  • Former CIA officer Sarah Adams warns over 1,000 al-Qaeda-trained fighters are on U.S. soil, citing intelligence and the recent New Orleans terror attack.
  • The New Orleans attack, involving a vehicle ramming, mirrors ISIS and al-Qaeda tactics, highlighting a global trend of vehicle-based terrorism.
  • Adams links the Biden administration’s open border policies and Afghanistan withdrawal to increased terrorist threats and sleeper cell networks.
  • The U.S. is unprepared for coordinated attacks, with terrorists exploiting weak border controls and intelligence gaps.
  • Immediate action is needed to secure borders, strengthen intelligence, and dismantle terrorist networks to prevent future attacks.
The chilling warning from former CIA officer Sarah Adams that more than 1,000 al-Qaeda-trained fighters are already on U.S. soil should serve as a wake-up call to every American. In a recent interview on the Shawn Ryan Show, Adams detailed how these terrorists, emboldened by the Biden administration’s disastrous open borders policy, are preparing for a coordinated attack on the U.S. Her words are not speculative; they are grounded in intelligence and underscored by the recent New Orleans terror attack, which left 15 people dead and 30 injured. The New Orleans attack, carried out by 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, mirrors the tactics al-Qaeda and ISIS have used for years. Jabbar, a U.S. Army veteran, drove a rented pickup truck into a crowd of New Year’s revelers on Bourbon Street, flying an ISIS flag from the vehicle. This method of using vehicles as weapons has become a hallmark of modern terrorism as it requires minimal planning and resources while inflicting maximum carnage.

A pattern of terror

The New Orleans attack is not an isolated incident. It follows a global trend of vehicle-based terrorism, popularized by ISIS and other jihadist groups. From the 2016 Bastille Day attack in Nice, France, to the 2017 Halloween truck attack in New York City, these tactics have proven devastatingly effective. What’s worse, Adams warns that al-Qaeda and ISIS operatives are now blending their efforts, making it harder for intelligence agencies to predict their next move. Adams’ assessment is clear: the U.S. is unprepared for what’s coming. She points to the Biden administration’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan as a catalyst for al-Qaeda’s resurgence. The Taliban’s return to power has emboldened jihadist groups worldwide, and the open southern border has provided an easy entry point for terrorists. According to Adams, many of these fighters entered the U.S. through the Darien Gap, a dangerous route through Central and South America that has become a highway for criminals and terrorists alike. The Biden administration’s failure to secure the border is not just a policy failure—it’s a national security crisis. By dismantling effective border controls and halting construction of the border wall, the administration has created a vacuum that terrorists are exploiting. The result? A growing network of sleeper cells operating within our borders, waiting for the signal to strike.

The stakes couldn't be higher

The New Orleans attack is a grim reminder of the stakes. While local law enforcement did their best to protect the public, the reality is that no amount of police presence can fully prevent such attacks. As Adams noted, terrorists adapt quickly, finding ways to circumvent even the most robust security measures. This is not a time for complacency. The Biden administration’s open borders policy has made the country less safe, and its refusal to acknowledge the threat of Islamic terrorism is inexcusable. The president’s focus on divisive domestic policies and global climate initiatives has come at the expense of national security. Adams’ warning is clear: the threat is real, and it’s growing. The U.S. must take immediate steps to secure its borders, strengthen intelligence-sharing, and dismantle terrorist networks before it’s too late. The alternative—more attacks like the one in New Orleans—is unthinkable. In the meantime, Americans must remain vigilant. The Second Amendment exists for moments like this, when the government fails to protect its citizens. As Adams and others have emphasized, the best defense against terrorism is a well-armed and prepared populace. The Biden administration’s failures have left the door wide open for terrorists. It’s time to shut that door—before it’s too late. Sources for this article include: ZeroHedge.com MSN.com WCBM.com Reuters.com
