The threat to the United States has shifted in the 20 years since the 9/11 attacks to come from domestic, homegrown terrorists rather than from the Middle East, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas insisted Friday morning, on the eve of the anniversary of the deadly, history-changing attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
"The threat over the last 20 years has evolved," Mayorkas said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "We were, of course, in the aftermath of 9/11 focused on the foreign terrorist, the individual who sought to penetrate our defenses, enter the United States, and do us harm."
But that threat changed, and now the most prominent threat is that of the "homegrown violent extremist, the individual who was already here on American soil," said the secretary.
