Federal law enforcement officials are warning that domestic extremists are likely more emboldened to carry out attacks on President-elect Joe Biden's upcoming inauguration and throughout 2021 after last week's siege on the US Capitol.

The threat is further complicating an already monumental challenge facing law enforcement agencies tasked with securing Washington in the coming days. CNN has learned that federal law enforcement agencies, in a series of bulletins and calls with local partners this week, have issued an urgent call for assistance in securing the nation's capital as the inauguration nears, and painted a dire picture of potential threats leading up to January 20.

On the call, FBI officials said they remain concerned about the prospect of extremists appearing at planned rallies and conducting violence, and that violent domestic extremists continue to pose the most significant threat to Biden's inauguration, according to another source familiar with the call. "The chatter is off the charts right now," one official told CNN on Tuesday regarding extremists talking online about future actions.

cNn = trash

It appears that the republican party has been infiltrated with extremists under trump's leadership, some of the lawmakers in Congress will need vetting for undemocratic beliefs.

Phony impeachment’s tend to do that

Domestic extremists? Don't you mean racists?

When the brain dies, the mouth flies open.

A thousand of those morons failed in an attempt to kidnap a 75yr old woman with zero resistance. The US Military won't break a sweat with these thugs.

This is pre-programming. Do not protest. If there's nothing the Govt could've done, an armed reaction will only spark a crackdown. Nobody was armed at the capital, they dont plan on starting now. Do not be tricked.

White Domestic Terrorist who’s throwing a Tantrum because they cant have their way 🙄

5 bucks it’ll be BLM crying Biden didn’t return their calls.

Seen those loud mouth on the Capital Destroying what’s isn’t their, then saying they have the same Rights 2be in Capital because they r Americans. No! U r Thugs that Don’t have any Respect for others People Rights. U believe u r Inferior But You’re Not. A Rat has MoreRightsThenU.

So nobody’s going to talk about White on White crime ? Lol

Why not call them domestic TERRORISTS instead of 'EXTREMISTS'

These people have been lied to time after time by people who know better. Trump must be impeached but those people who supported those lies about election fraud including those from Fox ought to have action taken against them. Trump wasn't the only one who promoted violence.
