White supremacists and racist domestic terrorists pose the largest threat of violence in the United States amid nationwide protests across the country, according to a new intelligence bulletin.
The bulletin — which was sent to local law enforcement by the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and National Counterterrorism Center and reported by ABC News — warns of threats by left-wing and anarchist groups as well.
But it barely mentions Antifa as a potential violent group — though federal lawmakers have called for the loosely affiliated movement to be labeled a terror group amid nationwide protests against police brutality.
“We assess the greatest threat of lethal violence continues to emanate from lone offenders with racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist ideologies and [domestic violent extremists] with personalized ideologies,” the bulletin states, according to ABC News.
In addition, militias and right-wing racist groups are seeking to start a second American Civil War by targeting protests, according to the report.
“Militia extremists and [groups] who advocate a belief in the superiority of the white race have sought to bring about a second civil war, often referred to as a ‘Boogaloo’ by intentionally instigating violence at First Amendment-protected activities,” the bulletin states.
Widespread media attention and online posts be extremists are likely to contribute to potential violent acts, it adds.
The memo adds that left-wing and anarchist groups pose the greatest threat to police officers and the potential destruction of police and government property.
“Anarchist extremists continue to pose the most significant threat of targeted assaults against police, as well as targeting government buildings and police vehicles for damage, sometimes with improvised incendiary devices,” the bulletin states.
The document only mentions the existence of Antifa once in a footnote, according to the report, noting that some anarchists self identify as “Antifa.”

After the events of the last three years, no one gives a sh*t what the FBI says. And this even further undermines their credibility.
And I should trust the FBI, because...?
What white supermacists?
Does anyone actually KNOW any?
Or is the left just tilting at windmills again? (rhetorical question)
Exactly.
My hero
There is simply no reason to trust the fbi.
JoMa
Sounds like the swamp creatures of the FBI haven’t been entirely purged.
Where are they?
In the whole country there might be a couple thousand, if that.
There are more antifa terrorists in Portland, OR.
Those damn white nationalists who were looting those stores, attacking cops, stormed the Portland mayors office and threatened to storm the White House
We don't have J. Edgar anymore, we have Mr. Magoo.
Same old trash talk about “white supremacists”. Such are not even on the radar, bus Islam is and of course the evil creatures in DC don’t even mention it. Evil beyond believe DC has become.
Fu*king Bunch of Idiots
What? With all the Antifa violence this is what they come up with?
Bite me.
Isn’t this what the Nazi’s actually did though? They dehumanized Jews and made sure that anyone associating with them would also face ‘troubles’.
Now we have the left trying to create a climate where if you don’t support their far left position you should face ‘troubles’.
Same thing.
I believe it was Charlottesville (or something like that). And I still don't understand how/why he was convicted. It looked like his car was being attacked by a mob, and he was just trying to haul out of there as fast as he could. And if one of the assailant mob got hit - that was too bad, but more the fault of the mob than the driver.
I’m sitting here wondering why no one believes the FBI anymore......
Russia. Russia, Russia...
White Supremacists, White Supremacists, White Supremacists...
Any questions?
And Unicorns. Very dangerous. Usually seen next to White Supremacists. Beware.
Wray sooooo needs to be fired.
