    PGA star's dad skipping 'unwatchable' Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black: 'Afraid of what's going to happen'
    The Ryder Cup countdown is on, and this year has the potential to be one for the history books.This year's event will take place at Bethpage Black outside of New York City. It will be the second time a team competition has been in the tri-state area, along with the 2017 Presidents Cup at Liberty National in Jersey City.The United States and Europe have alternated winning the Cup, with the home team winning each event, rather convincingly, each year since 2016.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMXander Schauffele has been a part of Team USA for each Ryder and Presidents Cup since 2019, and he currently has an automatic bid as the second-ranked American in the FedEx Cup standings (the top six players get automatic bids).However, his own dad wants no part of it.Stefan Schauffele told The London Times that he is "not going" to the Ryder Cup in September."Im afraid of whats going to happen in New York. I was there [at Whistling Straits] when they called Shane Lowrys wife a whore in front of him. I couldnt believe my ears," Stefan revealed.KAI TRUMP REVEALS 'SPECIAL BOND' SHARED WITH GRANDFATHER THAT SHAPED HER BUDDING GOLF CAREERStefan also said he was turned off by the tempers flaring between Rory McIlroy and Patrick Cantlay's caddie, Joe LaCava, in Rome two years ago.McIlroy was not happy with LaCava's celebration of a long putt from Cantlay, who opted not to wear a hat in protest of players not being paid to play in the event. This year, U.S. players will receive a $200,000 stipend and another $300,000 to donate to charity."That was utterly disgusting claiming this money bulls---, and Rory behaved disgustingly in my opinion," Schauffele continued. "Its only going to get worse. Its ruined my appetite for the Ryder Cup. It becomes unwatchable."McIlroy then had to be held back from LaCava in the parking lot after the round.The rivalry between the two teams is undoubtedly hotter than ever - but apparently, Mr. Schauffele has no interest.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Republican leading House Budget Committee looks ahead after passing Big Beautiful Bill
    House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, was praised for the role he played in the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill. However, the congressman says this is the beginning, not the end, of spending reforms."We will never be able to get a balanced budget or even put our country on a path to a balanced budget and a sustainable fiscal trajectory in one reconciliation bill," Arrington told Fox News Digital. "We're too far down the broken road of bad and irresponsible fiscal behavior. We're too deep in the debt hole for one bill to do it."Arrington, whom House Speaker Mike Johnson called the "the lead budget hawk in the House," said he is "obsessed" with tackling deficit spending, which he sees as the biggest threat to America's future. He believes that addressing the nations situation in an effective way means creating the "conditions for growing the economy."HOUSE REPUBLICANS SHOWCASE THEY 'TOOK ACTION' WITH PASSAGE OF TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL'"So, the pro-growth policies, the tax cuts, the work incentives, opening up our energy assets and deregulating the energy economy, all of those pro- growth policies will reignite economic growth. And that is the foundation for our country's fiscal health and just about everything else: our military prowess, our global leadership, our way of life," Arrington said.The Big Beautiful Bills journey to President Donald Trumps desk was not pretty, as the legislation received criticism from both sides of the aisle and caused tension among Republicans.WHAT'S ACTUALLY IN TRUMP'S BIG BEAUTIFUL BILLElon Musk, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and others argued that it did not take adequate measures to cut government spending. Arrington said he respects Massie and Musk as well as other critics but believes that the risk of losing the "good things" in the bill was too high. In the end, the Texas lawmaker sees the tradeoff as "permanent pro-growth tax policy" in exchange for the extra spending in the legislation."I think there's a big gap in information and accurate information. Part of it is you've got the Congressional Budget Office putting out these big numbers two and a half or three trillion dollars in additional deficit that would be added to the national debt over the 10-year budget window as a result of this bill. That is just patently false. It's completely inaccurate," Arrington said, adding that they fail to "consider economic growth and the revenue that will flow back into the treasury when you have pro-growth policies."SCOTT BESSENT: PRESIDENT TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' WILL UNLEASH PARALLEL PROSPERITYTrump signed the bill on his self-imposed July 4 deadline, just one day after the House passed the final version of the $3.3 trillion legislation.Before signing the bill, the president said it would "fuel massive economic growth" and "lift up the hard-working citizens who make this country run."So, whats next on the budget chairmans agenda? Just one thing or three, as he said to Fox News Digital, "spending cuts, spending cuts and spending cuts.""We didn't get into this mess overnight, we won't get out of it overnight, but we'll never get out if we don't start exercising the political will to do what we all say in our campaigns," Arrington told Fox News Digital. "I think we established a great model for restoring fiscal health, and we just have to continue to repeat it and do it in even more dramatic fashion in the future."

