Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), Chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, argues that preventing domestic terrorist attacks like the one in New Orleans requires a significant increase in FBI presence across the country. Green points to the FBI's reduced activity in recent years after the heightened security following 9/11 and emphasizes the need to reestablish a robust network of human intelligence to identify and track individuals who become radicalized.
On Friday’s “CBS Mornings,” House Homeland Security Committee Chair Rep. Mark Green argued that preventing an attack like the New Orleans terrorist attack is “going to require boots on the ground all over the country, in places where people get radicalized.” And while the FBI had a robust presence in the wake of the September 11 attacks, they “pulled back over the past several years, and they need to put that back into place.
Green stated, “What our FBI needs is more…resources looking for individuals…that get radicalized inside our country. The fusion centers do a pretty good job most of the time, but a situation like this where a guy gets radicalized, we don’t know exactly when, and then turns — is turned on to do a mission like this, that’s the information that’s going to require boots on the ground all over the country, in places where people get radicalized.
