In this week's update, we examine the horrific December 14, 2025, terrorist attack at Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach, where a Muslim father-and-son duo targeted families celebrating the first night of Hanukkah at the "Chanukah by the Sea" event. The attack killed 15 and injured 42 others in an assault inspired by Islamic State ideology. From recovered ISIS flags and IEDs at the scene to the group's gleeful praise of the attackers as "heroes," this week's report details the chilling resurgence of global jihadist threats—and the urgent security responses across Australia and beyond.

In this week's update, we dive into the explosive Dec 11, 2025, House hearings on "Worldwide Threats to the Homeland." NCTC Director Joe Kent dropped a bombshell: approximately 18,000 known or suspected terrorists—with ties to jihadist groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda—were admitted to the U.S. under the Biden administration's policies, marking the top domestic terrorism risk today. From embedded jihadists and cartel-driven chaos to surging drone threats and China's dominant cyber assaults, the week's update outlines the stark picture of escalating dangers—and the Trump administration's aggressive response to neutralize them.

As the 2025 holiday season ramps up, a new USGOV intelligence bulletin warns that the terror threat to soft targets—Christmas markets, parades, houses of worship, and New Year’s celebrations—remains acutely elevated on both sides of the Atlantic. Lone offenders and small cells, inspired by ISIS, al-Qaida, domestic violent extremists, or a toxic mix of all three, are judged the most likely danger, armed with simple weapons: knives, guns, vehicles, or even hoax threats meant to sow panic and bleed resources. Meanwhile, in a historic move, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has slammed the brakes on all pending asylum applications nationwide and paused green cards, citizenship, and travel documents for nationals of 19 high-risk countries. The directive also triggers mandatory re-vetting—including in-person interviews—for potentially hundreds of thousands of entrants since 2021. We break down the new intel report, the European hot spots, the policy earthquake in immigration enforcement, and what it all actually means for your safety this December.

We open this week’s briefing in a powder-keg Caribbean, where Operation Southern Spear has surged the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group and a reawakened Roosevelt Roads into position for rapid strikes on Venezuela’s narco-regime. We walk through the war cabinet’s menu of options—decapitation raids, port and airstrip bombings, and Marines on the beach—and the cascading risks of militias, cartels, and Russian-Iranian weapons threatening to turn any incursion into another endless jungle insurgency. Stateside, we unpack Operation Charlotte’s Web in NC, where DHS is stress-testing its new mass-removal machine, driving shuttered job sites, emptied classrooms, and a rising wave of self-deportations as enforcement ramps. In travel security news, we dissect the U.S. embassy's warning to American "snowbirds" heading to Mexico, the cartel narco-banners declaring open season on Americans in resort corridors, and the simmering anti-foreigner backlash in Mexico City’s gentrified neighborhoods.

We open this week's briefing with a look at twin suicide blasts shattering the capitals of nuclear powers India and Pakistn. We then unpack India's foiled bioterror nightmare: Delhi markets, temples, and offices contaminated with ricin derrived from castor bean mash. Across the Atlantic, Europe's drone ghost returns with heat-cloaked incursions over U.S. nuke bunkers in Belgium and Sweden's military airstrips, testing NATO's hybrid-war nerves. Stateside, Secretary Rubio slaps FTO labels on four Antifa cells in Germany, Italy, and Greece, unleashing asset freezes to gut leftist terror's anti-American veins.

We begin this week’s update with a chilling vehicle-ramming spree on France’s Île d’Oléron, where a self-radicalized local shouted “Allahu Akbar,” plowed into pedestrians for 35 minutes, and tried to detonate propane cylinders—leaving 10 injured, four critical. We then shift to NATO’s nuclear headache in Belgium: professional drones swarming U.S. B-61 gravity bomb sites, evading jammers with frequency-hopping and night formations, prompting shoot-down orders as Russia is fingered in the investigation. Finally, across Europe, 2025’s jihadist shadow results in canceled Christmas markets in Germany, with security costs and past massacres like Berlin and Magdeburg killing tradition itself.

We open this week’s update with a look at how unfunded social-welfare programs are setting the stage for civil unrest and opportunistic crime.

We open this week's update with a look at how DHS is navigating the fourth week of a government shutdown amid tightening resources, rising threats, and a surge in violence against federal personnel. Up first, Secretary Kristi Noem unveils “Operation River Wall,” a fortified mix of water barriers, drones, and heavily armed Coast Guard patrols along the Rio Grande river.
