Homeland Security reports the United States is facing the highest threat of ISIS attacks since 9/11.

اقتباس :: LOS ANGELES, CA- In the written testimony of DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson for a House Committee on Homeland Security hearing titled "Worldwide Threats to the Homeland: ISIS and the New Wave of Terror," Chairman McCaul, Representative Thompson and members of the committee provided their annual report of threats to the homeland before Congress.

The meeting began simply, with a reminder of the San Bernardino and Orlando attacks. These attacks were used as "terrible reminders of the new threats we face to the homeland," the report states.

Not only is the United States subjected to terrorist attacks but it has also been dealing with several terrorist-inspired attacks from "self-radicalized" terrorists.

These threats are "often difficult to detect by our intelligence and law enforcement communities, could occur with little or no notice, and in general, make for a more complex homeland security challenge.

"This threat environment has required a whole new type of response."

Reports of using the "DHS Data Framework initiative" helps improve Homeland Security's ability to look deeper into classified information for incoming immigrants and security has been increased in several government buildings across the nation.

Grant assistance to local and state governments was also offered to hold "active shooter training exercises, overtime for police officers and firefighters, salaries for emergency managers, emergency vehicles, and communications and surveillance equipment."

The DHS is also tightening the Visa Waiver program, which allows travelers from 38 countries to enter the United States for a short amount of time without a visa.

All improved defenses, including social media, airport, and the development of biometric systems, are the result of the very serious threat of an ISIS attack as great as Al-Qaeda's on September 11, 2001.
