... Extremists could be mobilized to commit acts of violence in the coming months by "their perceptions of the 2024 general election cycle and legislative or judicial decisions pertaining to sociopolitical issues," said a new National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin released by the Department of Homeland Security today.

The bulletin sites recent attacks including this month's mass shooting at an Allen, Texas, outlet center in which eight people were killed and seven injured. "Law enforcement continues to investigate the motive behind the attack, but initial reporting suggests the attacker fixated on mass shootings and held views consistent with racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist (RMVE) and involuntary celibate violent extremist ideologies," NTAS says. It also notes that "law enforcement continues to investigate the motive behind the attack" that killed six people at a Christian elementary school in Nashville in March, with investigation revealing so far that "the individual studied other mass murderers."

"Also in March 2023, a RMVE driven by a belief in the superiority of the white race was arrested and charged with allegedly attempting to use an improvised incendiary device to burn down a church in Ohio that was planning to host a drag-themed event," the bulletin continued. "In February 2023, two RMVEs driven by a belief in the superiority of the white race were arrested and are now awaiting trial for plotting an attack against electrical substations in Maryland. These arrests followed a series of recent attacks against electrical infrastructure, which some DVEs have praised and leveraged to call for more attacks on critical infrastructure." ...
