According to the information posted on DHS’s website, the threat environment is expected to become more dynamic due to several high-profile events that “could be exploited to justify acts of violence against a range of possible targets.”

Some of these threats are set out in hopes of impacting events such as public gatherings, faith-based institutions, schools, racial, ethnic, and religious minorities, government facilities and personnel, U.S. critical infrastructure, the media, and perceived ideological opponents.

DHS says they are working with the FBI to relay information and intelligence across every level of government to ensure the safety of citizens.

This NTAS bulletin will expire on November 30, 2022.
