GOP senators sound alarm on 'adequacy' of US visa screening protocols after Texas hostage-taker entered US
Fox News
A group of Republican senators are sounding the alarm on the “adequacy” of U.S. visa screening protocols after Malik Faisal Akram, the British national who held four Jewish worshippers hostage at a Texas synagogue earlier this month, was admitted into the United States, despite his reported criminal record and past security monitoring by British domestic intelligence.
The senators also wrote a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray asking whether the bureau considers Akram to be an "international terrorist," particularly a "jihadist or fundamental terrorist," and demanded information on the FBI’s "intelligence-sharing relationship" with the United Kingdom.
