Sen. Lindsey Graham is requesting a full Senate classified briefing on the threat posed by ISIS due to vulnerabilities at the southern border.
FIRST ON FOX: Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is asking Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to organize a full briefing for lawmakers in the chamber on the threat of ISIS terrorism presented by the vulnerable southern border. The senator requested the leaders' 'immediate assistance' to set up a classified briefing for senators on the issue in a letter sent Tuesday.
His urgency on the matter was prompted by a recent revelation that eight Tajikistan nationals with ties to ISIS were busted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the FBI in New York City, Los Angeles and Philadelphia after entering the country illegally over the southern border. The sting was first reported by the New York Post’s Jennie Taer. A federal source told Fox News that the suspected terrorists had been fully vetted prior to being released into the country.
Director Christopher Wray testified last year that foreign terrorists who are potentially among groups of individuals illegally crossing the border are a 'source of great concern for us. That's why we're aggressively using all 56 of our joint terrorism task forces.' Wray further revealed at the time that they had observed an increase in known or suspected terrorists that have sought to cross the border over the last five years.
