Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN) has revealed alarming news that 50 illegal immigrants smuggled into the United States by ISIS-affiliated networks are unaccounted for. The announcement comes amid heightened fears following deadly terror attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas.
Banks, speaking during a Sunday interview, noted that the Department of Homeland Security reported 400 ISIS-linked individuals were smuggled across the southern border last year. “We don’t know who they are or where they are,” Banks warned, describing the situation as a significant national security threat.

The warning coincides with investigations into recent attacks. In New Orleans, a truck attack during New Year’s Eve celebrations killed 14 people, while a coordinated assault in Las Vegas left numerous victims in what officials attribute to ISIS-inspired individuals.
Efforts are underway to locate the missing individuals as the nation grapples with the ongoing threat of terrorism.
