Only A Matter Of Time - ISIS Linked Individuals Stream Over Border

DAN HART/

A startling new report has revealed that an ISIS-affiliated smuggling network was able to slip over 400 individuals through the U.S. southern border on the Biden administration's watch, with the location of more than 50 of them currently unknown. Experts say the administration's open border policies are vastly increasing the likelihood of a major terrorist attack occurring on U.S. soil.

In recent months, a number of national security experts have expressed alarm due to the dramatic increase in terrorism warning signs, including FBI Director Christopher Wray, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, CENTCOM Commander General Erik Kurilla, and former National Counterterrorism Center director Christine Abizaid. This week, the Special Operations Association of America (SOAA), which represents the U.S. military's special forces, added their voice to the chorus in a letter which emphasized that the organization was "gravely concerned by the current heightened risk of terrorist attacks against targets inside the United States and both U.S. and allied interests abroad."

The group highlighted President Joe Biden's decision to withdraw U.S. forces from Afghanistan as particularly catastrophic. "The United States has lost significant intelligence collection capabilities in the region, leaving federal authorities blind and deaf to emerging threats emanating from the region," the letter noted. "The creation of new and reestablishment of previous terrorist training camps within Afghanistan has led to successful, deadly attacks by the Islamic State's regional branch against targets in Iran and Russia and elsewhere, adding further credence to the notion that the U.S. is at risk."

SOAA went on to cite the border as another area of paramount concern. "This risk is compounded by developments in the Middle East and the porous, unsecured southern border through which we have seen numerous instances of individuals on terrorist watchlists and others from adversarial countries attempt to enter the U.S. -- and those are the ones we know about only because they were detected. We do not know how many other terrorists are already currently inside the U.S."
