Democratic Rep. Josh Gottheimer says the U.S. "can't run the risk" of allowing terrorist and domestic extremist groups to "carry out another attack" on the country.
"We simply can’t run the risk of funds being utilized by an ISIS-inspired terrorist or domestic extremist to carry out another attack, whether that’s at Ground Zero, a shooting in Jersey City targeting the Jewish community, in temples, at schools…" Gottheimer said.

Gottheimer said "ISIS-inspired" terrorist threats remain a top priority of federal law enforcement, but also said homegrown groups such as those that participated in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol are a rising threat that must also be addressed.
