” From the Biden-Harris government’s chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal and the spillover effects of the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks against our alliance Israel to the risks caused by our wide-open territories, the United States is facing a powerful and worsening evil risk landscape”, Committee Chairman Mark Green, R-Tenn., said.
International ideology organizations like ISIS and Hizballah, as well as domestic violent fanatics ideologically motivated by these terrorist organizations, current safety hazards to the country. Every risk that comes our way has a purpose for the Department of Homeland Security, which is to defend the country’s citizens. Yet the FBI director has noted that the method is again blinking red.
