McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — The head of the Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday issued a national terrorism alert due to a heightened threat environment in the United States that the agency directly links to racial and ethnic tensions with regards to immigration ideology and the new Biden administration.
Acting Secretary of Homeland Security David Pekoske sent out the National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin at 11 a.m. EST Wednesday after consulting with the intelligence community and law enforcement partners, his office said.
The advisory will be in place until April 30 and warns citizens that threats could be possible in upcoming weeks after President Joe Biden’s successful inaugural event. Intelligence preceding the Jan. 20 inauguration ceremonies in Washington, D.C., had indicated a high threat level but the events were carried off with no violence.
