A horrifying terrorist attack unfolded on New Year’s Eve in New Orleans, as a man drove a truck through a crowded Bourbon Street area before exiting the vehicle and opening fire. The attack left at least 10 people dead and two police officers injured.
A Suspicious Flag and Links to Extremism
Reports indicate that the truck had a black flag attached to its bed, raising speculation about ties to ISIS or another terror group. Authorities have not confirmed the significance of the flag, but its presence suggests the attack could have been ideologically motivated.
Fox News reported that the same truck involved in the attack was seen crossing into the United States at Eagle Pass, Texas, just two days prior. Federal officials confirmed this information, though details about the attacker’s citizenship and background remain unverified.

Attorney Phil Holloway, speaking on Fox News, described the development as part of a troubling trend tied to border security: “As I’m standing by for my hit on Fox News, I’m hearing reporting that the killer just came into the U.S. two days ago at the Eagle Pass border crossing. Joe’s open border once again leads to loss of American lives.”
New reports suggest the attack was premeditated. The first alleged photos of the terrorist have surfaced online, showing the suspect dressed in military fatigues. However, law enforcement has yet to officially confirm the attacker’s identity or any affiliations.
The attack has reignited debates over border policies and national security. Critics argue that lax border controls may have enabled the suspect’s entry. The incident also underscores the growing threat of ideologically driven violence in the United States.
Authorities are continuing their investigation into the attack, focusing on the suspect’s movements, motives, and possible connections to extremist groups.
