MIDLAND, TX (Local Big 2 News) -- The extreme militant group, ISIS continues to terrorize the Middle East, and threatens Americans, as the militia members have now murdered two American journalists. These terrible acts of violence have "local" law enforcement on standby.
"These people have said they're going to takeover, they're going to strike, they're going to hit, and we're going to be ready," said Midland County Sheriff Gary Painter.
Ready for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as ISIS.
"We do have plans in place, we have an operational plan that'll work," said Painter.
Midland County Sheriff Gary Painter says he's armed with specific ISIS information from an online intelligence briefing.
"There are ISIS sales that are operating in Juarez, Mexico," said Painter.
While Sheriff Painter doesn't believe West Texans are in immediate danger, his staff preps for the worst.
"We practice things, we have tag teams that are ready to go," said Painter.
To put Americans at ease, the Secretary of Homeland Security released a statement on the issue, saying quote, "The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are unaware of any specific, credible threat to the U.S."
But painter isn't taking any chances.
"If it happens, we're going to handle it, I can promise you that," said Painter.

Calling those who are terrorizing in the name of ISIS militia members is trying to minimize their activities and equate them to American militias.
Terrorists. Period.
Thanks for the Ping. So far no bad guys seen on my way to or from Midland today. :)
.....that I know of....which is the scary part...they blend in around here.
both
It is sad that so many have stopped believing they have a government...
Ain’t that the truth.
My friends went to Marfa and then rode along the Rio Grande last weekend in that area. They said they did not see any illegals but did see a lot of Border Patrol.
Good to hear that the border patrol is in place and is actively searching for and rounding up the illegals. I’m sure we have plenty right here in the Permian Basin. I just hope they’re just Mexicans [and NOT ME’ers] and can be sent back when located.
