SEATTLE - Florida Senator Marco Rubio has raised concerns over potential terrorist activity in the U.S. by a group he described as anti-Israel. Concretely, he sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in which he said "Unity of Fields" should be considered a domestic terrorist organization as it has aligned and declared its allegiance to groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
Following the recent removal of eight Tajikistan nationals with ties to the Islamic State terror group who were planning an attack in the U.S., as well as the arrest of an Afghan man that was plotting an attack on Election Day, Senator Rubio has highlighted the organization Unity of Fields as a potential danger for the U.S. He has asked Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate the "anti-Zionist" group as its agenda could "endanger citizens."
