President-elect Donald Trump has long warned that the Biden administration was not fortifying the country against Islamist terrorism on U.S. soil, and his supporters say New Year’s Day attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas hammered home the point.

Mr. Trump and his allies blamed the massacre of 14 pedestrians by an ISIS-inspired terrorist on President Biden’s open border policies and weak leadership. They faulted the Biden administration’s focus on investigating White nationalism, religious organizations and activist parents who complain at school board meetings.

“Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World! This is what happens when you have OPEN BORDERS, with weak, ineffective, and virtually nonexistent leadership,” Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social.

Critics say the administration prioritized diversity, equity and inclusion policies instead of monitoring for the kind of Islamist radicalization that motivated Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old Army veteran, to plow through a crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street early Wednesday.

“The FBI should be focused on fighting criminals and terrorists. Instead, the agency has wasted valuable resources hosting DEI seminars, investigating churchgoers and raiding President Trump’s home,” said Sen. Marsha Blackburn, Tennessee Republican.

Security experts said Mr. Trump will quickly turn the government’s attention toward preventing further Islamist terrorist attacks.
