    For Sale: DOGE moves to sell off almost half a billion in federal real estate, relocate cabinet agency HQs
    EXCLUSIVE: The Senates DOGE leader is hoping to give the U.S. Treasury another boost in cutting the $36 trillion national debt, this time by selling off some major real estate in Washington, D.C., currently home to several prominent cabinet agencies.The headquarters of the Departments of Energy, Housing & Urban Development, along with ancillary buildings home to other top agencies, would be sold off but without attrition or layoffs, as the employees therein would be relocated elsewhere, according to Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa.The "For Sale Act" would put the James Forrestal Federal Building on the market, one of six properties identified by the Senate DOGE Caucus as ripe for removal from the federal governments portfolio.The imposing modernist structure, which hovers across LEnfant Plaza as a cross between an office building and a pedestrian bridge, was once known as the "Little Pentagon" and home to overflow Department of Defense personnel during the Vietnam War.REPUBLICAN SENATORS ROLL OUT DOGE BUDGET PROPOSALS FOR TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL'The Department of Energy moved in after then-President Jimmy Carter created the agency in 1977.Several other buildings along Independence Avenue in the Federal Center section of Washington so named for its panoply of federal offices would hit the market as well.Directly west of the Forrestal, one of the Agriculture Departments outbuildings on Independence is on DOGEs list for mandatory sale.NATIONAL DEBT TRACKER: AMERICAN TAXPAYERS (YOU) ARE NOW ON THE HOOK FOR $36,215,685,667.36 AS OF 6/9/25That building is at about one-quarter capacity and is in need of nearly $2 billion in upgrades or maintenance, Republicans said.Ernst quipped the Agriculture building is the perfect "fixer-upper" to be on the market.The Hubert H. Humphrey Jr. building named for former President Lyndon Johnsons vice president can be seen by traffic glancing right as they exit Interstate 395s Third Street Tunnel near the U.S. Capitol.AMERICA HAS DOGE FEVER: STATES FROM NJ TO TX DRAFT SIMILAR INITIATIVES AS FEDERAL LEADERS CELEBRATEIt houses the Department of Health and Human Services and would also be required to be put on the market within 18 months of the For Sale Acts passage.The Department of Housing and Urban Developments headquarters is also on the list, as the curved X-shaped granite building, officially called the Robert C. Weaver Federal Building, is "underutilized," according to DOGEs rubric.The Theodore Roosevelt Building, at the foot of Interstate 66 just west of the White House, along with the Frances Perkins Federal Building on the other side of the city, rounds out the list.The legislation would also have safeguards against foreign entities buying up the buildings as China and other rivals have purchased land by proxy very close to sensitive installations like a major Air Force base in North Dakota.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAdditionally, any entity in which a foreign national is a "beneficial owner" would be prohibited from participating in any federal real estate sales.Taxpayers shell out about $81 million to maintain underutilized or unutilized federal offices, according to a Biden-era report to Congress from the Office of Management and Budget.About 7,700 federal office spaces are vacant and 2,200 are majority-empty, according to a Congressional Research Service report.Annual maintenance on 277,000 federal buildings tops $10 billion per year, according to an April Government Accountability Office report.Ernst and DOGE previously successfully mandated the sale of the aging Wilbur J. Cohen Federal Building in Federal Center. Within its 1.2 million square feet, only 72 people were working there as of 2024.It formerly housed offices for Voice of America and the U.S. Broadcasting Board of Governors.

    Democratic Sen. Fetterman shuts down AOC's call for Trump's impeachment after Iran strikes
    Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman shot down "Squad" Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's call to impeach President Donald Trump for ordering airstrikes against key Iranian nuclear sites, telling Fox News that the proposal isn't "going anywhere.""Of course, no [he should not be impeached]," the Keystone State Democrat said on "America's Newsroom," Monday."She knows it. I know it. We all know it that's not going anywhere. He's been impeached twice, and now he's still our president as well too, so it's not going anywhere, and I don't think [bringing it up is] helpful."FETTERMAN BACKS TRUMP AFTER IRAN STRIKES: 'THE CORRECT MOVE'Trump drew ire from many on the left and from some in his own party for launching the surprise attack known as "Operation Midnight Hammer" against Iran's key nuclear sites without congressional approval on Saturday.In an X post reacting to the news, Ocasio-Cortez wrote, "The Presidents disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers."AOC, OTHER ANGRY DEMOCRATS, CALL FOR TRUMP IMPEACHMENT OVER ATTACK ON IRAN"He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment."Fetterman, who has been supportive of Israel and critical of Iran, said that tossing around the word "impeachment" diminishes the severity of what it should be reserved for."Operation Midnight Hammer" employed B-2 stealth bombers to strike three Iranian nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan after a long journey across the Atlantic on Saturday.In an address to the nation shortly after, Trump touted the mission as a "spectacular military success."Fox News' Emma Colton contributed to this report.

