President Donald Trump has taken aim at his predecessor once again, this time blaming him for Iranian “super cells” allowed into the United States.
“[President Joe] Biden let a lot of stupid stuff in,” Trump told reporters en route to the Netherlands. “…And among everything else, he let a lot of super cells in. Many from Iran. But hopefully we’ll take care of it.”
While Trump appeared to use the term “super cells,” the threat is also known as “sleeper cells,” meaning groups of terrorists who remain inactive for a time before carrying out an attack. Trump alleges that many potential cell groups entered amid a wave of illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. during the Biden administration.
The threat of sleeper cells has never been higher, according to a Customs and Border Protection memo obtained by NewsNation, though it listed no specific threats.

Iranian sleeper cells in particular could pose a threat after bombing the country’s nuclear development facilities, and Trump began demanding a ceasefire between Iran and Israel.
Trump has long maintained that dangerous threats were pouring across the border during the Biden years, and is continuing to make those claims almost six months after re-entering the White House for a second time.
In the same comments, Trump once again charged that Biden used an autopen throughout his presidency, calling into question who was running the country at the time.
“It was gross incompetence,” Trump said. “What Biden did to this country should never be forgotten.”
