DHS Chief Alejandro Mayorkas
The DHS on Friday issued a terrorism advisory warning that violent “domestic extremists” may exploit the easing of Covid restrictions to plan new attacks.
The DHS also admitted that the agency has zero information to indicate a specific, credible plot.
The Department of Homeland Security issued a new domestic terrorism advisory that is active through August 13, 2021 – JUST BECAUSE.
“Ideologically-motivated violent extremists fueled by perceived grievances, false narratives, and conspiracy theories continue to share information online with the intent to incite violence,” the DHS National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) bulletin reads.

There is no specific threat, but the DHS is issuing the terrorism advisory anyway to keep the police state going.
DHS does not have any information to indicate a specific, credible plot; however, DHS asks all Americans to report any suspicious activity and threats of violence to local law enforcement, @FBI Field Offices, or a local Fusion Center. https://t.co/lci3bAMVa8 #NTAS

“The Secretary of Homeland Security has issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin regarding the current heightened threat environment across the United States. The Homeland is facing threats that have evolved significantly and become increasingly complex and volatile in 2021. 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. Social media and online forums are increasingly exploited by these actors to influence and spread violent extremist narratives and activity. Such threats also are exacerbated by the impacts from the ongoing global pandemic.” the bulletin reads.
“Today’s terrorism-related threat landscape is more complex, more dynamic, and more diversified than it was several years ago,” Secretary Mayorkas said in a statement to CBS News. “We know that providing timely and useful information to the public is critical as we all work together to secure the homeland.”