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts 'excited' about Atlanta All-Star Game after previously considering 2021 boycott
    The MLB All-Star Game was relocated from Atlanta to Denver in 2021 in response to voting laws in the state of Georgia that then-President Joe Biden described as "Jim Crow on steroids."At the time, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who was honored with managing the National League team due to his team playing in the previous year's World Series, said he would have had to consider declining to manage the game if the Midsummer Classic had not been moved.MLB made the change, saying that "the best way to demonstrate" the league's values of "[supporting] voting rights for all Americans and [opposing] restrictions to the ballot box" was to move the game. So, Roberts was in the dugout that summer, but the game was brought back to Atlanta this year, even though the laws remain in place.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMDuring a news conference, a reporter asked Roberts about his previous comments made in 2021 about being "relentless with our voices" and why the game is in Atlanta "when this is on the books.""I think it's just being relentless with our voices," the Dodgers' manager said at the time. "This is not just something that's an isolated moment in time that we're talking about. It's something that needs to be talked about [on an] ongoing [basis], and be relentless with it."Pat McAfee emceed the news conference and said he did not feel that anyone on the stage (Roberts, Paul Skenes, Aaron Boone and Tarik Skubal) "should be giving answers on that.""I would assume that there was a reason or some conversation that was had by the MLB and the state that all parties thought that this would be a wonderful host city for the All-Star Game. I think everybody is all very excited to be back in the beautiful city of Atlanta, I think. I dont want to speak out of pocket for anybody, but I do believe," McAfee continued.2025 MLB ALL-STAR GAME TO TAKE PLACE AT BRAVES' HOME PARK AFTER IT WAS TAKEN AWAY OVER VOTING LAW CONTROVERSY"I think Pat answered it perfect and honestly," Roberts chimed in. "I appreciate the question. I appreciate your thoughts. I do feel that Im excited to be here. I think that its a great city. I think baseball fans are excited to be here and celebrate these great athletes."Im not a politician. I do feel that everyone has their right to voice thoughts, but right now I really choose to just focus on the players in the game and be excited to be here. For me, to be able to manage these guys and to manage against these guys, Im honored."The Election Integrity Act of 2021 placed new restrictions on voting by mail, added voter ID requirements and limited ballot drop boxes. Biden criticized the law as "Jim Crow on steroids."On Monday, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp praised MLB for returning the game to Atlanta and creating economic opportunities for businesses in the city."We're excited about the game finally being here. It should have been here several years ago. They never should have pulled it to start with, but thankfully the game's coming back," Kemp said in an appearance on "Fox & Friends.""It's good for the Braves organization. It's good for all the vendors and small business people in and around the ballpark and in the city of Atlanta up in Cobb County and really for our whole state."Fox News' Ryan Gaydos contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Controversial Automated Ball-Strike system is a 'good addition,' but needs development, MLB All-Star says
    Minor league baseball players have had the opportunity to get familiar with the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) system. Major league players were introduced to it in spring training, but once the regular season began, home plate ruled on whether a pitch fell within the strike zone.The challenge system, which has sparked some controversy in the baseball world, will make its primetime debut at Tuesday's MLB All-Star Game.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe reaction in the days since the MLB confirmed the system would be utilized has been mixed. Those who hold baseball's traditions dear have expressed frustration or even outrage.Cleveland Guardians left fielder Steven Kwan, however, took a more measured approach.CAL RALEIGH VICTORIOUS IN 2025 HOME RUN DERBY, BECOMES 1ST CATCHER EVER TO WIN IN THRILLING FASHION"I think it's a cool addition," Kwan told Fox News Digital on Monday in Atlanta, the host city for this year's Midsummer Classic. "I think (we) need some more experience with it. We only got to do it in spring training. It's definitely some spring training when you're in the (batters) box with it, but I think overall it's a good addition."During the All-Star game, the National League team and the American League club will each be allowed two challenges. If a challenge is used and upheld, the team will be able to retain it. A batter, pitcher or catcher can challenge a ball-strikes call.However, if a player does want to issue a challenge, time is of the essence. Any challenge has to be presented immediately after a strike or a ball is called.Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes was among the high-profile players who chimed in on the ABS system."Pitchers think everything is a strike," the Pirates ace told reporters in Atlanta on Monday. "Then you go back and look at it, and it's two, three balls off. So we should not be the ones that are challenging it. I really do like the human element of the game. I think this is one of those things that you kind of think umpires are great until they're not."Skenes appeared to take a nonchalant position on the matter, saying he "could kind of care less, either way, to be honest."The ABS system is not expected to be involved in regular season games once the All-Star break ends. The MLB has not revealed any potential timetable for using the system in regular or postseason games, but testing it in the All-Star game appears to be a step toward it eventually becoming a part of the game.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Republican lawmaker challenges Democrats' characterization of 'Alligator Alcatraz' after touring facility
    Florida Rep. Maria Salazar said the Sunshine State's new "Alligator Alcatraz" detention center meets the "highest of standards" while working to debunk Democrats' claims that its conditions are "cruel."The Republican lawmaker, who represents Florida's 27th congressional district, toured the facility with other legislators over the weekend where she got a firsthand look at the conditions."I thought that it was a mistake from the authorities not allowing us to talk them," she told "Fox & Friends" co-host Lawrence Jones on Tuesday.FLORIDA OFFICIALS REVEAL CRIMINAL BACKGROUNDS OF MIGRANTS HELD AT 'ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ'"I was able to shout in Spanish. There were around 40 of them in shackles, and I tried to talk with them and ask them 'How are they treating you?' One of them said, Pretty good. Another one said, Not so bad, but I really wanted to engage. They did not let me."Salazar was able to go inside one of the cages and sit on one of the beds provided for inmates.Though she acknowledged that "no one likes to be inside" cages, she described the ones available as "clean" and the beds as "soft."DEM LAWMAKERS TO INSPECT 'ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ' DETENTION CENTER, CITING SAFETY CONCERNS"They had three metal toilets with a little wall to cover people when they're doing their business. They had two telephones where they can call their attorneys or loved ones," she recalled."Then they took us to another recreational area, also caged in with some grass where they could run or do some exercise. It meets the highest standards for any federal facility that we've done," she added.Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz slammed the detention center as an "internment camp" after visiting on Saturday, saying the conditions witnessed inside the building were "appalling."Rep. Darren Soto, D-Fla., called the center a "cruel political stunt" and a "spectacle of political theater."

    Senate GOP braces for test vote on Trump's $9.4B clawback package
    Senate Republicans are gearing up to advance a multibillion-dollar clawback package from President Donald Trump, but dissent among the ranks threatens to stymie the process.Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., intends to put Trumps $9.4 billion rescissions package, which would scrape back congressionally approved funding for a variety of so-called "woke" programs that fund foreign aid and public broadcasting.'GUT CHECK TIME': DISSENT AMONG SENATE GOP RANKS THREATENS TO REDUCE TRUMP'S SPENDING CUT DEMANDHowever, a handful of Senate Republicans have raised a fuss over $8.3 billion in cuts from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and over $1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the government-backed funding arm for NPR and PBS.The bill is expected to have its first test vote on Tuesday, but questions remain about whether Thune has the votes.Senate Republicans are set to meet with Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought, who became a near-constant presence on the Hill during the budget reconciliation process, in a bid to shore up support among concerned lawmakers.'BAIT AND SWITCH': SCHUMER WARNS OF BITTER FUNDING FIGHT OVER GOP CUTS PLANPublicly, Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Mike Rounds, R-S.D., have all expressed reservations about the package, particularly over proposed cuts to the Bush-era Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the public broadcasting fund.Thune can only afford to lose three votes and will receive no help from Senate Democrats in another hyper-partisan process.TRUMP'S PLAN TO SLASH 'WOKE' FOREIGN AID, NPR FUNDS CLEARS HOUSE AS SENATE BATTLE LOOMSAn amendment process coming in the form of another vote-a-rama is expected, but changing the bill could have consequences in the House, where Republicans are warning their colleagues in the upper chamber to stomach the clawbacks as proposed by the White House.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThune said he and his leadership team have been discussing issues with the package and trying to make possible changes to the legislation before it hits the floor."I'm fine with it as is, but I think we have colleagues who would like to see some perhaps modest changes made, so we're trying to find out if there's a path forward that gets us 51 and stays consistent," he told reporters.

