It highlighted the vulnerability of the US to potential terrorists sneaking across the southern border amidst the surge of migrants seeking asylum.
When asked about the possibility of an ISIS connection to the smuggling operation, Jean-Pierre responded, “The intelligence alerted us to a human smuggling network. We moved fast and successfully to disrupt it. Let’s be very clear about that.” She expressed gratitude to law enforcement for their quick work and vigilance.
Addressing concerns about potential terrorist connections, Jean-Pierre stated, “There is no sign that anyone smuggled into the US has connections to terrorist organizations.” She emphasized that individuals brought into the country through the smuggling network are undergoing extra vetting and removal proceedings. Additionally, anyone crossing the border outside of the network and matching the profile of those involved in the smuggling operation is subject to extra vetting, detention, and expedited removal proceedings.
