isis and number two, prioritizing, reducing the isis fighting population and displacing displacement of what party meant by the sdf across syria. this includes 10,000 isis fighters and approximately 60,000 displaced persons. the department is focused on supporting the sdf to provide for the human and security detention of these populations and working with the sdf to grow and professionalize the guard force responsible for securing these facilities. the january 2022 at isis attack in hasak it's a reminder that isis is still a serious threat and see these detention facilities as a place to reconstitute their forces. countries of origin must repatriate, rehabilitate, reintegrate, and where appropriate, prosecute their nationals residing in northeast syria. d.o.d. supports state department efforts by providing support to countries willing to bring their nationals home and for the more we support efforts to work with the government of iraq to accelerate the pace of its repatriation efforts. beyond deities focus on the de-isis mission, i do want to touch briefly on the threats that pose a

work against isis in syria. there is no indication that they are taking meaningful action against that mission for us. >> this has been alluded to but the january prison break in northeastern syria and other complex attacks and open extortion of civilians in syria is a reminder that isis remains a threat in both countries even after the end of the physical caliphate. what gaps of these recent attacks exposed in the sds capacity to secure prisons that continue the hunt for isis sells and what is the administration doing to address these gaps and to boost sdf capacity? >> thank you for that question. the sdss are under tremendous pressure, both because they are operating in an area that is not stabilized or recovered since the depravities of isis holding territory, there are food insecurity, food security challenges in northeast syria that are particularly acute placing stress on sds, the sdf family members and their communities and having access to medicine, supplies, et cetera, are very complicated in this part

compared to isis less targeted vote in the past. in late september, the secretary updated the guidance to focus isis resources on the apprehension and removal of non citizens who are threats to our national security and public safety. -- i was also heartened -- directing its attorney -- to exercise discretion in accordance with these priority. but more remains to be done. i continue to be concerned about the state of isis attention, detention facilities, and how individuals are treated while in i.c.e. custody. one issue i'm alarmed by as those in i.c.e. custody continue to have difficulty in obtaining access to legal counsel and communicating with their counsel when they do have. them for example, a ten or 15 minute monitored phone call is not nearly sufficient given the sunset sensitivity and complexity of the legal issues and necessary -- when it needs to present their case. i look forward to discussing these continuing issues. lastly, i would like to recognize the important work and accomplishments of the homeland security invest

i think it is a good thing that we help fight against isis. i have traveled through some of the regions that were devastated by them in iraq. i have spoken with people who survived the genocide and topped with women who were held as slaves by isis. i am glad we helped in that fight. but i think we need democratic accountability for making war and we are in a dangerous drift. i find it troubling to have a situation when biden announced we were pulling troops out of afghanistan, he announced the war was over but then said we will continue to fight terrorists using over the horizon strikes. so the war is over but the killing continues. and i think that if we are going to be killing people, we should not be telling ourselves we are not at war and it should be something we are engaged in politically. is using our military to kill people the most moral thing we can do as a country? i think we should all debate it. if we are going to have troops do this overseas, the president needs to regularly come before congress and explain why we are doing it, w

hansen is a longtime friend of isi. he was a faculty associate going all the way back to the 90s as i mentioned earlier. he actually wrote an isi book in 2002 called bonfire of the humanities rescuing the classics in an impoverished age. he also has lectured to isi students on topics such as who killed homer the origins of the west and what happened to history. he is the martin and ellie anderson senior fellow at the hoover institution focusing on classics and military history. he is also the wayne and marcia buskey distinguished visiting fellow in history at hillsdale college and he combines the very rare ability to be one of the foremost scholars in his field of classics, but also to be a popular pundant who regularly appears on fox news and rights of weekly column with national review as well as american greatness. he has received a ba in classics from university of california santa cruz. he was a fellow at the american school of classical studies in athens and received his phd from the university of stanford and his

this is part of the effort to continue to go after isis operatives in syria, the remnants of isis the u.s. says when and where they find them. but some of these operations have been very controversial because they have happened in areas where civilians are living. in this case the u.s. and coalition says that they planned the operation meticulously and they have no reports of any civilians killed or injured. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. >>> authorities in israel say that they have concluded that their investigation to police actions during the funeral procession of lane slain journalist. police had widespread criticism following the procession after the television showed officers striking mourners with batons nearly causing the ballpallbear to drop the coffin. what was the conclusion of the investigation? >> yeah, those chaotic scenes were broadcast around the world drawing in so much of that criticism of the police conduct because it is just so hard to watch those images when thousands of people had flooded into the streets of jerusalem to honor the journalist killed while cover

