Hannah Allam's article highlights the unsettling appointment of Thomas Fugate, a 22-year-old with no notable national security experience, to a crucial role overseeing terrorism prevention at the Department of Homeland Security. As the U.S. braces for potential Iranian retaliation, Fugate's position is especially concerning given his background as a Trump campaign worker and intern at the far-right Heritage Foundation. Critics describe his appointment as shocking and liken it to placing an intern in charge of vital national security operations, especially following major changes under the Trump administration that have shifted focus away from broader safety concerns.
After the big boom-booms this weekend, we are now on alert for Iranian retaliation here at home and abroad.
Fugate's appointment is the latest shock for an office that has been decimated since President Donald Trump returned to the White House.
It sounds like putting the intern in charge.
Known as CP3, the office has led nationwide efforts to prevent hate-fueled attacks, school shootings, and other forms of targeted violence.
