Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC): Do you think the threat level against the United States is up or down when it comes to radical Islamic terrorists?
Former Kristi Noem, Homeland Security Secretary: It’s up.
That testimony this week on Capitol Hill, from the former secretary of Homeland Secretary, as the US attacks against Iran increased, along with Israel striking in Lebanon, and the first attack in the United States being called an act of domestic terrorism.
Early last Sunday a suspect wearing a sweatshirt with the words ‘Property of Allah’ opened fire outside a popular bar in downtown Austin. Three people died. Over a dozen were wounded.
The concern now from Capitol Hill, to law enforcement, is how large, and how real, is the threat?
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA): The previous administration’s open border policy brought millions of people to this country. We don’t know everyone’s background or two intent for entering, but we know many of these had ill intent.
Lisa Fletcher: Given reports that nearly 1500 Iranians have illegally crossed the border in the last couple of years, and at least half of those were released into the United States. Does that raise a realistic concern here that there could be cells forming, sleeper cells forming?
