The new border czar chosen by Donald Trump made controversial remarks linking the recent attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas to ‘suicide’ missions, placing blame on Joe Biden for the incidents.

During an interview on Fox News, Tom Homan expressed his concerns about the boldness of attackers targeting the United States and shared his insights on what he anticipates to discover about the individuals responsible for the attacks in both cities.

‘I think they’re both on a suicide mission. I think both of these incidents, these men knew they weren’t going home,’ he said.

Authorities have identified the individual who carried out the attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen born in Texas and an Army veteran.

President Biden said that the explosion of the Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas is also being investigated for any connections to the Louisiana attack, but officials have said they have not diffinitively linked the two. 

Homan on Thursday zeroed in on the U.S. border as investigators carry out a multi-state investigation. 

‘This is just another danger this country faces because this country has been lax on national security and groups like this have been emboldened,’ Homan claimed. 

He expects the investigations will reveal both were U.S. citizens with prior military experience.

‘I think you’re going to find they both have recent and foreign travel. They were both inspired by ISIS,’ he said.

Jabbar was killed in a shootout with police after ramming his rented truck into the crowd of people out celebrating the start of the new year. 

After the attack, law enforcement officials said an ISIS flag was found in the trailer of the rented pickup truck. He also had potential improvised explosive devices. 

Law enforcement officials have not yet revealed whether they know if the attacker or driver of the Cybertruck in Las Vegas traveled internationally as they sift through the data.

But Homan on Thursday went off on the Biden administration over the U.S. border and argued the administration unsecured the border ‘on purpose.’ 

He is one of multiple people set to serve in the Trump administration as well as the president-elect who have used the deadly New Year’s Day attack to call for more border security. 

‘It’s open invitation for those around the world that hate this country,’ he said of the current border. 

On Thursday morning, Trump’s incoming national security adviser Mike Waltz called for the U.S. border to be closed in the wake of the attack.  

Police have identified the killer as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, an Army veteran who was born in Texas and was inspired by ISIS to conduct the vehicle attack on people out celebrating New Year’s Eve on New Orleans famed Bourbon Street

President Biden is meeting with his homeland security team on Thursday in the Situation Room of the White House. 

He addressed the attack Wednesday night where he said ‘no one should jump to conclusions.’

On Thursday, the FBI said they now believe that Jabbar is likely to be a lone wolf terrorist who carried out his slaughter of people celebrating in New Orleans without accomplices. 

Law enforcement officials have also identified a suspect in the Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday.

They have not released the name publicly, but according to multiple reports, the suspect is 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger, an active-duty soldier in the U.S. Army. 

The Cybertruck was rented in Colorado Springs where Livelsberger lived. 

Officials are investigating whether the explosion was an act of terrorism. Fuel canisters and large firework mortars were found in the back of the truck after the explosion.

The FBI said on Thursday there is not definitive link between the attack in New Orleans and the one in Las Vegas.
