CBS News National Security Contributor Sam Vinograd says “every individual encountered at our borders is vetted,” but she believes the U.S. has “under-resourced” collecting foreign terrorism intelligence in other parts of the world, with gaps particularly in Central Asia. “So today, I am less concerned about an individual on our watch list somehow sneaking through our southern border than I am about a bad actor who is unknown to us.”

“We are facing the most complex threat environment in our nation’s history,” particularly from lone actors who are radicalized online, says former top DHS official and CBS News national security contributor Sam Vinograd. She tells Margaret Brennan law enforcement “need to rethink” what it takes to secure mass gatherings. “It can be true that law enforcement and intelligence professionals prepared exhaustively for last night,” she says. “But it can also be true that in this moment, in this security environment, the paradigms of the past may not be sufficient to meet the moment.”

2026 will see the United States host several mass gatherings, including the World Cup and the nation’s 250th anniversary. CBS News national security contributor Sam Vinograd says, “there are structural issues that I fear make us more vulnerable to a successful attack.” “That includes the fact that the United States, probably for the first time in our history, is no longer viewed globally as the leader and poster child for rules-based international order,” Vinograd said. “Other actors feel like they don't have to follow the rules if we're not going to, that could introduce new threats.”

"I am deeply concerned about the potential for retaliatory attacks here in the homeland by Iran," says CBS News national security contributor Samantha Vinograd. "While Iran has certainly taken a hit to its nuclear program and military installations, it is likely that they will rely on their asymmetric advantage, which is their proxies," Vinograd explains, "to try to send a signal to the United States, and to the rest of the world, that they just aren't going to take this hit without any kind of response"

Any act of violence that harms innocent human life is terrorism and must be condemned without hesitation. Praying for the full recovery of the two National Guard soldiers and strength for their families. I also hope that one foolish man's actions will not result in the punishment or blame of the entire Afghan community. #AfghansAgainstViolence

I love how CBS has very rarely brought up the fact that their "CBS News national security contributor" Samantha Vinograd is both an Obama and Biden official. In other words, a deep-blue partisan. Instead, she's held up as objective, non-partisan security expert to bash anything and everything Donald Trump does.

🇺🇸 🚨 Afghan National Identified in U.S. National Guard Shooting: Raises Questions of Possible TTP–Al-Qaeda Links Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, an Afghan national from Khost, a known stronghold of both TTP and Al-Qaeda, has been identified as the perpetrator of the U.S. National Guard shooting. He entered the United States under a Biden-era immigration policy. The critical question now is: who orchestrated the attack in Washington, Al-Qaeda or the TTP? Khost and several other regions of Afghanistan continue to host joint TTP–Al-Qaeda training facilities, with a significant presence of foreign fighters. Both organisations actively recruit individuals online and maintain transnational networks capable of directing or inspiring attacks far beyond Afghanistan’s borders. Once again, Afghanistan stands exposed as a revitalised hub of global terrorism, enabling extremist groups to project violence internationally.

In an interview with CBS News' Ed O'Keefe, Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker says his administration has not been briefed or contacted by anyone in the Trump administration regarding plans to send National Guard troops to Chicago. Two senior Department of Homeland Security sources tell CBS News federal troops could be deployed as soon as next week to the city. Pritzker said sending troops to Chicago without informing local officials is "disruptive," "dangerous," and "tends to inflame passions on the ground."

Rep. Jim Himes, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, criticized President Trump's decision to tap Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence, telling Margaret Brennan “he doesn't have an iota of national security experience.” “There is no way that the authorities and assets of the intelligence community can be in the hands of an individual who showed that his sole reason for being in Washington is to do the president's political laundry,” Himes (D-CT) says.
