(Hill) House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is asking the FBI and CIA for a classified briefing with other top lawmakers following reports that two people on the … FBI’s terror watchlist were apprehended after crossing the southern border with Mexico.
“This highlights the ongoing national security risk posed by the border crisis,” McCarthy wrote in a letter to the leaders of the two agencies. “While I am grateful for the Border Patrol for doing all they can, I have great concerns for a number of bad actors that have escaped arrest and are living in the United States.”
McCarthy requested the briefing on the arrests for himself, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.).
