With ISIS all but contained and defeated at their battlefield stronghold in Iraq, and on its heels in Syria, the ideology upon which the group was founded continues to grow and fester beyond the Middle East. No matter the status of the boots on the ground jihadists in far away lands, it is imperative to our safety that we stay steps ahead of the next stage of terrorism. Failure to do so will result in our new norm that resembles what those in areas like Iraq and Syria have grown accustomed. Common held day to day ways of life will be threatened if our guards are let down.

A police officer was injured at the Bishop International Airport in Flint, Michigan, after he was attacked and stabbed in the neck. The suspect was taken into custody at the airport, which was evacuated and shut down.

Revelations that under the Obama administration, information pertaining to millions of private US citizens was shared and exposed to private entities is yet another troubling development from an already sullied intelligence cabinet.

As yet another IT staffer associated with an elected American politician faces scrutiny and investigation surrounding his role of handling classified information, it is time that Congress sends a message to the American people and those sworn to protect them that an overhaul of the vetting process is one of its highest priorities. As more revelations about these actors roles and intent from the start come to light, it is clear that too much trust is given to those who have nefarious intentions. With foreign adversaries already working hard to expose our country's secrets, violation of oaths to protect America's secrets only makes our enemies work that much easier. It is time for elected officials to send a message and find a way to prevent the trend from continuing.

When US Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program on Tuesday, he didn't merely argue that former President Obama's immigration policy was legally flawed. Sessions, among a menu of reasons, claimed failing to crack down on undocumented immigrants increases the risk of crime and terrorism. As controversial of an issue the matter has become, the fact is that there have been many times where people attempted to use or successfully used week immigration and border enforcement as a launching pad for their attacks against our country. With the safety of the country's true and legal citizens paramount, a rebuild of policy is vital to our national security interests.
