The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI have issued warnings about a potentially dangerous environment surrounding the upcoming elections. Reports highlight a range of threats including domestic extremists motivated by election-related grievances, with a rising risk of violence in the weeks leading up to the elections. The DHS further cautions about the continued exploitation of border vulnerabilities by migrants with terrorism ties. Additionally, foreign interference is anticipated, particularly from Russia, Iran, and China, who are expected to deploy AI-driven disinformation campaigns aimed at U.S. voters. The threat assessment indicates that extremists may target election workers and the voting process itself, creating an overall heightened threat environment. The situation is compounded by ongoing geopolitical tensions, including the Israel-Hamas conflict, which adds to the volatility surrounding the election period.