    Johnny Depp says he was a 'crash test dummy for MeToo,' accuses Hollywood pals of abandoning him to 'go woke'
    Johnny Depp is reflecting on the relationship that changed the course of his life - both professionally and personally.In a new interview with The Times, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor - whose marriage to Amber Heard was highly publicized following their 2017 divorce - opened up about the domestic abuse allegations that were made against him and explained why he was determined to "fight to the bitter f---ing end" to clear his name."Look, it had gone far enough," said Depp, who claimed he was libeled by Heard when she wrote an op-ed piece describing herself as a "public figure representing domestic abuse" in 2018. "I knew Id have to semi-eviscerate myself."JOHNNY DEPP AND AMBER HEARD CHART NEW LIVES THREE YEARS AFTER COURTROOM DRAMADepp's lawyers said he was defamed by the article even though it never mentioned his name because, they argued, it referenced abuse allegations Heard had made against Depp during divorce proceedings.A high-profile trial ensued in 2022 in which the exes accused each other of physical and verbal abuse."Ill tell you what hurts," Depp said about the aftermath of Heard's allegations. "There are people, and Im thinking of three, who did me dirty. Those people were at my kids parties. Throwing them in the air. And, look, I understand people who could not stand up [for me], because the most frightening thing to them was making the right choice. I was pre-MeToo. I was like a crash test dummy for MeToo. It was before Harvey Weinstein. And I sponged it, took it all in. And so I wanted from the hundreds of people Ive met in that industry to see who was playing it safe. Better go woke!"LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"I have no regrets about anything because, truly, what can we do about last weeks dinner? Not a f---ing thing," he added.On the topic of his ex-wife's claims against him, Depp said, "Everyone was saying, Itll go away!' But I cant trust that. What will go away? The fiction pawned around the f---ing globe? No it wont. If I dont try to represent the truth it will be like Ive actually committed the acts I am accused of. And my kids will have to live with it. Their kids. Kids that Ive met in hospitals. So the night before the trial in Virginia, I didnt feel nervous. If you dont have to memorise lines, if youre just speaking the truth? Roll the dice."The jury awarded Depp $10 million in damages but also awarded $2 million to Heard. Depps camp said the deal includes a $1 million payment from her to him to settle all financial claims.The couple, who wed in 2015, separated in 2016. Less than a week after filing for divorce, Heard filed a domestic restraining order against her husband on grounds of domestic abuse charges, People reported.Just one day ahead of their scheduled restraining order hearing, they reached a $7 million settlement in their divorce, the outlet reported. Their divorce was finalized in 2017.Depp, who said that Hollywood executives "stopped calling" amid the scandal, which he referred to as a "soap opera" that was "literally televised," has since worked on multiple projects.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"I keep wondering about the word comeback because I didnt go anywhere, matter of fact I live 45 minutes away," Depp said in May 2023 at the Cannes Film Festival while promoting his film "Day Drinker" with Penelope Cruz. "Maybe people stopped calling out of whatever their fear was at the time."WATCH: AMBER HEARD SPEAKS OUT AFTER COURT BATTLE WITH JOHNNY DEPP: SHE'S REPUBLISHING, SAYS NANCY GRACEHe added, "But no, I didnt go nowhere. Ive been sitting around, so comeback is sort of like, you know, its almost like Im gonna come out and do a tap dance."Despite his return to Hollywood, Depp told The Times he prefers to stay out of the spotlight."Well, to this day I just rarely go out," he said. "If friends invite me out for Mexican, I say, Dude, thats sweet of you, but I will ruin your night. My presence will bring attention and, Jesus, I have had almost 40 years of fame, but Im still not used to it. And Im glad Im not.""I can be isolated and happier than a clam," he added. "But I dont get out much. Im stuck with my thoughts; just thinking, writing or watching weird s--- on YouTube. It cant be healthy."Fox News Digital's Stephanie Nolasco contributed to this post.

