The FBI and Department of Homeland Security warned on Friday of a rise in violent threats to federal agents and their families — including calls for “civil war” and “armed rebellion” — following the August 8 raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
In a joint bulletin, first reported by ABC News’ Aaron Katersky, both agencies referenced a recent spike in violent threats against federal law enforcement officials and even the federal judge who issued the warrant for the search.
According to CBS, which published excerpts of the bulletin’s text, the notice said the threats included one to “place a so-called dirty bomb in front of FBI Headquarters and issuing general calls for ‘civil war’ and ‘armed rebellion.
