ABC News: 'Case Disrupted' Ahead of Pope Francis Visit to US, Says House Homeland Security Chair

The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee expressed his concern today about security ahead of Pope Francis’s visit to the United States later this month, adding that authorities have already “disrupted one particular case.”

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) didn’t offer specifics on the case he said was disrupted, only saying he had been briefed by the Secret Service. The pope is scheduled to arrive in the U.S. later this month and will visit New York, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia.
