Presenter says authorities stopped four terrorism plots in December, blames 'open border' policies
Summary
A presenter said authorities stopped four terrorist plots in December and blamed "open border" policies for enabling suspects to enter the U.S.; the transcript attributes the claims to the speaker and does not provide independent verification or formal law-enforcement evidence.
A presenter said authorities stopped four terrorist plots in December and blamed "president Biden's open border policies" for allowing suspects to enter the United States.
"We were able to stop 4 terrorist attacks affiliated directly with ISIS and other foreign terrorist organizations ... from California to New York to Florida and North Carolina and Texas," the presenter said, attributing the disruptions to recent enforcement work.
The speaker also named several groups and individuals, saying "a terrorist organization out of Iran, Katai Hespelow, when it comes to Al Saudi," and asserting that "Flores is, directly tied as a senior most member of Trende Aragua." The presenter said investigations and arrests have occurred both overseas and inside the U.S., and characterized prior immigration policies as "corrupt" for allowing some suspects entry.
On the role of federal agencies, the presenter said "the intelligence community and this FBI have no greater priority than that," using the phrase to describe a national security focus. (Federal Bureau of Investigation is referred to in the transcript as "this FBI" and is listed here as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).)
The transcript records strong, unequivocal claims by the speaker but does not include corroborating evidence, specific case names, court filings, or law-enforcement statements that would independently verify the assertions. The remarks contain specific numbers, place names and group names as the speaker reported them; those details are presented here as claims made in the address rather than verified facts.
No formal motions, votes or other official actions are recorded in the transcript excerpt. The address closes with the presenter saying officials will continue to "manhunt" individuals worldwide and prioritize national-security work, but the transcript does not specify next procedural steps, investigations, or public documents that would substantiate the claims.
