Two foreign nationals, both Jordanian nationals, are now in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody after an attempt to breach a Marine Corps base in Virginia on May 3. The incident happened at Quantico Marine Corps Base in Virginia, when a box truck was stopped at one of the gates. The driver told military police officers they were making a delivery to the Post Office and worked for a company subcontracted by Amazon. Because they had no affiliation to the base and no approved credentials, they were directed to a holding area for vetting. “It was at that time, one of the military police officers noticed the driver, ignoring the direct instructions of the officers, continued to move the vehicle past the holding area and attempted to access Marine Corps Base Quantico,” spokesperson Capt. Michael Curtis said in a statement. “Due to the swift response and execution of their duties, the officers were able to deploy the vehicle denial barriers, prevent any further access to Marine Corps Base Quantico, and detain the individuals who were eventually turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody.” No injuries were sustained and officers did not report any weapons. ICE sources confirmed to Fox News that both suspects are Jordanian nationals. Acting ICE Director Patrick Lechleitner said the two nationals are in removal proceedings. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that the two Jordanians remain in ICE custody.
