From FBI Director Chris Wray to federal prosecutors, the terrorism and
criminal consequences of administration's border policies come into
sharper focus.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas may continue to insist the U.S. southern border is closed and secure - but President Joe Biden's own Justice Department and its current FBI director are painting a picture of a border porous enough to tempt terrorists to assassinate a former president and drug cartels to operate with impunity.
File 1.pdf The FBI affidavit submitted to support the criminal charges against Shihab Ahmed Shihab provided chilling details of how Shihab planned to exploit the porous border, including recordings with FBI confidential sources where specific routes, fake IDs and facilitators were discussed.
One day after Shihab's case was unsealed in federal court in Ohio, FBI Director Chris Wray gave a stark warning in congressional testimony about the consequences of the porous border, saying the U.S. border patrol now has "a heckuva challenge on their hands.
" "Border security is a major challenge that cuts across a whole host of programs we serve, and the national security piece of it is one part of it," Wray testified Wednesday under questioning from Sen. Jerry Moran.
Wray's assessment stands in stark contrast to Mayorkas, who said in a recent ABC News interview, "The border is closed, the border is secure," a claim that has been roundly criticized.
The suspected terrorist, identified as Isnardo Garcia-Amado, 35, was released into the U.S. by Border Patrol agents April 18 near Yuma, Ariz. He was then arrested two weeks later after the FBI matched him to a terror watch list.
Mark Morgan, the former acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border and Protection under President Donald Trump, told Just the News on Wednesday there is mounting evidence that weak border security is putting American security at grave risk.
