Agents with the Laredo Sector Border Patrol arrested 10 undocumented immigrants from Bangladesh.

According to reports, there have been several Bangladeshi nationals who have been accused of terrorism in the last decade.
The latest terrorist event happened on December 11th, 2017 when a 27-year-old Bangladeshi national detonated an explosive in a busy transit hub in New York City.
