Protection Considerations For Violent Extremist Threats To Public Officials
Violent extremists continue to encourage attacks against public officials, to incite violence, chaos, and create political instability. Violent extremists justify their actions through grievances, such as perceived government and law enforcement overreach; the anticipation of opposing legislative changes; and the proliferation of misinformation and conspiracy theories, all of which might intensify enduring grievances and encourage violent extremists to threaten violence or attack public officials.
Working with the Department of Justice Elder Fraud Initiative and other internal and external partners, the FBI is committed to identifying, investigating, and prosecuting criminals who target seniors. The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a key component in this endeavor, as it provides victims a venue to identify the subject and the fraud committed against them.
