Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): US Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in an interview with ABC News regarding the recent incident in New Orleans: "In the past 10 years, we have witnessed a significant increase in 'domestic violent extremism.'"
He emphasized that there are both foreign terrorist threats and domestic opposition in the US.
Mayorkas emphasized that this is precisely why the Department of Homeland Security was created in the US, to counter foreign threats.
The US Homeland Security Secretary added: This is a very difficult threat landscape, and for this reason we as a single society (both the federal government, state and local authorities and the public) must be vigilant and take the necessary precautions to prevent any violence from occurring.
In response to the question of whether the deadly incident in New Orleans was related to immigrants and the openness of the US borders to immigration, he emphasized that the attacker in this incident is an American citizen and was born in the US, so this incident is not related to the openness of the US borders to immigrants.
The US Federal Police announced in a statement that an attacker named "Shamsuddin Jabbar", 42, a resident of Houston, Texas, drove a truck into a crowd celebrating New Year's Eve in the city of "New Orleans", during which 10 people were killed and more than 30 others were injured.
This is while many experts consider the US to be the main factor in the emergence and expansion of ISIS in the West Asia region.
