US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has revealed that as of mid-October, a total of four Iranian nationals have been apprehended as they attempted to illegally cross into the US at the Texas border, and were all processed as "special interest aliens."

Sources from CBP told Fox News that an Iranian man in his 40s was detained on Sunday morning in Eagle Pass, Texas after he went through the southern border around 3 a.m.

That Iranian, along with the other three who were arrested, has received the "special interest alien" label due to the nation of origin, as the US government deems Iran as "having conditions that promote or protect terrorism or potentially pose some sort of national security threat to the US," per Fox News.

In addition to these four people, two Lebanese citizens were arrested in Eagle Pass last week. The duo also was classified as "special interest aliens."
