The United States is facing "threats that have evolved significantly and become increasingly complex and volatile in 2021," โปรโมชั่น slotxo according to an updated National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin on domestic violent extremism issued Friday by the Department of Homeland Security.
"These threats include those posed by domestic terrorists, individuals and groups engaged in grievance-based violence, and those inspired or influenced by foreign terrorists and other malign foreign influences," the bulletin reads. "Social media and online forums are increasingly exploited by these actors to influence and spread violent extremist narratives and activity."
Shortly after President Joe Biden was sworn into office, DHS issued the first NTAS bulletin on domestic violent extremism in years. The bulletin the agency issued in January ran out April 26.
DHS also notes in its new bulletin that violent extremists could seek to exploit the easing of COVID-19 restrictions.
On Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention introduced new mask guidelines, which stated that fully vaccinated people do not have to wear a mask inside or outdoors.
"Violent extremists may seek to exploit the easing of COVID-19-related restrictions across the United States to conduct attacks against a broader range of targets after previous public capacity limits reduced opportunities for lethal attacks," according to the bulletin.
