Lindsey Graham requests full Senate briefing on ISIS border threat after terrorist bust
Fox News
Sen. Lindsey Graham is requesting a full Senate classified briefing on the threat posed by ISIS due to vulnerabilities at the southern border.
Graham's urgency on the matter was prompted by a recent revelation that eight Tajikistan nationals with ties to ISIS were busted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the FBI in New York City, Los Angeles and Philadelphia after entering the country illegally over the southern border. The sting was first reported by the New York Post’s Jennie Taer. Julia Johnson is a politics writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business, leading coverage of the U.S. Senate.
