FBI Director Warns of ISIS-Linked Smuggling Network at U.S. Southern Border

Christopher Wray, FBI Director, expressed concerns over a smuggling network with ISIS ties facilitating illegal crossings, highlighting the heightened threat level since the Hamas attacks on Israel.

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified about a smuggling network with ISIS ties trafficking migrants across the U.S. southern border, raising national security concerns.
Wray emphasized the network's potential threat during Senate and House Intelligence Committee hearings, noting the FBI's ongoing investigation into its activities.
The FBI has seen an increase in known or suspected terrorists using fake IDs to cross the border, complicating efforts to track and mitigate threats.
Wray highlighted the broader range of dangers at the border, including drug trafficking and violent crime, with the FBI seizing enough fentanyl in the last two years to kill 270 million people.
The intelligence community warns that the conflict in Gaza may have a generational impact on terrorism, with jihadist cells inspired by the Hamas attacks against Israel.
