Homeland Security warns of 'increasing but modest' threat of violence from Trump conspiracy.
"Over the last few days what has occurred is there's been much more public visibility, meaning the discussions and these theories have migrated away from being contained within the conspiracy and extremist online communities, to where they're being the topic of discussion on web forums, or more public web forums, and even within the sort of media ecosystem," a senior DHS official explained.
The department"does not have the luxury of waiting till we uncover information with the level of specificity, regarding a potential location and the time of an attack" to act on potential threats due to the threat environment, the senior DHS official explained. "Past circumstances have illustrated that calls for violence could expand rapidly in the public domain and may be occurring outside of publicly available channels. As such, lone offenders and small groups of individuals could mobilize to violence with little-to-no warning," the bulletin says.

Homeland Security warns of 'increasing but modest' threat of violence from Trump conspiracyThe Department of Homeland Security said Friday they have observed 'an increasing but modest level of activity online' by people who are calling for violence in response to baseless claims of 2020 election fraud and related to the conspiracy theory that former President Donald Trump will be reinstated. 'Some conspiracy theories associated with reinstating former President Trump have included calls for violence if desired outcomes are not realized,' according to a DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis bulletin obtained by ABC News. There is no evidence that shows there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.
