The US Department of Homeland Security declared a nationwide terrorism alert Wednesday, citing the potential threat from domestic anti-government extremists opposed to Joe Biden as president.
"Information suggests that some ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence," the department said.
The National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin said a heightened threat of attack "will persist in the weeks following the successful presidential inauguration," which took place on January 20.
"DHS does not have any information to indicate a specific, credible plot," it said.
"However, violent riots have continued in recent days and we remain concerned that individuals frustrated with the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition... could continue to mobilize a broad range of ideologically-motivated actors to incite or commit violence."
The alert said there had been mounting threats since last year from domestic violent extremists motivated by Covid-19 restrictions, Biden's defeat of Donald Trump in the November election, police brutality and illegal immigration.
DHS said these motivations could remain in place for the coming months and that the January 6 attack by Trump supporters on Congress could embolden extremists "to target elected officials and government facilities."
More than 150 people, including members of armed extremist groups, have been arrested since the attack, which has been branded as an insurrection.
The department urged the public to report suspicious activity and threats of violence.

And so it starts, with no credible threat. Just like bad acting in an elementary school play...about a hoax.
Ping.
Well, I am about tired of these useless shutdowns and lockdowns. So, there’s that. I’m thinking there going to keep pushing and pushing to get a reaction so they can go full dictator mode.
Wasn’t it just a week ago the FBI said all 50 State capitals were under the threat of “domestic terrorists”?
So we are assuming that those who didn't vote for Joe Biden are traitors and seditionists.
And may be shot on sight.
Just in case something happens or they need to plan something.
“DHS does not have any information to indicate a specific, credible plot,” it said.
Seeing how they ignored such specific, credible plots when it came to Antifa and BLM I’m sensing credibility is not what is driving this narrative.
I’m far more concerned about pro-”government” extremists, particularly socialists Warren, Schumer, Pelosi, Harris, Brennan, Comey, Clapper, AOC, and their anti-American allies. The enemy within is the most dangerous.
“anti-government extremists opposed to Joe Biden as president”
All 75,000,000+ of us?
The FIBBERs gonna be busy....
But actual political violence was protected by mayors and governors all spring and summer. Wouldn’t even call up the national guard as mobs attacked police, police stations, federal courthouses, statues and landmarks, and burned and looted 1000s of small businesses for political purposes.
They intend to subjugate and ultimately eliminate anyone who doesn’t sufficient celebrate their Marxist dictatorship. How CCP of them.
The play put on in Charlottesville was to set the narrative that patriots are terrorists, this is just the latest advancement of that narrative.
WOLVERINES!
Why post this crap from Yahoo!? You know it is always slanted. I’m surprised they are still in business.
Starts?
We’ve been at war for years - we just haven’t been fighting.
“violent riots have continued in recent days”
Totally true, in Portland, Seattle and Tacoma.
So they're using the continuing BLM/Antifa riots as an excuse to crack down on people who are objecting to voter fraud. Aren't they good little Nazis.
