?Claims of government overreach? are fueling domestic terror, the agency said
The FBI and US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claim that they’ve received threats of bombings, violence, and « civil war, » since federal agents raided the Florida home of Donald Trump. Supporters of the former president say the search was politically motivated.
The FBI and DHS « have identified multiple articulated threats and calls for the targeted killing of judicial, law enforcement, and government officials associated with the Palm Beach search, » the agencies warned in a bulletin to federal and local law enforcement as reported by multiple US outlets on Sunday.
The bulletin stated that federal agents have « observed an increase in violent threats posted on social media against federal officials and facilities, » including « a threat to place a so-called dirty bomb in front of FBI Headquarters and issuing general calls for ‘civil war’ and ‘armed rebellion’. »
« Many of these threats include references to the perception that the 2020 Presidential election was fraudulent and other claims of government overreach, » the bulletin continued, adding that these claims « have mobilized [Domestic Violent Extremists] in the past.
