Last month, an identifiably Jewish Chicago man was shot while walking to synagogue on the Sabbath. While attacks against American Jews have generally been prosecuted as “assaults” or “hate crimes,” this time the assailant was charged with “terrorism.” A native of Mauritania, he had been “encountered by US Border Patrol at the California border in 2023,” according to ICE, but then entered the country.

- How much do Federal authorities actually know about would-be terrorists crossing America’s insecure borders?
- What steps are they taking to secure our country?
- With the new administration, what changes are likely along the borders – and have we already seen some?
