A claim that ISIS is in Mexico and planning attacks against the United States have been denied by the Department of Homeland Security, despite reports to the contrary.

Center-right group Judicial Watch reported the militant group ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria) was operating in Juarez, Mexico, a city located just across the U.S. border of Texas.

Judicial Watch claimed that ISIS was planning to “attack the United States with car bombs or other vehicle born improvised explosive devices (VBIED).”  The report was said to be confirmed by high-level federal law enforcement, intelligence, and other sources and that a warning bulletin of an imminent terrorist attack had been issued.

A Department of Homeland Security spokesman told MailOnline that “we are aware of absolutely nothing credible to substantiate this claim” made by Judicial Watch.

“In Mexico?” the official said on the phone. “I haven't seen that at all.”
