SAN YSIDRO, Calif. — A San Diego County Supervisor is calling on President Joe Biden to declare a national terrorism alert.Supervisor Jim Desmond has a long track record of calling out the federal government over claims it hasn't acted to fix the problems at the border.Earlier this month 8 Tajikistan nationals were arrested in the U.S. on immigration violations, accused of having ties to ISIS.
Desmond did not specify which level he wanted to see issued, but ABC 10News asked the conservative supervisor if his request was political, or in an attempt to be productive. Specifically, Desmond was asked if an alert would actually do anything. In his request, Desmond pointed to comments from FBI director Christopher Wray, who in April said he feared a coordinated attack on the U.S. Wray added the threat level has never been higher.
Even with the arrests of the Tajikistan nationals, Desmond knows his request is probably not going anywhere with the President.