    New weekly injection for Parkinson's could replace daily pill for millions, study suggests
    A new weekly injectable drug could transform the lives of more than eight million people living with Parkinsons disease, potentially replacing the need for daily pills.Scientists from the University of South Australia (UniSA) developed a long-acting injectable formulation that provides two key Parkinsons medications for an entire week.There is currently no cure for Parkinsons, which is the second-most common neurological disorder, affecting more than one million Americans, according to the Parkinson's Foundation.STANFORD SCIENTISTS 'TOTALLY SURPRISED' BY POTENTIAL PARKINSON'S TREATMENT DISCOVERYTo manage symptoms like tremors, rigidity and slow movement, patients typically take daily oral medications, such as levodopa and carbidopa, according to the university's press release.This method can be especially difficult for individuals who have trouble swallowing or are otherwise unable to take the pills consistently, leading to irregular medication levels, increased side effects and reduced effectiveness.Levodopa is the "gold-standard therapy for Parkinsons," according to lead researcher Professor Sanjay Garg at UniSA, but its short lifespan means it must be taken several times a day.The researchers tested an injectable gel implant that combines an FDA-approved biodegradable substance with a pH-sensitive substance to achieve a controlled and sustained drug release.PARKINSON'S PATIENTS WHO TAKE 'MAGIC MUSHROOMS' SEE KEY BENEFITS, STUDY FINDSThe gel is injected through a single shot under the skin or into the muscle tissue, which means theres no need for a surgical implant and discomfort is minimal, they noted.The team found that the gel gradually released the key Parkinson's medications (90% of the levodopa drug and 81% of the carbidopa) over the course of one week.The findings were published in the journal Drug Delivery and Translational Research."Reducing the frequency of dosing from multiple times a day to a weekly injection is a major step forward in Parkinsons therapy," Garg said in the release. "Were not just improving how the drug is delivered; were improving patients lives."Extensive lab tests confirmed the systems effectiveness and safety.The implant degraded by over 80% within a week and showed no significant toxicity in cell viability tests."The implications of this research are profound," Garg added.Deepa Nakmode, a PhD student at the University of South Australia, noted that this method is designed to release both levodopa and carbidopa steadily over one week, maintaining consistent plasma levels and reducing the risks associated with fluctuating drug concentrations."After years of focused research, its incredibly rewarding to see our innovation in long-acting injectables for Parkinsons disease reach this stage," he said in the release.The team's invention has now been filed for an Australian patent, Nakmode added.The technology could also be adapted for other chronic conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, chronic pain and infections that require long-term drug delivery, according to Garg.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERThe system can be tuned to release drugs over a period ranging from a few days to several weeks, depending on therapeutic needs.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthScientists hope to start clinical trials in the near future and are exploring opportunities to make the gel commercially available.

    Anthony Bernal: Who is Jill Biden's top aide ordered to testify about alleged cover-up?
