President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming “border czar” Tom Homan has issued a stark warning about the precarious state of U.S. national security following the recent terror attack in New Orleans and the shocking Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day. In a recent interview on “America Reports,” the former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement director expressed grave concerns about the vulnerability of the southern border and the potential risks it poses to national security.
## The New Orleans Terror Attack
The suspect behind the brutal New Year’s attack in New Orleans has been identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who plowed into crowds at a parade on Bourbon Street, leaving at least 14 people dead and over 30 injured before being killed in a shootout with police. Jabbar, a U.S. native born in Texas, had alarming ties to ISIS and had served in the U.S. military prior to carrying out the horrific attack.
## The Cybertruck Explosion at Trump Hotel
Authorities have also identified Matthew Livelsberger, an active-duty U.S. Army soldier serving with the 10th Special Forces Group, as the suspect behind the Tesla Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas. The truck, loaded with gasoline, camp fuel containers, and firework mortars, detonated outside the Trump International Hotel, raising concerns about the nature of the attack and its potential connection to the New Orleans incident.
## Tom Homan’s Insights
Tom Homan emphasized the urgent need for enhanced border security measures to safeguard the nation against such threats and called for a renewed focus on “insider threat analysis” within the military and federal service. Despite the FBI’s assertion that there is currently no definitive link between the two attacks, Homan expressed a gut feeling that there may be underlying connections waiting to be uncovered.
As investigations into these devastating events continue, it is evident that the specter of terrorism looms large, underscoring the critical importance of proactive security measures and vigilant monitoring to protect the nation and its citizens.
