Judicial Watch "ISIS is operating a camp just a few miles from El Paso, Texas,
according to Judicial Watch sources that include a Mexican Army field
grade officer and a Mexican Federal Police Inspector.
"The exact location where the terrorist group has established its base
is around eight miles from the U.S. border in an area known as “Anapra”
situated just west of Ciudad Juárez in the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
Another ISIS cell to the west of Ciudad Juárez, in Puerto Palomas,
targets the New Mexico towns of
Columbus and Deming for easy access to
the United States, the same knowledgeable sources confirm.
"During the course of a joint operation last week, Mexican Army and
federal law enforcement officials discovered documents in Arabic and
Urdu, as well as “plans” of Fort Bliss – the sprawling military
installation that houses the US Army’s 1
st Armored Division. Muslim prayer rugs were recovered with the documents during the operation.
"Law enforcement and intelligence sources report the area around
Anapra is dominated by the Vicente Carrillo Fuentes Cartel (“Juárez
Cartel”), La Línea (the enforcement arm of the cartel) and the Barrio
Azteca (a gang originally formed in the jails of El Paso). Cartel
control of the Anapra area make it an extremely dangerous and hostile
operating environment for Mexican Army and Federal Police operations.
"According to these same sources, “coyotes” engaged in human smuggling
– and working for Juárez Cartel – help move ISIS terrorists through the
desert and across the border between Santa Teresa and Sunland Park, New
Mexico. To the east of El Paso and Ciudad Juárez, cartel-backed
“coyotes” are also smuggling ISIS terrorists through the porous border
between Acala and Fort Hancock, Texas. These specific areas were
targeted for exploitation by ISIS because of their understaffed
municipal and county police forces, and the relative safe-havens the
areas provide for the unchecked large-scale drug smuggling that was
already ongoing.
"Mexican intelligence sources report that ISIS intends to exploit the
railways and airport facilities in the vicinity of Santa Teresa, NM (a
US port-of-entry). The sources also say that ISIS has “spotters” located
in the East Potrillo Mountains of New Mexico (largely managed by the
Bureau of Land Management) to assist with terrorist border crossing
operations. ISIS is conducting reconnaissance of regional universities;
the White Sands Missile Range; government facilities in Alamogordo, NM;
Ft. Bliss; and the electrical power facilities near Anapra and
Chaparral, NM.
