The Kuhner Report 11/01/2023 [FULL SHOW] FBI and DHS chiefs testify on terrorism threats in US, anti-semitism and border security

TOPICS: Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and FBI Director Christopher Wray at times painted a scary picture during their Halloween testimony on Capitol Hill. The two Biden administration officials fielded questions Tuesday from members of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

Wray warned about possible terrorist attacks on U.S. soil by Hamas or other bad actors, while Mayorkas had few definitive answers on the continuing chaos at the southern border. The two men also answered questions about the growing threat of antisemitism in America since the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel.

Wray also warned the Senate committee that the threat of a Hamas-inspired attack in the U.S. is at «a whole other level». «We cannot and do not discount the possibility that Hamas or another foreign terrorist organization may exploit the current conflict to conduct attacks here on our own soil» — he said. «We have kept our sights on Hamas and have multiple ongoing investigations into individuals affiliated with that foreign terrorist organization».

In 2023 U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported that 172 individuals on the nation's terrorist watchlist were apprehended while illegally crossing the southern border.