    House Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., subpoenaed Anthony Bernal, who served as chief of staff for first lady Jill Biden and as an assistant to President Joe Biden, to testify at a deposition Wednesday.Bernal refused to appear for a transcribed interview on June 26 as part of the Oversight Committeesinvestigation into the alleged cover-up of Bidens mental decline and potentially unauthorized use of autopen for pardons and other executive actions.He had previously confirmed he would appear for the interview, but when the White House Counsels Office notified him it was waiving executive privilege, Bernal said he would no longer appear for the interview."It's abundantly clear that Anthony Bernal Jill Bidens so-called work husband never intended to be transparent about Joe Bidens cognitive decline and the ensuing cover-up. With no privilege left to hide behind, Mr. Bernal is now running scared, desperate to bury the truth," Comer said.EX-DNC INSIDER REVEALS 'PUPPET MASTERS' WHO RAN THE BIDEN WHITE HOUSETwo recent books about the Biden administration have painted an unflattering picture of Bernal's political rise.FORMER BIDEN AIDE ANTHONY BERNAL SUBPOENAED BY HOUSE COMMITTEE AFTER REFUSING TO APPEAR FOR DEPOSITIONBy proxy, the first lady's top aide became one of the most influential people in the White House, according to "Original Sin," a book by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios political correspondent Alex Thompson."He would not be welcome at my funeral," a longtime Biden aide told the authors.Operating in a White House anchored in loyalty, Bernal wielded loyalty as a weapon to weed out the defectors, Tapper and Thompson said.And Bernal earned a reputation for trash-talking fellow aides, as "some even described him as the worst person they had ever met," Tapper and Thompson said.Jill Biden and Bernal worked in tandem, keeping score of "who was with them and against them," according to Tapper and Thompson.A former White House staffer fired back against Tapper and Thompson's allegations about Bernal in a statement to Fox News Digital."A lot of vignettes in this book are either false, exaggerated, or purposefully omit viewpoints that dont fit the narrative they want to push. Anthony was a strong leader with high standards and a mentor to many. Hes the type of person you want on a team - hes incredibly strategic, effective, and cares deeply about the people he manages," the former White House staffer said in May."2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America," released last week by Josh Dawsey of The Wall Street Journal, Tyler Pager of The New York Times and Isaac Arnsdor of The Washington Post, outlines how Bernal's political influence grew alongside Jill Biden.WHO IS ANTHONY BERNAL?: THE 'INDISPENSABLE' BIDEN AIDE DITCHING HOUSE OVERSIGHT PROBE ON HIS MENTAL DECLINE"He quickly bonded with Jill Biden and never left her side, becoming unflinchingly loyal to her and using his proximity to her to exert power wherever he decided. It was often unclear if the opinion he was expressing was his own or the first ladys. Sometimes, when donors or voters asked her questions, Bernal would jump in to answer," the authors said.Lindy Li, a former DNC fundraiser and Democratic insider who had a front-row seat to Biden's presidency, told Fox News Digital, "People like Anthony Bernal. I saw him running the White House like he was in charge, like he was a king. It's just so amazing now to see him dodge a subpoena and completely dodge accountability. He can run, but he can't hide. His name is going to go down in infamy forever."Li said Bernal "followed Jill around like a dog." However, Li clarified that he ran the East Wing more than the West Wing. She said Bernal was among those running the White House during Biden's presidency.Democratic strategist Michael LaRosa, who served as press secretary to Jill Biden, told Fox News Digital that, "No one spent more time, whether it was in the motorcade, on the plane, in the private residence at the White House, Camp David, and at both houses in Delaware, nobody spent more personal time around them and their family and the Biden family than Anthony."Bernal and a Biden spokesperson did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment on this article.Fox News Digital's Andrew Mark Miller contributed to this report.

