Threat Assessment November 6, 2024-January 20, 2025

In March 2024, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued its most recent “Annual Threat Assessment,” focusing primarily on foreign threats. Last month, the Department of Homeland security issued its “2025 Homeland Threat Assessment” concluding that the threat of Domestic and Foreign Terrorism in the Homeland Remains High. The first threat identified by DHS was “potential violent extremist responses to domestic sociopolitical developments — particularly the 2024 election cycle….” Remember, that assessment gives the view of DHS Secretary Mayorkas who has kept our border flung open to all comers for four years. While useful collections of information, these reports only begin to explain what could happen in the coming months.
