National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin [June 7, 2022]
This is the June 7, 2022 National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin released by the Department of Homeland Security, set to expire on November 30, 2022. From the Summary: "The United States remains in a heightened threat environment, as noted in the previous Bulletin, and several recent attacks have highlighted the dynamic and complex nature of the threat environment. In the coming months, we expect the threat environment to become more dynamic as several high-profile events could be exploited to justify acts of violence against a range of possible targets. These targets could include public gatherings, faith-based institutions, schools, racial and religious minorities, government facilities and personnel, U.S. critical infrastructure, the media, and perceived ideological opponents. Threat actors have recently mobilized to violence due to factors such as personal grievances, reactions to current events, and adherence to violent extremist ideologies, including racially or ethnically motivated or anti-government/anti-authority violent extremism. Foreign adversaries--including terrorist organizations and nation state adversaries--also remain intent on exploiting the threat environment to promote or inspire violence, sow discord, or undermine U.S. democratic institutions. We continue to assess that the primary threat of mass casualty violence in the United States stems from lone offenders and small groups motivated by a range of ideological beliefs and/or personal grievances."

National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin [February 7, 2022]
This is the February 7, 2022 National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin released by the Department of Homeland Security, set to expire on June 7, 2022. From the Summary: "The United States remains in a heightened threat environment fueled by several factors, including an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis- dis- and mal-information [hyperlink] (MDM) introduced and/or amplified by foreign and domestic threat actors. These threat actors seek to exacerbate societal friction to sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest, which could potentially inspire acts of violence. Mass casualty attacks and other acts of targeted violence conducted by lone offenders and small groups acting in furtherance of ideological beliefs and/or personal grievances pose an ongoing threat to the nation. While the conditions underlying the heightened threat landscape have not significantly changed over the last year, the convergence of the following factors has increased the volatility, unpredictability, and complexity of the threat environment: '(1)' the proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions; '(2)' continued calls for violence directed at U.S. critical infrastructure; soft targets and mass gatherings; faith-based institutions, such as churches, synagogues, and mosques; institutions of higher education; racial and religious minorities; government facilities and personnel, including law enforcement and the military; the media; and perceived ideological opponents; and '(3)' calls by foreign terrorist organizations for attacks on the United States based on recent events."

National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin [November 10, 2021]
This is the November 10, 2021 National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin released by the Department of Homeland Security. From the Document: "The Secretary of Homeland Security has issued an updated National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin regarding the current heightened threat environment across the United States. The Homeland continues to face a diverse and challenging threat environment as it approaches several religious holidays and associated mass gatherings that in the past have served as potential targets for acts of violence. 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. These actors continue to exploit online forums to influence and spread violent extremist narratives and promote violent activity. The ongoing global pandemic continues to exacerbate these threats, in part due to perceived government overreach in implementation of public health safety measures. Further, foreign terrorist organizations and DVEs continue to attempt to inspire potential followers to conduct attacks in the United States, including by exploiting recent events in Afghanistan. As of November 10, 2021, DHS is not aware of an imminent and credible threat to a specific location in the United States. [...] [1] Be prepared for emergency situations and remain aware of circumstances that may place you at risk. [2] Maintain digital media literacy [hyperlink] to recognize and build resilience to false and harmful narratives. [3] Make note of your surroundings and the nearest security personnel. [4] Government agencies will provide details about emerging threats as information is identified. Listen to local authorities and public safety officials."

National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin [August 13, 2021]
From the Summary: "The Secretary of Homeland Security has issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin regarding the current heightened threat environment across the United States. The Homeland continues to face a diverse and challenging threat environment leading up to and following the 20th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks as well religious holidays we assess could serve as a catalyst for acts of targeted violence. These threats include those posed by domestic terrorists, individuals and groups engaged in grievance-based violence, and those inspired or motivated by foreign terrorists and other malign foreign influences. These actors are increasingly exploiting online forums to influence and spread violent extremist narratives and promote violent activity. Such threats are also exacerbated by impacts of the ongoing global pandemic, including grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions."

National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin [January 27, 2021]
From the Summary: "The Acting Secretary of Homeland Security has issued a National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin due to a heightened threat environment across the United States, which DHS believes will persist in the weeks following the successful Presidential Inauguration. Information suggests that some ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence."

National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin [September 14, 2018]
On September 14, 2018, "Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen M. Nielsen reissued the National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin pertaining to the terror threat to the U.S. homeland. After carefully considering the current threat environment, as well as input from the Department's intelligence and law enforcement partners, Secretary Nielsen determined it is necessary to extend the NTAS Bulletin at this time. Terrorist groups continue to inspire, enable and direct their followers to spread chaos using homemade weapons and by striking soft targets and crowded places. They also remain focused on conducting more sophisticated attacks using conventional weapons as well as new technologies and tactics. DHS is committed to staying a step ahead of our enemies, and an informed and vigilant public remains one of the Department's greatest assets in protecting the homeland. This marks the seventh iteration of the Bulletin on the homegrown terrorism threat since the first Bulletin was released in December 2015."

National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin [November 15, 2016]
"Since the last NTAS [National Terrorism Advisory System] Bulletin issued in June 2016, our basic assessment of the global
threat environment has not changed. We remain concerned about homegrown violent
extremists who could strike the homeland with little or no notice. Events since the last
NTAS Bulletin reinforce this. Accordingly, increased public vigilance and awareness
continue to be of utmost importance. This was, for example, a crucial component of
the swift response to the September terrorist acts in New York City and New Jersey."

National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin [June 15, 2016]
From the bulletin summary: "In December, we described a new phase in the global threat environment, which has
implications on the homeland. This basic assessment has not changed. In this
environment, we are particularly concerned about homegrown violent extremists who
could strike with little or no notice. The tragic events of Orlando several days ago
reinforce this. Accordingly, increased public vigilance and awareness continue to be of
utmost importance. This bulletin has a five-month duration and will expire just before
the holiday season. We will reassess the threats of terrorism at that time."

National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin [December 16, 2015]
From the "Summary" section of the document: "We are in a new phase in the global threat environment, which has implications on the homeland. Particularly with the rise in use by terrorist groups of the Internet to inspire and recruit, we concerned about the 'self-radicalized' actor(s) who could strike with little or no notice. Recent attacks and attempted attacks internationally and in the homeland warrant increased security, as well as increased public vigilance and awareness."
