Over 50 Jihadist Cases in 29 States Show ‘Persistent Terror Threat,’ House Report Says; Dozens of Illegal Immigrants from ‘special interest’ Nations with Terrorist Activity Caught at Southern Border; Meanwhile at the Northern Border, a Jihadist Attack in New York Is Thwarted
Over 50 Jihadist Cases in 29 States Show ‘Persistent Terror Threat,’ House Report Says:
A new report published by the House Homeland Security Committee finds that “foreign jihadist networks and homegrown violent extremists” represent a “persistent terror threat to America.”
The committee’s report identifies over 50 cases in 29 U.S. states between April 2021 and September 2024, including dozens of attempts to provide material support to designated Islamist foreign terrorist organizations such as ISIS, Hezbollah, and al-Qaeda, with individuals receiving military-type training from ISIS and Hezbollah as well as committing fraud.
The states with identified jihadist cases include Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Washington.
The Homeland Security Committee notes that increased threats to Americans heightened after the ISIS-K-orchestrated terrorist attack in Afghanistan on Aug. 30, 2021, that killed 13 U.S. service members. Terrorism threats also escalated after the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, which killed an estimated 1,200 with 200 hostages taken.
“From the Biden-Harris administration’s chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal and the spillover effects of the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks against our ally Israel to the vulnerabilities caused by our wide-open borders, the United States is facing a dynamic and worsening terror threat landscape,” Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., said.
Green added:
Foreign jihadist networks like ISIS and Hizballah, as well as homegrown violent extremists ideologically motivated by these terrorist groups, present security threats to the homeland. The Department of Homeland Security’s mission is to protect the American people from every threat at our doorstep. The system is blinking red yet again, as even the head of the FBI has noted. Despite heightened threats from terrorists, the Biden-Harris administration continues to demonstrate weak leadership on the world stage and fails to admit its policy failures that brought us here. We must change course and take the necessary actions to protect the homeland.

Dozens of illegal immigrants from ‘special interest’ nations with terrorist activity caught at southern border:
Texas troopers nab migrants as DHS issues annual threat assessment warning
Dozens of illegal immigrants from countries linked to extensive terrorist activity were caught at the southern border in Texas during the past week, authorities said Friday.
Troopers with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) encountered the migrants among two large groups. The first of 230 illegal immigrants was apprehended Sept. 30.
Among that group were 27 people from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Egypt and India, a DPS statement said. They were turned over to the federal authorities.
“It is this type of activity, these attempted illegal crossings between the ports of entry by people coming from areas that are hot spots for terrorist activity that clearly highlight the concerns of Governor Abbott and the state of Texas,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw. “These are not illegal immigrants seeking asylum – these are people trying to cross into the United States undetected who may also be trying to do us harm.”
Special interest nations are those with extensive terrorist activity.
Another 41 people in the first group were arrested for criminal trespass. They were citizens of Brazil, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Argentina, Colombia and the Dominican Republic. —>WATCH and READ MORE HERE
