<p>Homeland Security Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alejandro-mayorkas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alejandro Mayorkas</a> on Wednesday echoed the stark warning floating around federal agencies that the United States faces a heightened level of terrorism threats amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are definitely in a heightened threat environment, and we are proceeding with vigilance,&#8221; Mayorkas <a href="https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1732405908615966796" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> CNN.</p>
<p>Mayorkas doubled down on comments made earlier this week by FBI Director Christopher Wray, who claimed the bureau has seen an elevated threat environment from foreign terrorist organizations for &#8220;a whole host of reasons.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve never seen a time where all the threats, or so many of the threats, are all elevated, all at exactly the same time,&#8221; Wray <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/blinking-lights-everywhere-fbi-director-warns-foreign-terrorists-trying-to-exploit-u-s-southern-border" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. &#8220;That&#8217;s what makes this environment that we&#8217;re in now so fraught.&#8221;</p>
<p>He noted that such warnings include the vulnerability of the U.S.-Mexico border as authorities deal with a historic influx of illegal immigration crossings under the Biden administration.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of discussion about numbers &#8212; and numbers are important &#8212; but let&#8217;s not forget that it didn&#8217;t take a big number of people on 9/11 to kill 3,000 people,&#8221; Wray said. &#8220;So while numbers are important, numbers don&#8217;t tell the whole story. And we have seen an increase in so-called KSTs, Known or Suspected Terrorists, attempting to cross over the last five years.&#8221;</p>
<p>Iran — &#8220;the world&#8217;s biggest state sponsor of terrorism&#8221; — has tried to carry out multiple assassinations on U.S. soil while launching cyberattacks against children&#8217;s hospitals around the nation over the last couple of years, according to Wray. He also pointed out China is a significant contributor to the fentanyl epidemic that has killed tens of thousands of Americans per year, and that Russia is conducting aggressive cyberattacks against the U.S. regularly.</p>

<p>Wray said that he sees &#8220;blinking lights everywhere,&#8221; a visual that Mayorkas said he witnessed himself.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have seen episodes of violence in this country that speak tragically to that reality,&#8221; Mayorkas said. &#8220;We are also doing something about it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mayorkas said the two federal law enforcement agencies have been working hand-in-hand to disseminate information to the private sector and the general public about mitigating threats.</p>
<p>U.S. officials <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-urges-precautions-faith-communities-amid-antisemitism-islamophobia-2023-12-06/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> issued the security guidance measures to Jewish and Islamic communities as threats have increased since October 7 after Hamas terrorized the Jewish state of Israel.</p>
<p>Recommendations reportedly include faith leaders &#8220;developing a security plan, putting an individual or a committee in charge of security, completing risk assessment, coordinating with local community and identifying available resources,&#8221; according to Reuters.</p>
<p>Mayorkas joined Attorney General Merrick Garland to speak with faith leaders about how they can guard against security threats.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are meeting today at a time when the fear so many communities are facing is palpable,&#8221; Garland said in opening remarks.</p>
