Sen. Josh Hawley is sounding the alarm about the number of 'special interest aliens' coming into the U.S. in the wake of the recent terror attack against Israel.
FIRST ON FOX: Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is quizzing Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on the numbers of 'special interest aliens' being allowed into the U.S., amid concerns about a potential terror threat after the recent Hamas attack on Israel. 'I write with alarm regarding the uptick in potential terrorist-linked illegal aliens encountered at the southern border.
Illegal aliens with potential ties to terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah have no place in the United States. In the wake of Hamas’s attack on Israel, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is already alerting Americans about an elevated number of violent threats,' Hawley wrote. 'It is therefore critical that you abandon your radical open border policies, and instead, take immediate action to secure the border.
Last week, DHS told Fox News Digital that DHS does 'not have specific and credible intelligence indicating a threat to the United States at this time stemming from the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel.' The DHS spokesperson added the department is 'closely monitoring unfolding events and will continue to engage in information sharing with our intelligence and law enforcement partners at home and abroad.
