Homeland Security has issued a warning regarding the chances of a rise in extremist violence in upcoming months.
James Barragán of the Texas Tribune says, “They’re concerned about the big emotions that there are happening right now as big news events happen,” adding, ‘We’re all expecting the decision on abortion rights from the Supreme Court later this month. Obviously, there’s been multiple mass shootings across the country in the last couple of weeks. And then we’ve got the November midterm elections, all of which will bring emotions to a boiling point. And the Department of Homeland Security says we have to be on the lookout for that because it could lead to violent events.”
