The US is currently facing the “highest level” of threat from a terrorist attack, said House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-Ohio).
Turner made the remarks in an interview with CBS News on Sunday. He was asked about reports of recent arrests of illegal immigrants with known ties to terrorist groups including ISIS. At least eight Tajikistan nationals with links to ISIS are reported to have been arrested across the US in recent weeks.
“What’s important about these reports and what we’re seeing, especially in conjunction with [FBI] Director Wray’s public statements, that we are at the highest level of a possible terrorist threat, that the administration’s policies have absolutely directly related to threats to Americans,” Turner said.
At the beginning of the month, FBI Director Wray told a Senate committee that the risk of terrorist attacks had risen “to another level” since the 7 October attacks on Israel, and he also pointed to the Moscow theatre attack, which was apparently orchestrated by the ISIS faction known as ISIS-K, as further evidence of the increased danger.
Turner made it clear that the threats were no longer “speculative” and that the Biden administration’s border policies are making the country far less safe.
“We have actual administration officials stepping forward and certainly our committee and our committee members have concurred on the intelligence that we’re seeing,“ Turner continued.
”That as a result of the administration’s policies allowing people to cross the border unvetted, we have terrorists that are actively working with inside the United States that are a threat to Americans.”
Earlier in the month, Sen. Lindsay Graham sent a letter to Senate majority and minority leaders requesting a briefing for all senators about potential threats from ISIS.
“I have never been more worried than I am right now about an attack on our homeland” after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, combined with what he described as lax border security,” Graham wrote on Twitter.
In recent months, a worrying trend has emerged of foreign nationals attempting to gain entry to US military facilities. In Quantico, Virginia, two Jordanian nationals, both in the country illegally, attempted to ram their way onto a Marine base in a box truck, in an apparent “dry run” for a terrorist attack.
Vehicles have attempted to breach gates at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek–Fort Story, in Virginia, Naval Base San Diego and the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms, California. The attempted breach at the Air Ground Combat Center involved a Chinese national.
