TEXAS SHERIFF CONFIRMS: ISIS Cells Operating in Juarez, Mexico

Thank heavens leaders in both political parties have pressed the administration to secure the border. Oh wait. They haven't?

My mistake.

A Local Sheriff Leaves a Strong Message for ISIS

The terrorist group, ISIS, continues to terrorize the Middle East and threatens Americans -- as ISIS members have now murdered two American journalists. These terrible acts of violence have local law enforcement on standby.

"These people have said they're going to takeover, they're going to strike, they're going to hit, and we're going to be ready," said Midland County Sheriff Gary Painter... "We do have plans in place, we have an operational plan that'll work," said Painter.

Sheriff Painter says he's armed with specific ISIS information from an online intelligence briefing.

"There are ISIS cells that are operating in Juarez, Mexico," said Sheriff Painter.

While Sheriff Painter doesn't believe West Texans are in immediate danger, his staff preps for the worst.

"We practice things, we have tag teams that are ready to go," said Painter... "If it happens, we're going to handle it, I can promise you that," said Painter.

ISIS claims it's sending a message to the United States with the ruthless murders of two American journalists, but Sheriff Painter has a message of his own.

"I have no doubt, that if any of these fools show up we'll be glad to take care of them," said Sheriff Painter.

On Thursday, Judicial Watch reported that a "key Army base" near the Mexican border city of Juarez -- a hotbed of gang activity -- has beefed up its security dramatically because of the ISIS threat.
