Threats against politicians, doctors and police: Here is some of the intelligence that led to the la

latest DHS warning

WASHINGTON — “How long before a politician is killed for mandating vaccines?” someone posted on a social media platform being monitored by law enforcement. The responses were numerous and discussed targeting U.S. and Australian politicians, U.S.-bound migrants and mass transit and passenger rail systems with chlorine gas and or explosive-laden unmanned aircraft systems in response to vaccination mandates.

The online posts discussing targeting politicians, migrants and mass transit systems in response to vaccination mandates, were flagged by the Department of Homeland Security and sent to law enforcement for further investigation, according to internal intelligence reports obtained by Yahoo News.

The vaccine discussion was just one example of some of the online potential threats being tracked by law enforcement in the weeks leading to an updated National Threat Advisory System Bulletin on the heightened threat environment ahead of the holiday season.

The DHS issued the new threat bulletin on Wednesday, the fourth such warning put out since January 2021. “These threats include those posed by individuals and small groups engaged in violence, including domestic violent extremists (DVEs) and those inspired or motivated by foreign terrorists and other malign foreign influences,” the bulletin states.
