U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has arrested Said Jama Ahmed, an illegal alien from Somalia with a "prior piracy-related history," the agency said on Friday.

"Ahmed had outstanding warrant for falsely making, using, and forging a passport, as well as a fingerprint match linking him to a 2012 national security threat. This threat occurred during an encounter when the U.S.S. Halsey responded to a distress call from a vessel that had been hijacked by pirates in the Gulf of Aden," CBP announced on X.

"Ahmed first illegally entered our nation under the Biden administration in 2022. He was issued a full extradition warrant dated 4/24/2025. DHS will continue to work to arrest criminal illegal aliens to protect the American homeland from ALL threats," CBP wrote on X.
