Recent Attacks and Plots

The Terror Threat Snapshot highlights 60+ cases (2021–2025) tied to ISIS, Hezbollah, and al-Qaeda, including:

  • Two National Guard soldiers killed by an ISIS gunman in Syria.
  • Afghan parolees arrested for terrorism, including:

    • A Texas man plotting a 9/11-style attack.
    • A Virginia ISIS supporter.
  • Three Michigan men charged with ISIS support (DOJ).
  • A Palestinian Hamas operative arrested in Louisiana for Oct. 7, 2023, attack involvement (DOJ).
  • A Pakistani ISIS supporter sentenced for plotting NYC attacks.
  • Two Utah men arrested for attempting to bomb a Fox 13 vehicle.

Domestic and Global Threats

The report also warns of rising domestic terrorism, including attacks on ICE officers and increased antisemitic violence.

“Twenty-four years after 9/11, what we heard from Director Kent should disturb every American,” said Committee Chairman Andrew Garbarino (R-NY). He blamed Biden’s “open-border policies” and Afghanistan withdrawal for fueling terrorism risks.

A “Whole-of-Government” Response

Garbarino called for congressional oversight and legislative action to strengthen counterterrorism efforts.

“Congress has an immense responsibility to ensure our agencies have the resources to succeed in this no-fail mission,” he said.

What’s Next?

The report underscores urgent threats—from foreign terrorists exploiting U.S. borders to homegrown extremists. With terrorism cases in 25+ states, lawmakers warn of growing dangers—and demand action.

“The Biden administration’s failures have made America less safe,” Garbarino said. “We must act now.”
