Threat To First Family: US Secret Service Exposed

Two men were arrested in Washington, DC for posing as federal agents. The situation may have been a direct threat to First Family.

On Wednesday, April 6, 2022, federal prosecutors charged Haider Ali and Arian Taherzadeh saying they posed as federal agents. It appears they broke U.S. Secret Service security protocols providing agents with apartments, iPhones, drones, and a gun case.

One agent is reported to have worked on the protective detail of First Lady Jill Biden.

Threat To First Family

In court documents, prosecutors allege Ali, 36, and Taherzadeh, 40, had falsely claimed to work for the Department of Homeland Security. They claimed to be working on a special task force investigating gang and violence connected to the January 6th insurrection at the United States Capitol. They allege the two posed as law enforcement officers to integrate with actual federal agents.

Federal prosecutors said four Secret Service employees were placed on leave earlier this week as part of the investigation.

This news comes as Members of Congress continue their investigation into the attack on the US Capitol which included participation by former FDNY firefighter Thomas Fee.

It is unclear how far this investigation will stretch, but it brings up other internal planned and attempted attacks against the United States by those sworn to protect it. Last year, an active duty soldier was arrested plotting to bomb the 9-11 memorial.

Officer Garcia was in the 66th Precinct at the time of his arrest. It is unclear if he has been reassigned or still working patrol of any kind.

Our ultimate goal is the reduction of crime, with an increase in community trust. We will strive for both, as these concepts are not mutually exclusive. We will see further challenges in 2022 and our priority now is for our men and women to continue to partner with our community and strive to achieve an even safer Dallas.”

A Boeing 737 crashed in southeast china early Monday afternoon local time.

China’s civil aviation authority said Monday that a China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737 passenger plane had crashed with 132 people on board. That number includes 123 passengers and nine crew members.

Contact was lost with the flight over Wuzhou, in the Guangxi region, the authority said. It was scheduled to fly from Kunming to Guangzhou.

Boeing 737 Crash

The flight — believed to be the MU5735 — left Kunming at 1:11 p.m. local time (1:11 a.m. ET) and was due to arrive at its destination in less than two hours per website FlightRadar24. The flight-tracking website shows that the Boeing 737-89P plane began to descend sharply after 2:20 p.m. local time.

Chinese President Xi Jinping said he was “shocked” to learn of the incident, according to state media CCTV. He instructed China Eastern to organize search and rescue efforts and begin an investigation into the cause of the crash.

China’s Civil Aviation Administration said it “activated the emergency mechanism and dispatched a working group to the scene.” Local reports say a mountain fire was caused by the crash.

The full number of dead and injured is currently unknown.

The September 11 Foundation will update its newsfeed as important information occurs around the world related to accidents, disasters, and major weather events.
