GB News has reported that a people-smuggler tracked by their team may be an ISIS fanatic, sharing brutal execution videos linked to the terrorist group while facilitating illegal migration to Britain. Patrick Christys highlighted concerns that smugglers are posting ISIS propaganda to lure migrants. The issue has sparked debate over the illegal migrant crisis, with calls for deportation of those entering illegally to protect public safety. European officials and analysts warn that mass migration is being exploited by violent extremists and used as a tool by actors such as Russia, which has a presence on Libya’s coast and controls human smuggling hubs. The US Embassy in Europe and other diplomatic sources emphasize that terrorism requires only an opening, not an invitation, and urge Europe to secure its borders to prevent terrorists from entering. Experts also link support for illegal immigration to backing warlords, drug traffickers, and jihadist cells with influence in Africa, underscoring the security risks posed by unchecked migration flows into Europe.
