GOP senators demand enhanced border security plan from Biden over threats by ‘global terrorist groups’

FIRST ON FOX: Senate Republicans are demanding the Biden administration show Congress a plan by next week to crack down on national security threats at the southern border after a record number of people on the FBI’s terror watch list were arrested by border officials last month. 

A letter led by Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind., and signed by 10 more GOP senators pointed to the ongoing war between Israel and terror group Hamas in “the importance of vigilance against global terrorist groups both internationally and domestically.”

The message, addressed to President Biden himself, requested that he “provide Members of Congress a senior-level classified briefing” on his “plan and intentions to support the security of the homeland.” The senators are asking for the briefing to be held no later than Nov. 8.
