McCaul on Reports of ISIS Smuggling Operation: U.S. Is Ticking Time Bomb

Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) - chairman emeritus of the House Committee on Homeland Security - released the following statement on new reports that an ISIS-affiliated smuggling network brought more than 400 illegal immigrants to the U.S.

"The Biden administration is so concerned with the optics of detaining individuals who willingly broke U.S. law that it has dismantled our vetting system, releasing violent criminals and terrorist suspects into our communities. Now 50 individuals with ties to ISIS are roaming free in our country, and we have no idea where they are or what they are planning. To put it simply, President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas have turned our nation into a ticking time bomb. We need new leadership in the White House before another disaster strikes."
