Acting Homeland Security Secretary Pete Gaynor issued a statement raising the level of the terror alert in the United States, citing a climate of growing threats linked to what he described as violent extremists against the US federal government.
The ministry stated on its website that it had no credible information about a specific plot, but it had noticed that violent riots took place in recent days, and that the threats were expected to continue for several weeks.
On January 6, supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the Congress building at his instigation, killing four people and arresting 52 others.
