Description
Fourteen people are dead and dozens more are injured after a pickup driver rammed into a crowd during New Year’s celebrations on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
The deadly attack is being investigated as an act of terrorism inspired by the Islamic State group, or ISIS.
In the wake of the suspected terror attack, some prominent public officials, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), and other people online claimed the attacker, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was in the U.S. illegally. These types of claims also prompted some people to blame ineffective border security for the attack, with one person writing in a viral X post that President Joe Biden “caused it with his wide open border.”
