FBI 'Truck Terror' alone...Trump highlights illegal immigration crime day after day

[Anchor]
In response to the New Year's Day truck crash in New Orleans, U.S. authorities have weighed in on the Islamic State-inspired solo crime.

It is said that there is no connection to the cyber truck explosion in Las Vegas on the same day, but Trump is emphasizing the problem of illegal immigrant crime every day.

The entire U.S. has been in shock since the start of the new year, as trucks rushed into crowds for the New Year, killing 15 people and seriously injuring more than 35.

The FBI, which is investigating the case, is weighing up the possibility of U.S. veteran Zabar's lone crime.

[Christopher Raia/U.S. FBI Deputy Director: At this time, we do not believe anyone other than Shamsud Dean Zabar, who has already briefed, was involved in the attack.]

As U.S. President Joe Biden said earlier, he also reiterated that Zabar was inspired by Islamic State, ISIS.

It said there was no connection to the Tesla Cybertruck explosion in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas on the same day.

The FBI and local Las Vegas police have been investigating the link between the two incidents after the driver killed in the explosion was found to be an active-duty U.S. Army.

[Christopher Raia / Deputy FBI Director] What I can confirm is that the suspect was 100% inspired by ISIS. As things stand, there is still no definitive link between the New Orleans and Las Vegas events.]

The suspect in the New Orleans truck attack was found to be a U.S. citizen, but Trump emphasized the problem of illegal immigrant crime on social media today following yesterday.

The Biden administration's policy of opening borders has made Islamic terrorism and crime worse, and he has accused it of being the worst president in history.

As a series of terrorist incidents have occurred since New Year's Day, tension is also rising here in Washington, DC, ahead of the inauguration ceremony on the 20th.

In particular, former President Carter's national funeral on the 9th will be attended by former and current presidents as well as Trump, which has strengthened security posture, with additional careers deployed throughout the city.
