(Daily Caller) Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas couldn’t provide the number of illegal immigrants in the country that are known to be tied to terrorist organizations operating in the Middle East during a Senate hearing on Tuesday.
Republican Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall asked Mayorkas about the issue during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing. Federal authorities recently warned Border Patrol that Hamas, Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad could be crossing the southern border amid the war between Israel and Hamas, according to an internal memo exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
