Eight people were killed and 11 more were injured in what law
enforcement officials are now calling New York's deadliest terror
attack since 9/11. The perpetrator of this attack was radicalized domestically by ISIS,
highlighting the grave threat posed by this terrorist propaganda. Mr. Speaker, the terrorist last night was an immigrant from
Uzbekistan, but we know that even within our midst, there are Americans
who sympathize with those who seek to destroy our freedom. As many as 250 American citizens have sought to travel to Syria, and
more than 100 have joined ISIS' ranks. Many of these individuals have
received terrorist training while overseas.