    Pacers staff confronts ESPN camera capturing emotional TJ McConnell after NBA Finals loss to Thunder
    While the Oklahoma City Thunder celebrated the teams first NBA title since relocating in 2008, the Indiana Pacers were reeling from Game 7s loss in the NBA Finals.It came down to one final game after a grueling battle throughout the regular season and postseason for both teams, but one was always going to come out victorious over the other. It was the home Thunder who ran away with it in the second half, and the emotions of the loss were hard for some Pacers players, including veteran guard T.J. McConnell.McConnell, who poured in 16 points after Indiana lost Tyrese Haliburton for the game with a right Achilles injury,was clearly emotional as he left the court following the 103-91 loss.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe devastation of falling just short was still setting in as he walked through the visitors tunnel accompanied by Karen Atkeson, the Pacers vice president of Player Relations.The two embraced as they walked toward the locker room, and McConnell stopped to lean on Atkesons shoulder to presumably let out all of his emotions.THUNDER BLOW OUT PACERS IN GAME 7 TO WIN NBA CHAMPIONSHIPAn ESPN camera was capturing the moment, and Atkeson did not appreciate it, shooing away the cameraman while comforting McConnell."Stop, stop," Atkeson was heard saying while waving the camera away from her and McConnell.McConnell was also spotted sharing a hug with Pacers great Reggie Miller, who was in the Paycom Center supporting his former team in Game 7. Miller, in the back hallways leading to the locker room, consoled McConnell, who remained emotional after the game.The Pacers and Thunder were trading blows on the offensive end once the game began, but Haliburtons Achilles injury put a damper on what could have been a fantastic end for him after hitting all but one of his four three-point attempts in the first quarter.McConnell and the other Pacers were tasked with picking up the slack, and though the 10-year veteran did his part, Indiana had trouble with turnovers and the Thunder capitalized.McConnell completed his sixth NBA season with the Pacers after beginning his career with the Philadelphia 76ers.In this years playoffs, he averaged 9.5 points, 4.0 assists and 3.3 rebounds over 23 games, while shooting 53.7% from the field.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    BBC presenter goes viral for correcting 'pregnant people' phrasing to 'women' during live broadcast
    BBC presenter Martine Croxall corrected the term "pregnant people" to "women" on Saturday during a live broadcast as she was reporting on heat-related illnesses."London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine has released research which says that nearly 600 heat-related deaths are expected in the U.K.," Croxall began."Malcolm Mistry, who was involved in the research, says that the aged, pregnant people women ," she said, pausing briefly with an edge in her voice, "and those with pre-existing health conditions need to take precautions."The term "pregnant people" is intended to include biological women who can get pregnant but dont identify as women.'PREGNANT PERSONS': OHIO SEN. SHERROD BROWN SCRUBBED WOMEN FROM BILL ON PREGNANCYThe clip went viral on social media and Croxall drew praise from opponents of overly politically correct language. Croxall posted on X on Saturday thanking her followers for the support she garnered due to the clip and said, "It's been quite a ride."Croxall also responded to several social media reactions to the clip, including one who wondered if the clip was AI."It isn't," she wrote.BBC's style guide does not include specific rules about using the term "pregnant people."The study Croxall references includes a quote from Dr. Malcolm Mistry, a professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who used the term "pregnant people.""Our study should be taken as a warning. Exposure to temperatures in the high 20s or low 30s may not seem dangerous, but they can be fatal, particularly for people aged over 65, infants, pregnant people, and those with pre-existing health conditions," Mistry said.Fox News Digital reached out to the BBC for comment, but it declined to provide a response on the record.'HARRY POTTER' ACTOR STANDS BY JK ROWLING AT TONY AWARDS AMID CRITICISM OF HER TRANSGENDER VIEWSThe clip was lauded by J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series and a staunch defender of women-only spaces, who wrote on X, "I have a new favourite BBC presenter."Rowling got into a back-and-forth on X with singer Boy George earlier this month over transgender rights. The Harry Potter author asked on social media on June 11, "Which rights have been taken away from trans people?"The singer, whose full name is George O'Dowd, responded to Rowling's post by saying, "The right to be left alone by a rich bored bully!"

