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.

Two BILLION dollars worth of damage done by Antifa and BLM...
Over a period of months... and massive looting, death and mayhem ....
VS
One broken window and one damaged door - and violence that lasted LESS THAN TWO HOURS.
And commie thugs want to point the finger at traditional Americans? We’re dealing the totalitarians who are targeting us... and the people behind this are white liberal ‘elites’...
Now how many ANTIFA and BLM rallies or “mostly peaceful protests during the summer of love” have their been that destroyed federal or local government property?
Yeah, I can really understand why Biden and the corrupt new Home Land Security folks want to crack down on anti-Biden forces? Oh, does that include the ANTIFA group in Portland that marched on the Biden for President headquarters and vandalized it? I didn't think so, they aren't “real” terrorists, just Trump supporters.
This is going to end very badly for Democrats.
Bttt.

They have been at war with us. For 4 years we had Trump between them and us. Now that Trump is gone, they are going for the throat.
Where was this win BOM/antifa was attacking federal officers, burning down police stations, looting and destroying businesses, etc. over the summer?
Well then, just what the heck are you griping about.! Maybe the fact that that we just don't like Joe the commie and Harris the hoe.??
Nanzism is worse than McCarthyism.
Change my mind
Left wing paranoid hysteria
Commies are trying to 'peel off' a substantial part of that seventy-five million ... they'll fail.
Just like they failed each time they announced : "This will make Trump's base turn against him"... never happened.
The other problem commies have is there's not many of them...
They're using every tactic to make their numbers look larger than they are - but once outside of DC - AND hellhole dem cities - they're nonexistent.
A similar thing happened in Rwanda in the 90’s.
State run radio drummed up hatred against their racial enemies for weeks.
Then it all just exploded in an orgy of bloodletting.
But it can’t happen here.
Cool, I always wanted to be a terrorist.
One more item to scratch off the bucket list.
This isn’t based on the current situation. It is based on what they are about to do to us.
Looks like the Biden gang is going all in.. over nothing credible.
How Nazi-esque of him and his henchmen pimpleheads.
Who are these people? The ones the FBI supports.
You ought to send that photo to DHS. On the face of it, it is exactly the kind of threat they CLAIM to be talking about: anarchy, revenge, anti-Biden, a drawing of a semi-automatic rifle, and people wearing militia-like uniforms.
“The US Department of Homeland Security..”
And who created that corny named horseshit agency as a knee jerk reaction to 9/11? This is what happens when the reigns of power over such monstrosities falls into the wrong hands. This kind of stuff used to fall in the purview of the FBI when it was still a credible operation.
