Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) has forewarned that it’s just a matter of time for terror threats to eventuate on U.S. soil after Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines confirmed on May 15 that a human smuggling network with ties to the ISIS terror group was facilitating the passage of illegal immigrants across the U.S. southern border.

Mr. Cornyn said the situation at the border led him to believe that it is a question of “when,” not “if,” the threat will eventuate, during a portion of the May 15 hearing of the Senate Intelligence Committee, which was actually focused on virtual threats to the 2024 election, such as cyberattacks.
