The Homeland continues to face a diverse and challenging threat environment leading up to and following the 20th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks as well religious holidays we assess could serve as a catalyst for acts of targeted violence.
These threats include those posed by domestic terrorists, individuals and groups engaged in grievance-based violence, and those inspired or motivated by foreign terrorists and other malign foreign influences.
These actors are increasingly exploiting online forums to influence & spread violent extremist narratives & promote violent activity. Such threats are exacerbated by impacts of the ongoing pandemic, including grievances over public health safety measures & perceived restrictions.