as you just said one of the top isis leaders in syria. solemn tell you what we know as this information is coming in. his name is hani ahmed al kurdi. officials say he was an facilitator actively planning isis operations. u.s.-led coalition forces captured him during this rare military operation in northwestern syria yesterday. they say no civilians were harmed or damage sustained to any u.s. resources during the raid. now, international observers on the ground say two helicopters landed in a village about two miles from the turkish border with coalition forces chasing down gunmen. this is the second major raid against isis under president biden. u.s. special forces attempted to kill or capture the group's leader back in february. you'll remember, he detonated a suicide vest killing himself and several other family members as well. in this case now al kurdi was captured alive making him an important asset and a potential information source to isis and the terrorist operations in that region. >> isis has not been in the news lately but rem

with the recent into announcement of title 42 decision can you tell me how this is going to affect isis in ability to remove individuals and you believe the number of deportations will decrease once this goes into effect? >> so really good questions. i do think that the number of ice deportations will increase once title 42 goes away, because we are expending a good number of ice resources currently on the expulsion of individuals via this title 42 authority. since title 42 has been in effect, we have removed over 80, about 85,000 individuals with ice air resources to countries under the tee 42 authority. so if and when to 42 goes away that will free up some of those air freights and resources for us to increase our typical standard title removal such deportations. >> several weeks ago, secretary -- sat in front of this committee and explain that he asked report the agencies responsible for to be ready for this massive influx of immigrants. hope is not a strategy. and i believe we need to have a clear plan in place to deal with the influx to come. could you please explain to me and this

for the past fears this administration's budget request has decreased isis budget for enforcement and removal operations for what we refer to as ero. this year's request decreases it by almost 9% by reducing funding for the detention centers for adults and families. they understand that the enforcement of immigration laws is not an optional exercise. criminals are public safety threats and some on the watchlist or removed by ice every year. it is your responsibility to advocate for funding that protect our community and our nation. we need a strong effective transparent and accountable ice and we need to provide the tools for agents to do their jobs. unfortunately, these leaders have decided to release discretion memos and limit removals to our narrow and arbitrary set of individuals eligible for deportation. on one hand, the ministration tells us with a straight face that they need to exercise prosecutorial discretion because they have limited resources -- you cannot have it both ways. those actions are contradictory. purposely reducing the end -- the laws. i advocate -- including fu

led all female isis battalion in syria. she got isis leader al-baghdadi to approve her plot to break into the u.s. via the southern border to bomb unnamed college campus with backpacks filled with explosives. your reaction to this story? >> it is outrageous that the president is not enforcing immigration laws at the border. it is outrageous, heard figure of at least 42 people on the terrorist watch list that have already been arrested. who knows how many have come into the country that never got arrested. and so enforcement of the border would stop all of this. and, and, it just shows you to what extent the people are still willing to carry on a, a war from that part of the world into the united states and the interior of the united states. and bombing a college or like, there is another case of wanting to kill george w. bush et cetera, et cetera. if the laws were out enforced we wouldn't have this problem. elizabeth: senator, we've seen guests on msnbc and cnn dismiss that as overreaction, tinfoil conspiracy stuff. authori

you know, it's like, be afraid of china, be afraid of russia, be afraid of isis. and well, look, the solutions always weapons for everyone, weapons for ukraine weapons, for us more troops in europe with weapons. it just never seems to end. so despite all that, this is what stolen bird had to say for himself. if this becomes a full scale war between russia and natal, then we'll see suffering, damage, death, destruction of this scale, which is much, much worse than what you see in your crane today. jewels over the core responsibility of course, to prevent escalation beyond ukrainian. and that's the reason why a night was not a part older conflict on the ground. so preventing escalation means dealing weapons to every one. all right, well, sultan berg also said that deepening relations with the end of pacific is important . of course. why? well, it seems to be that they want to start saber rattling on 2 fronts, china and russia containment. he also said that the final session focused on threats and challenges from the middle east, north africa. and so, hell interestin