    Trump campaign unleashes PAC to oust GOP congressman who questioned authority to strike Iran
    President Donald Trump's political team has launched a political action committee (PAC) targeting GOP Rep. Thomas Massie's congressional seat in 2026, Fox News Digital has confirmed.Chris LaCivita, a veteran Republican strategist who was co-campaign manager for Trump's 2024 presidential bid, and Tony Fabrizio, longtime GOP pollster and Trump's top pollster in 2024, will steer the "Kentucky PAC."It is the first time the Trump campaign apparatus has directly targeted an incumbent Republican through a super PAC, and the move signals an aggressive new strategy to hold congressional Republicans accountable for thwarting Trump's legislative agenda.The news was first reported by Axios on Sunday night.As the president considered whether to strike Iran's nuclear facilities, Massie emerged as the leading Republican voice willing to challenge Trump's constitutional authority to usher the U.S. into the burgeoning conflict between Israel and Iran. When Trump announced successful strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran on Saturday night, Massie was clear in his rebuttal, "This is not constitutional."THOMAS MASSIE SAYS HE FEELS MISLED BY TRUMP AFTER IRAN STRIKES: 'HE'S ENGAGED IN WAR'"FAFO .working on the FO " LaCivita responded to Massie on Saturday, which means, "F--- around and find out."'NOT CONSTITUTIONAL': CONGRESS EVOKES NEW WAR POWERS RESOLUTION TO REJECT TRUMP'S STRIKES ON IRANBy Sunday night, LaCivita confirmed the Axios report, responding on X, "Heres the FO" a clear message to Massie, and any Republican who undermines the president, that Trump's political arm is prepared to respond.Massie was elected U.S. representative for Kentucky's fourth congressional district in 2012. The fiscal firebrand, one of the few remaining House GOP members willing to disagree with Trump, staved off Republican primary challenges in deep red Kentucky in 2020 and again in 2024.Last week, the Republican co-sponsored the War Powers Resolution along with 48 Democrats, trying to prevent Trump from striking Iran without congressional approval. Congress has the sole power to declare war under Article I of the Constitution.The War Powers Resolution seeks to "remove United States Armed Forces from unauthorized hostilities in the Islamic State of Iran" and directs Trump to "terminate" the deployment of American troops against Iran without an "authorized declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military forces against Iran."When Trump announced America's successful strikes on Iran without congressional approval Massie and his Democratic co-sponsors, including Rep. Ro Khanna, were quick to criticize the president on social media and during a joint appearance on CBS News' "Face the Nation" Sunday."I feel a bit misled," Massie told Fox News Digital in a Sunday afternoon interview. "I didn't think he would let neocons determine his foreign policy and drag us into another war."The Kentucky Republican has broken from Trump on several other occasions and has been one of the few GOP officials to openly clash with the president particularly on government spending and foreign intervention.Trump threatened to primary Massie for his unwillingness to bend on the House GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill negotiations, comments Massie subsequently used in fundraising messages for his 2026 re-election campaign.Massie was one of just two House Republicans who voted against Trump's megabill last month, arguing it did not do enough to tackle the country's enormous national debt, which sits at well over $36 trillion.In a lengthy Truth Social post Sunday afternoon, Trump signaled he had enough of Massie's dissent, claiming "MAGA doesn't want him, doesn't know him, and doesn't respect him," and once again called him a "grandstander."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"MAGA should drop this pathetic LOSER, Tom Massie, like the plague! The good news is that we will have a wonderful American Patriot running against him in the Republican Primary, and Ill be out in Kentucky campaigning really hard. MAGA is not about lazy, grandstanding, nonproductive politicians, of which Thomas Massie is definitely one," Trump said Sunday.Massie did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's inquiry about the Kentucky PAC.

    Simple daily activity could reduce risk of lower back pain, study finds
    Taking longer walks could actually improve back pain, according to a new study.Researchers in Norway investigated how chronic low back pain, a "prevalent and costly condition," could be reduced by regular physical activity, including accessible walking.The study, published in the journal JAMA Network Open, measured daily walking volume and walking intensity among more than 11,000 participants over the age of 20.IM A SPINAL SURGEON HERE'S HOW YOUR POSTURE IS KILLING YOUR BACK'The participants then reported any incidences of lower back pain lasting three months or longer in the past year.Walking for more than 100 minutes per day resulted in a 23% lower risk of pain compared to walking less than 78 minutes per day, according to the results.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthWalking intensity was also associated with chronic lower back pain risk, but to a "lesser degree" than walking volume, researchers noted."In this cohort study, daily walking volume and walking intensity were inversely associated with the risk of chronic [lower back pain]," the study concluded."The findings suggest that walking volume may have a more pronounced benefit than walking intensity."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"These findings suggest that policies and public health strategies promoting walking could help to reduce the occurrence of chronic [lower back pain]."Dr. Arthur L. Jenkins III, board-certified neurosurgeon and founder of Jenkins NeuroSpine in New York City, confirmed in an interview with Fox News Digital that long walks "are good," as long as other orthopedic issues don't make it difficult to walk."I always encourage my patients to walk, and to engage their core (squeeze their abs and back) while walking to exercise more than just their legs, and straighten their backs," he advised.Statistics show that more than one-quarter of Americans report experiencing chronic lower back or sciatic pain.Fox News Digital reached out to the study authors for comment.

