Officials are focused on two kinds of emerging threats: foreign state actors attempting to incite violence in the U.S., as well as domestic violent extremists trying to capitalize on the highly charged political environment.
State and local law enforcement agencies have issued raw intelligence and situational awareness reports warning of a"highly sensitive and politically charged" threat environment in the wake of the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion, according to several intelligence bulletins obtained by CBS News.
The bulletin – dated May 11, 2022 – notes that demonstrations"may become flash points for violence and criminal activity with little to no warning." On Saturday, Planned Parenthood, Women's March and other abortion rights advocates plan to rally at the Washington Monument at noon. A permit approved by the National Park Service and obtained by CBS News notes there are 17,000 participants expected to attend.
"Another big concern is that we've got large gatherings of folks potentially demonstrating," Sena said."All it takes – as we saw in Charlottesville – is one person with a car to cause a lot of havoc. So, there's real concern about protecting mass gatherings of folks out there trying to exercise their first amendment rights."
The Central Florida Intelligence Exchange warned in a bulletin of anarchist violent extremists issuing online threats to places of worship that support anti-abortion causes. One flagged post read,"Fire to the churches!" and urges followers to use"a combative approach."
