"This is the eighth time DHS has issued the bulletin since 2021, with this advisory replacing the previous warning, issued last November.
It comes just days after a 19-year-old man from the state of Missouri crashed a rented truck into a White House security barrier before waving a Nazi flag, and as the nation marks the first anniversary of a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
“Recent tragic events highlight the continued heightened threat environment our nation faces,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement.
“These threats are driven by violent extremists who seek to further their ideological beliefs and personal grievances,” he said. “We are working with partners across every level of government, within the private sector, and in local communities to keep Americans safe.”
As with previous advisories, the latest bulletin warns the biggest threat comes from individuals and small groups prepared to act either on personal grievances or a range of ideological beliefs.
“We continue to hear and see calls from domestic violent extremists based on ideological views, calls for violence,” according to one senior official, who briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by DHS. “The tempo and the seriousness of those kinds of calls is still high and happening on a regular basis.”
For example, the DHS bulletin points to the May 6 shooting in Allen, Texas, noting the gunman, Mauricio Garcia, espoused both white supremacist and involuntary celibate, or “incel,” beliefs."
just more leftist fantasy...
