques and tactics." The alert was delivered on December 31, 2022 at 12:23:52 Greenwich Mean Time.
The information was attributed to high-level Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sources, according to Judicial Watch.
The watchdog group says the warning comes as the U.S. Federal Air Marshals (FAM) are working along the inundated US Mexico border providing illegal immigrants with welfare checks, transportation, and other basic services as directed by the Biden Administration.
FAM works under the direction of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and is responsible for protecting commercial passenger flights from the risk of terrorism.
More and more highly trained FAM officers continue to be assigned to help with Mexican border patrol, security checks and hospital watch at facilities where illegal border crosser are held, leaving the US vulnerable to another terrorist attack, like 9/11, according to critics.
The Biden administration is sending 150-200 Federal Air Marshals monthly to the southern border to help deal with what it calls “a surge in irregular migration.”
According to multiple FAM sources, the deployments will continue indefinitely and the specially trained aviation security specialists are outraged.

In late October, the Biden administration began deploying the highly trained law enforcement officers to busy Border Patrol sectors to help with hospital watch, transportation, security and welfare checks at migrant facilities.
Days later the Air Marshal National Council, which represents thousands of FAM nationwide, accused TSA Administrator David Pekoske and FAM Director Tirrell Stevenson of violating federal law and overstepping their authority by assigning air marshals to assist the U.S. Border Patrol with the illegal immigration crisis.
In a formal complaint to the DHS Inspector General, the group also accused the Homeland Security leaders of fraud, waste, and abuse of authority. Sending air marshals to El Paso, Texas, San Diego, California, Laredo, Texas, McAllen, Texas, Tucson, Arizona and Yuma, Arizona to transport illegal immigrants and conduct welfare checks has no relation to TSA’s core mission of transportation security, the complaint states.
“The statute does not give the Administrator any authority to deploy TSA or FAM employees to the southern border to perform non transportation security related matters,” the complaint to the DHS IG says. “Further, under section (g) the statute describes what the Administrators authority is if an emergency, as defined by the Secretary of Homeland Security, is declared.” The act makes clear that the legislative intent is to only allow TSA to exercise authority and deploy its assets for transportation security, the report to the DHS watchdog confirms.
Hours after learning about the latest Al Qaeda threat, the Air Marshal National Council fired off a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as well as Pekoske and Stevenson reminding them that deploying FAM to the southern border to perform humanitarian work is reckless and putting the nation at extreme risk.
“We are once again requesting you immediately stop these dangerous and unnecessary deployments and let our FAMs do what the American taxpayers pay them to do, protect and defend our transportation system,” the letter reads. “We have to ask how can you justify sending FAMs to the border in huge numbers, when the border is in your words secure, and there is no emergency? Yet we have major security incidents happening right now affecting our aviation security.”
Sonya Hightower-LaBosco, a retired FAM who serves as executive director of the Air Marshal National Council, confirmed that FAM are still being pulled off flights at a rate of about 200 a month to serve illegal immigrants at stations along the Mexican border.
“They are making sandwiches for them and driving them around like Uber or picking up supplies,” Hightower-LaBosco told Judicial Watch on New Year’s Day.
The head of the council, David Londo, called the redeployment of air marshals to the southern border “insane” considering the latest aviation threat from Al Qaeda.
“Either they don’t care about aviation security, or they really think it is secure,” Londo said.

To these ears--"irregular migration" suggests a military maneuver. If the Briben'/'Bama cabal are funding young militants to surge across our border, I would call this an act of treason. And yet, we see how the narrative PsyOp plays out in 'their' press as spin doctors engage damage control as a means to support the destruction of the US constitution. There is no doubt in many minds that we are deep into a 4th/5th generational war, and we need all hands on deck; and hopefully, a few untainted major generals who still uphold their oath to the US constitution.
These are not serious people running our various departments and institutions. Why would FAM even comply with such an inappropriate order?