    Trump slams Russia's casual threat to arm Iran with nuclear weapons: Thats why Putins the boss
    President Donald Trump took a swipe at former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for suggesting that other countries would step in to supply Iran with nuclear warheads in retaliation for the U.S. strikes on Saturday that targeted three Iranian nuclear facilities."Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the N word (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran? Did he really say that or, is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY. The N word should not be treated so casually. I guess thats why Putins THE BOSS," Trump said in a Truth Social Post on Monday.Trumps comments came after Medvedev, now the deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, said that Iran would continue to advance its nuclear program and would receive assistance from other nations to do so.RUSSIAN LEADER CLAIMS MULTIPLE COUNTRIES PREPPED TO PROVIDE IRAN NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOLLOWING US STRIKES"The enrichment of nuclear material and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons will continue," Medvedev said in a Sunday X post."A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads," Medvedev said.He did not specify which countries could be involved in providing Iran with nuclear capabilities, but Russia historically has supported Iran's nuclear program. Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin also offered to broker peace talks between Iran and Israel.Likewise, Moscow has also offered to intervene and help negotiate a nuclear deal between the U.S. and Iran.ISRAEL-IRAN CONFLICT: LIVE UPDATESMoscow was involved in the 2015 Iran deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The agreement lifted sanctions on Iran in exchange for limits on Irans nuclear program, but Trump withdrew from the deal in 2018.On Saturday, the U.S. launched strikes late Saturday targeting key Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. The mission involved more than 125 U.S. aircraft, including B-2 stealth bombers, according to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine.TRUMP ATTACKS IRAN NUCLEAR SITES: ARE OUR TROOPS IN DANGER FROM RETALIATORY STRIKES?Trump also touted the success of a guided-missile nuclear submarine involved in the strikes, which launched more than two dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles at key Iranian targets."By the way, if anyone thinks our hardware was great over the weekend, far and away the strongest and best equipment we have, 20 years advanced over the pack, is our Nuclear Submarines," Trump said Monday in the Truth Social post. "They are the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built, and just launched the 30 Tomahawks All 30 hit their mark perfectly. So, in addition to our Great Fighter Pilots, thank you to the Captain and Crew!"

    Democrats need their own Trump, podcaster urges in NY Times
    A recent opinion piece in The New York Times said that the key to the Democratic Party succeeding again is having their own version of PresidentDonald Trump."If the next Democratic nominee wants to build a majority coalition one that doesnt rely on Republicans running poor-quality candidates to eke out presidential wins and that doesnt write off the Senate as a lost cause the candidate should attack the Democratic Party itself and offer positions that outflank it from both the right and the left," Galen Druke, host of the "GD Politics" podcast, wrote in a Mondayguest essay in The New York Times."It may seem like an audacious gambit, but a successful candidate has provided them a blueprint: Donald Trump," Druke added.DEMOCRATIC PARTY SCRAMBLES TO FIX IMAGE AS MEMBERS ACKNOWLEDGE PARTY 'LOST CREDIBILITY'Druke noted that theDemocratic Party is"historically unpopular," citing a 2025 Pew Research Center's American Trends Panel and saying that "The Democratic Partys favorability rating is 22 percentage points underwater 60 percent of respondents view it unfavorably, 38 favorably."He cautioned that Democrats should not look for their own Trump figure who would "violate democratic norms and destabilize American institutions, but rather the one for resetting how Americans view a party and its leaders."Secrets behind Trumps success,Druke said, included the president bucking his own partys stances from both sides of the spectrum.Druke also hinted at the trust Democrats need to rebuild within their base after they "stood by a deeply unpopular president despite clear signs that Democratic voters did not think he was suited to another term."DEMOCRATS' MAJOR MESSAGING CRISIS: THE PARTY OF OPPOSITION WITHOUT SOLUTIONSDruke mentioned arecent CNN pollthat showed theDemocratic Partysfavorability rating at a record low among Americans, with 52% to 48% of Democratic-learning voters saying the party is going in the wrong direction.The poll also showed the favorability rating for the Democratic Party at 29%, calling it a "record low" that goes back to 1992, and saying that it was a 20-point drop from January 2021.Druke also said that Democrats should take a page from former President Bill Clintons playbook and be liberal in terms of healthcare policy, where he says the candidate should push for universal healthcare "far more progressive than the Affordable Care Act," but have more right-leaning policies when it comes to issues like government spending and crime.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREDemocrats should treat social issues similarly,Druke said, adding that the party should "assert that the goal is for all people to be treated with dignity and that Democrats got carried away with ideas that ultimately didnt further that goal.""To be truly successful, the next Democratic nominee will transform how Americans view the Democratic Party as a whole, leading the way to winning voters not currently viewed as gettable in states that have been written off,"Druke wrote.