-- dodge isis, with syria, we would not to see -- want to see anything to jeopardize it. i want to say one thing about the question you addressed to the secretary-general. at every stage of this russian aggression, before the aggression, one it started and in the months in, virtually every stage of her doubts expressed about what the alliance would do, what countries would do in terms of support for ukraine and whether that was actually going to happen. we have demonstrated that it would and that it has. concerns and doubts about whether we can really deliver, what we said we would do. consequences for russia's aggression with unprecedented sanctions, well we have delivered on that. i would suggest that there will always be stories about -- there's always going to be stories about differences and any moment, but when it comes to the strategic direction that we have taken together, as allies, partners, both within europe and beyond, this, at least in my experience has been unprecedented in solidarity, and the, determination both to support ukraine, with security assistance

is it fair to say that al qaeda and isis still exist? mr. wray: absolutely. >> are there people thinking every day about how to get into america to kill a bunch of us from this organization? mr. wray: yes. >> and the fbi is integral in stopping those plots before they start? mr. wray: yes. >> would you say after afghanistan the threats to our home and has gone up or down? mr. wray: let me say this about the threat. we are concerned, very concerned, about what the threat landscape looks like in the wake of the withdrawal from afghanistan for a number of reasons. one, we're concerned about the loss of sources over there. mr. wray: there are no fbi agent in afghanistan? mr. wray: not anymore. or at least, i hope not. so, we are concerned about lesson source coverage over time, and i think director burns has testified just as a matter of fact, that we will lose -- >> our withdrawal has made us a lot less aware of the threat coming from afghanistan than before we withdrew? mr. wray: yes. >> and maybe the influence of isis in afghanistan is growin

this is the hallmarks of what we have seen the isis | of what we have seen the isis province carry out in recent years. again, targeting religious minorities and in this case, it was a sikh, and we've seen this at shrines and mosques throughout afghanistan and what they're doing is both targeting the types of minorities that they have traditionally targeted as fundamentalists groups, there also putting the taliban regime in a very precarious political position and they have to now try to establish themselves as the dominant player in afghanistan.— the dominant player in afghanistan. the dominant player in afuhanistan. �* ., , ., afghanistan. and how is that workinu afghanistan. and how is that working out _ afghanistan. and how is that working out for _ afghanistan. and how is that working out for the - afghanistan. and how is that working out for the taliban. l afghanistan. and how is that i working out for the taliban. i think you have to look out for these minority groups and yet, their influence, their control is being undermined by this. that is precisely the case and what mak

since 2017, isis mozambique has inflicted violence on communities in northern mozambique. these insurgents have brutalized people and targeted siffians through -- civilians through mass beheadings of men and boys, and attacks against key civilian infrastructure. this violence, combined with the government response to it, has killed over 1,700 civilians in cabo delgado province alone. the international community, particularly the south african development community, forces and rwanda's forces, have responded with troop deployments to secure areas and shield civilians from continued violence. but let's be clear. we know that a military-led response will not be enough. that's why i was so supportive of the biden administration's recent designation of mozambique as a priority country under the global fragility act. so that we can better align resources among the interagency and work to address the key drivers of this violence and other forms of instability in the country. and as we craft our strategy for mozambique, we must be clear-eyed about the underlying grievance and what

and our fightht against isis. of course of a great work togethere i don't know what turkey is trying toto extract from them but at the end of the day as this is about and maybe if wei get in the game we don't need any extraction to take place to have two great democracies join nato. having said that for the record it's one of the things after 30 years of doing foreign-policy herbs me about the state department that we call upon all parties to do something when not all parties are responsible of the end of the day for the conflict that we have foror the issue that we have with a problem that we have. i extended the time period there are some members that have an interest that there is no member presently be for me virtually or in the committee so with the thanks to the committee for your participation and for your insight this record will remain open through the close of business tomorrow and we are adjourned.

and you know, and our fight against isis. it is a little disingenuous to suggest we urge all parties for together, of course would be great for the multi together and come to a conclusion. i don't know what turkey is trying to extract from them. but at the end of the day, that's what this is about. and maybe if we get in the game, the want to extract from us to which i will be vehemently opposed to we. don't need for any extraction to take place or any concessions to take place to have two great democracies join nato. but having said that, i just think for the record it's one of the things that for 30 years, doing foreign policy, irks me about the state department. regardless of which administration is in. that we call upon all parties to do something when not all parties are responsible at the end of the day for the conflict that we have with the issue that we have where the problem that we have. i've extended time here to i know there are some members who had an interest. there is no member presently before me either in on
