For the first time as director of the FBI, James Comey visited the agency’s field office in South Texas and tried to ease concerns about terrorists using the southern border.
“I do not see any indication of terrorists using the southwest border to cross with the assistance of the cartels or otherwise,” Comey said, KSAT.com wrote.
Comey also said there’s no evidence of terrorist training camps, as reported by some members of the media.
“That’s just false,” Comey said.
Still, Comey emphasized, the bureau and its Mexican counterparts are monitoring the border closely.
