FBI Director Christopher Wray on Thursday will warn of an “elevated threat” to U.S. public safety and national security while advocating for an increased budget.
“Looking back over my career in law enforcement, I’d be hard-pressed to think of a time where so many threats to our public safety and national security were so elevated all at once,” Wray will say to the House Appropriations subcommittee hearing on Thursday afternoon. “But that is the case as I sit here today. This is not a point when we can let up.”
Wray will argue at the hearing that the federal agency needs fiscal support to “tackle these threats” to keep American citizens safe.
“This is by no means a time to let up or dial back. This is a time when we need your support the most — we need all the tools, all the people, and all the resources required to tackle these threats and to keep Americans safe,” Wray is expected to say, according to his prepared remarks.
“Our most immediate concern has been that individuals or small groups will draw twisted inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks here at home. But now increasingly concerning is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland, akin to the ISIS-K attack we saw at the Russia Concert Hall a couple weeks ago,” Wray’s statement also warns.
It is uncertain whether Wray will address the matter of terrorists illegally coming across the border.
As of March 1, so far this fiscal year, 70 foreign nationals on the FBI’s #terrorwatchlist have been caught entering the US between the ports of entry – 69 at the southern border and 1 at the northern border. Another 140 on the #terrorwatchlist have been caught at the actual ports of entry – 126 at the northern border, and 14 at the southern border.
