WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11), Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security's Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence ,led a subcommittee hearing to assess the heightened threat of antisemitic terrorist attacks in the United States.

Witness testimony was provided by Kerry Sleeper, deputy director of intelligence and information sharing for the Secure Community Network (SCN); James Carafano, E.W. Richardson fellow at the Heritage Foundation; Oren Segal, senior vice president of counter-extremism and intelligence for the Anti-Defamation League (ADL); and Julie Fishman Rayman, senior vice president of policy and political affairs for the American Jewish Committee (AJC).

During the hearing, witnesses and members examined how extremist groups and foreign terrorist organizations have fueled antisemitic and anti-Israel violence since the October 7 attacks on Israel. They raised concerns about the threat posed by radicalized foreign nationals on U.S. soil, as well as by individuals and groups that provide material support for terrorist organizations. Additionally, they emphasized the critical role of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) fusion centers in enhancing information sharing across all levels of law enforcement to better protect our communities.

Rep. Pfluger sat down with Virginia Allen from The Daily Signal to preview the hearing, emphasizing that, “When it comes to the antisemitic violence that we have seen, I don’t think the threat level has been this high in decades...I want to stick up for the Jewish community, who right now feel very, very vulnerable because of the attacks.”
