DHS reviewing Biden-era border crossers for potential threats, says Kristi Noem

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that the department is reviewing interviews with individuals who crossed the U.S. border during former President Biden’s administration to assess potential threats amid rising tensions with Iran. During a Senate Judiciary hearing, Noem stated that DHS is collaborating with intelligence and law enforcement agencies to identify unvetted individuals and mitigate risks of terrorism, particularly in light of recent U.S.-Israel strikes in Iran. Concerns about sleeper cells have intensified following a shooting incident in Austin, Texas, and a DHS memo warned of possible cyberattacks and lone wolf attacks linked to the escalating conflict.
