HERE THEY COME FOLKS,PREPARE-STAY SAFE & ALERT TX BORDER: Alarms sound over imminent attacks on U.S.Report:Feds, law enforcement scrambling to stop ISIS carnage on border WASHINGTON – The U.S. government is warning that a terrorist attack is imminent on the border between Texas and Mexico, according to the government watchdog group Judicial Watch. The group said sources have told it the Mideast terrorist army ISIS is now operating in the Mexican city of Ciudad Juarez, the narcotics-trafficking center located just across the border from El Paso, Texas, and it is planning to attack the U.S. with car bombs or improvised explosive devices carried by vehicles. Judicial Watch said high-level federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources have confirmed that a warning bulletin for an imminent terrorist attack on the border was issued, and that agents for the Departments of Defense, Justice and Homeland Security have been put on alert and told to aggressively work all sources and potential leads. One source told Judicial Watch intelligence officials “picked up radio talk and chatter” pointing to an attack on the border. The source said both ISIS and al-Qaida were planning plots, and told Judicial Watch an attack “is coming very soon.” Another source told the group the attack is so imminent the commanding general at the U.S. Army’s Ft. Bliss in El Paso is being briefed. Last week, Gov. Rick Perry warned terrorists from the Islamic State could be sneaking into Texas across the Southwest border at any time, due to the Obama administration’s failures in Iraq and in securing the border. Pentagon press secretary, Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby, immediately denied any evidence of Perry’s claims. “I’ve seen no indication that they are coming across the border with Mexico. We have no information that leads us to believe that. That said, we do know they have aspirations to hit Western targets and that we’ve got to take that seriously and have to try to be ready for it,” Kirby told CNN. Mexican officials also quickly rejected the governor’s warnings. “Mexican authorities have no record of the presence of Islamist extremist groups or individuals in Mexico,” said Ariel Moutsatsos, minister for public affairs at the embassy in Washington. “We take all possible measures to impede any terrorist activity in our territory.” Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, joined Perry to warn Americans about terror threats from the largely unsecured U.S.-Mexico border. “The FBI director previously said … that there were people from terrorist countries who were assuming Hispanic names, and learning a few words of Spanish, and coming in,” Gohmert said. “The FBI director himself testified to that before Congress. So we know that this kind of thing has been going on. Governor Perry isn’t saying anything that’s new, it just takes a little while for the mainstream to catch up.” The congressman added that more recently, Marine General John Kelly, the Commander of South Command, testified before the House and Senate this year “that the penetration of our Southern border by criminal cartels, as well as terrorist organizations, poses, in his words, an ‘existential threat the United States.’” The reported threat from ISIS comes the day after President Obama acknowledged he has no strategy to deal with the terrorist army. The threat also comes as Britain has raised its terror-threat level to “severe” as the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks nears. A White House spokesman said today the U.S. has no plans to raise the threat level in this country. Developing….
