FBI Director Kash Patel warned the U.S. needs to be ‘more vigilant’ about what is coming in across the Canadian border as adversaries have ‘adapted.’
The top law enforcement officer made the claim while testifying before lawmakers in the House Intelligence Committee about global threats on Wednesday.
‘Known and suspected terrorists are flowing in through our northern border more than they are our southern border,’ Patel warned.
He attributed it to the ‘successes we’ve had at closing our southern border.’
Patel was answering questions from Congressman Greg Steube when he made the admission while discussing the flow of fentanyl across the U.S. border.
