Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen highlights terror, cyber threats
Secretary Nielsen said "Islamist militants" are the biggest terror threat.

The biggest threat to the United States remains "Islamist militants" and their followers, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said on Monday.
At an annual address on the state of homeland security, Nielsen also pointed to homegrown terrorism and state-sponsored hackers. She said her agency is working with the State Department to put countries on notice when they don’t meet new "more stringent" requirements "to crack down on terrorist travel."
"Governments who work with us will make the world safer from extremists, while those that fail to comply will face consequences," she said.
The remarks come after a self-described white supremacist allegedly killed 50 people at two mosques in New Zealand.
"We will not permit such hate in our homeland," Nielsen said Monday.
