One Year After the Paris Attacks, Congress Continues to Help Counter the Threat of Radical Islamist Terror

Statement

One year after the coordinated ISIS attacks across Paris, we remember those lost on that tragic day and look to better protect America from the threat. The House has passed dozens of bills aimed at bolstering our efforts to fight terror at home and abroad--and the House Homeland Security Committee will continue to lead the charge to do more to protect our homeland and support our allies.

Chairman McCaul: "One year ago the city of Paris was attacked by radical Islamist terrorists representing a deeply insidious worldview. That fateful November day we made a promise to our allies: we stand with you. And to our enemies: we will bring you to justice. The House of Representatives has passed legislation to defend our homeland against the types of attacks seen in Paris and beyond. We must block terrorist pathways into our country, counter radicalization at home, and make sure our first responders are prepared to fight terror when it reaches our city streets. We will never forget those who were killed in Paris--and Americans who have been lost to terror. The best way to honor their memory is to keep such violence from reaching our communities and, ultimately, defeat the jihadists who are behind it--wherever they are."
