Terrorist Threats at the Southern Border: White House Dodges Questions, Senators Demand Answers

The White House refused to answer whether terrorists have already crossed over the southern border, despite increased security threats in the Middle East and a Customs and Border Protection bulletin warning of the risk. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby stated that they are always concerned about the potential presence of terrorists on U.S. soil but did not directly address the possibility of terrorists already being in the country. Kirby called on Congress to pass a supplemental border funding package and emphasized that they take the potential threat seriously.