    Ex-ICE chief warns Biden's border crisis likely fueled Iranian sleeper threat in US
    The impact of the border crisis under the Biden administration likely added fuel to the fire of an Iranian sleeper cell threat domestically, according to a former top Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official who briefly led Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).Following the strike on Iranian nuclear sites by the U.S. on Saturday, DHS issued a National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin warning about the risk of domestic terrorism from Iranian-backed or inspired perpetrators."Definitely," former acting ICE director and Fox News contributor Jonathan Fahey said when asked if the Biden border crisis likely made matters worse domestically.AMERICANS VULNERABLE TO CYBERATTACKS, LONE WOLF THREATS IN WAKE OF IRANIAN AIRSTRIKES: FORMER FBI AGENT"I think one thing that's really concerning about that: One, they weren't doing any really meaningful vetting in the last administration. The second part of it is, you know, we have probably 2 million known gotaways come through the last administration, and the people that went through the non-ports of entry, we knew they went through but nobody caught them, so we have no idea who went through," he added.Fahey noted that other countries were likely paying close attention to the heavy flow of people crossing into the country illegally. He briefly led ICE toward the end of Trumps first term and was the former deputy assistant secretary at the DHS."But the thing that's concerning is all of our adversaries knew at the time that we basically, in all intents and purposes, had an open border. So, to the extent they wanted to send people in to spy, to collect intelligence, to do us harm, to plan to do us harm in the future, they had carte blanche to get anyone in that they wanted to with really little or no resistance," Fahey said.OVER 700 IRANIAN NATIONALS RELEASED INTO US DURING BIDEN ADMINISTRATION DESPITE TERRORISM CONCERNS"Thats what makes what Biden, the Biden-Mayorkas open border just so unconscionable," he said.Fox News reported that roughly half of the 1,500 Iranian nationals who came through illegally during the Biden administration were let go into the U.S.CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGE"The likelihood of violent extremists in the Homeland independently mobilizing to violence in response to the conflict would likely increase if Iranian leadership issued a religious ruling calling for retaliatory violence against targets in the Homeland," the DHS bulletin stated."Multiple recent Homeland terrorist attacks have been motivated by anti-Semitic or anti-Israel sentiment, and the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict could contribute to US-based individuals plotting additional attacks," it continued.OPEN BORDERS UNDER BIDEN COULD HELP IRAN RETALIATE WITH US TERROR SLEEPER CELLS: FORMER FBI BOSSOther national security experts also doubled down that the releases and gotaways during the Biden administration continued to pose a risk."We don't know where those thousand Iranians are and who knows how many others got across the border. We missed an opportunity when they caught and released those thousand. We missed the opportunity to gather intel by interviewing them and thoroughly vetting them. We just simply let them go, which is gross negligence on the part of the Biden administration," former FBI assistant director Chris Swecker told Fox News Digital.Border czar Tom Homan also sounded the alarm about gotaways on "Sunday Morning Futures" right after the Iran strikes."We don't know who they are, where they came from, because they got away because border patrol is so overwhelmed with the humanitarian crisis that Biden created. Over two million people crossed the border and got away. That is my biggest concern. And that's what created the biggest national security vulnerability this country's ever seen," Homan said.When it comes to known releases, the Trump administration released nobody in May, compared with roughly 62,000 releases under the Biden administration last May, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.
