FBI Director Christopher Wray warned that the U.S. now faces an increasing threat of terrorism at its borders.
While speaking in front of the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday, Wray claimed that the October 7th attack on Israel has inspired calls for violence around the world.
He admitted that this threat is compounding with the flood of illegal immigrants at the Southern border, with many dangerous individuals making it past border patrol.
Often times, criminals in third world countries who are facing prosecution are told to leave their native countries, due to prison systems that are overcapacity, if they wish to avoid consequences of their criminality.
“First, you’ve seen a veritable rogues gallery of foreign terrorist organizations, calling for terrorist attacks against us in a way that we haven’t seen in a long, long time,” Wray said. “And these are terrorist organizations, as this committee knows very well, which often don’t see eye to eye on much, but they seem to see eye to eye on this. I would add to that, that we are very concerned about the risk of inspired attacks, lone actors uh here, inspired by some of those same calls for violence from over in the Middle East.”
The FBI chief stressed that Americans should not panic over the threat of terrorism, but should still remain vigilant.
