Violent extremists could take advantage of the easing of Covid restrictions, warns DHS
"Extremists may seek to exploit the easing of Covid [restrictions] to conduct attacks" since more people will now gather in public, the bulletin said.

The Department of Homeland Security issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin on Friday, extending the warning it issued at the beginning of the Biden administration in the wake of the Jan. 6 attacks on the Capitol, and warning that extremists could take advantage of the easing of Covid-19 restrictions.

“Violent extremists may seek to exploit the easing of Covid-19-related restrictions across the United States to conduct attacks against a broader range of targets after previous public capacity limits reduced opportunities for lethal attacks,” the bulletin said.

A senior DHS official said the bulletin is “not linked to a specific credible threat” but is being shared to inform the public about threats and ways they can report suspicious activity.

The bulletin also warned that nation-state adversaries like Russia, China and Iran have “repeatedly amplified conspiracy theories concerning the origins of Covid-19 and effectiveness of vaccines, in some cases, amplifying calls for violence targeting persons of Asian descent.”
