A teenage Mexican national breached a United States Air Force Base in Texas on Thursday, after his vehicle was stopped by Border Patrol agents, marking the second attempt to get onto a U.S. military base this month.

Two Jordanian migrants, who were in the U.S. illegally, attempted to drive a delivery truck past security guards and into Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, on May 3. One of the migrants was reportedly on the terrorist watch-list. It also comes after a separate incident in March saw one Chinese national drive onto a U.S. Marine base in California, and then refuse to leave. 

Thursday's incident saw a 17-year-old Mexican national dash out of a vehicle that was stopped by Border Patrol agents during a traffic stop. The teenager had been hiding in the vehicle at the time of the traffic stop, but ran onto Laughlin Air Force Base, breaching the base.

An hour later, the 17-year-old was taken into custody alongside four adult men, who are all suspected of being in the U.S. illegally, unnamed "sources" told the New York Post. None of the men, nor the teenager, have been identified so far.

“A cordon was established adjacent to base housing to ensure the safety of residents during the incident,” the base said.

The incident comes as the House Homeland Security Committee demands answers on the Quantico incident. Committee Chairman Mark Green penned a letter to the Defense and Homeland Security departments, and the FBI for more information.

"The Committee fears that the Department of Homeland Security’s relaxed vetting standards, which complement President Biden’s avowed desire to 'surge the border' with inadmissible migrants, have created an environment ripe for exploitation by individuals aiming to undermine the United States at its most critical points," Green wrote in the letter. "If individuals on the terrorist watchlist are so emboldened to attempt to breach a Marine Corps base, the Department of Homeland Security and the entire executive branch must act swiftly to identify, apprehend, and detain such hostile actors on American soil.”
