- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a terrorism advisory bulletin Wednesday warning of a “heightened threat environment,” referencing the recent assault on Paul Pelosi assault and the Colorado Club Q shooting.
- The DHS bulletin, a summary of the “terrorism threat” in the U.S., suggested that there is an increased potential for “threat actors” to exploit events over the holiday through violence.
- “Following the late November shooting at an LGBTQI+ bar in Colorado Springs, Colorado—which remains under investigation—we have observed actors on forums known to post racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist content praising the alleged attacker,” the bulletin reads.