    MLBPA chief says foreign players told to carry documentation to 'keep their job'
    Major League Baseball Players Association Executive Director Tony Clark told members of the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) on Tuesday ahead of the All-Star Game that he and his office are keeping immigration top of mind with the league's large foreign presence.Roughly 28.6% of MLB players on Opening Day rosters (over 220 of the 265 foreign-born players) were of Latino descent.Amid Donald Trump's presidency, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have cracked down on illegal immigration. Because of this, Clark said his office has told players to "carry their documentation wherever they go to ensure guys are in the best possible position to get to the ballpark and keep their job."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"We're trying to put them and equip them in the best position possible to navigate the atmosphere that we're in in regards to immigration," Clark said, according to a video taken by Our Esquina. "We communicate with our players, we told them to carry their documentation wherever they go, we ensure the lines of communications are open, such that if they are having an issue or a family member is having an issue, how best can we help support them?"We've got immigration council and immigration lawyers on staff to provide support in a way that we have in the past, but not to the extent that we do now, in order to assure guys are in the best possible position to get to the ballpark and keep their job.DODGERS MANAGER DAVE ROBERTS 'EXCITED' ABOUT ATLANTA ALL-STAR GAME AFTER PREVIOUSLY CONSIDERING 2021 BOYCOTT"It is complicated, it is challenging on multiple levels, but we continue to communicate with our guys and assure them whether they're at the minor league level or at the major league level, this is how best to protect yourself in the nearest term in carrying the documentation while having an open line of communication is what we've found has worked so far."Law enforcement was spotted outside of Dodger Stadium last month. They were initially believed to be, and claimed by the Dodgers to be, ICE, which prompted protesters at the site. But in a statement of their own after ICE's denial, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said, "CBP vehicles were in the stadium parking lot very briefly," and it "had nothing to do with the Dodgers."The Dodgers said the agents had "requested permission to access the parking lots" and were denied. But an ICE spokesperson said in an email to Fox News Digital, "ICE was never at Dodgers stadium, and thus never tried to gain access."The vehicles on stadium grounds were "unrelated to any operation or enforcement," a CBP spokesperson said in a statement.Days after the incident, the Dodgers pledged $1 million to aid families impacted by the immigration arrests.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Five Iranians nabbed at US northern border as terror fears grip small towns
    A Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesman confirmed Tuesday that five Iranians were arrested while attempting to illegally cross the U.S. northern border with Canada."On July 1, Border Patrol Agents from the Champlain, New York Station, responded to suspicious activity near Mooers Forks, NY," CBP's Swanton Sector said on Facebook. "Agents located a minivan occupied by five citizens of Iran and two citizens of Uzbekistan."The Champlain Station is part of the Swanton Sector. Swanton is a rural town in Vermont near Highway 89 just south of the Canadian Border.MORE IRANIANS WITH CRIMINAL HISTORIES ARRESTED BY ICE IN TRUMP'S SECURITY SWEEP: 'WORST OF THE WORST'CBP said that all seven men had been previously arrested for attempting to cross the border illegally. All seven aliens are detained and awaiting deportation."They are currently detained and pending removal proceedings," CBP said. "Border security is national security and directly correlates to public safety, Swanton Sector Agents remain vigilant and committed to protecting our borders and enforcing immigration laws."Earlier this month, a counterterrorism expert told Fox News Digital that Iranian terrorist sleeper cells could be hiding in plain sight. The U.S. military crippled several Iranian nuclear sites after targeted airstrikes on June 22."Where these sleeper cells may be is in plain sight," former FBI special agent and terrorism task force member Jonathan Gilliam said. "And that's the real terrifying part of this is that putting people in place, as we've seen over the past four years, everyone's scrambling because certain amounts of people could come in here and get in here."TOM HOMAN WARNS IRANIAN 'SLEEPER CELLS' COULD BE HIDING IN US AS RESULT OF BIDEN'S BORDER CRISISGilliam pointed to the Biden administration's border policies as a reason for concern."They could even go to the border and say they [want to] seek asylum, and the Biden administration, instead of putting them into DHS housing or ICE housing and holding them there so they could have their first appearance. To be vetted and whether or not they get asylum," he said.In a 2023 terrorism report released by the State Department in December of last year, the federal government outlined numerous instances of worrying behavior by Iranian nationals in western countries."In 2023 the U.S. Department of Justice unsealed an indictment charging three individuals connected with Iran in a plot to assassinate an Iranian dissident in New York City," that report said. "Also in 2023, a United Kingdom court found a man guilty of attempting to collect information for terrorist purposes on the London-based Iran International, a media company that is critical of the Iranian regime.""In recent years, Albania, Belgium, and the Netherlandshave all either arrested, convicted, or expelled Iranian government officials implicated in various terrorist plots in their respective territories.Denmark similarly recalled its ambassador from Tehran after learning of an Iran-backed plot to kill an Iranian dissident in that country."Fox News' Adam Sabes contributed to this report.
