(U//FOUO) Ongoing Violence, Information Narratives Nationwide Poses Continued
Threat to Law Enforcement
(U//FOUO) Scope.
This Intelligence Note (IN) provides information regarding violence threatening homeland security
at protests related to recent officer-involved deaths and highlights the concern for potential additional violence from
domestic terrorist actors and other ideologically motivated individuals who seek to violently respond. The information
in this IN is current as of 30 May 2020.
(U//FOUO) In the last 24 hours the types of people or groups seeking to carry out violence in response to the death of
George Floyd in Minneapolis has shifted in many cities. The initial violent looters and protestors were believed to be
organic members of the local communities. However, domestic violent extremists are attempting to structure the
protests to target specific symbols of state, local, and federal authority. We anticipate armed individuals will continue to
infiltrate the protest movement. We assess with high confidence during the period of darkness from 30 to 31 May the
violent protest movements will grow and DVEs and others will seek to take over government facilities and attack law
enforcement. We further assess protest activities following incidents involving law enforcement’s use of lethal force
pose a high risk of escalating to both premeditated and random attacks targeting law enforcement officers nationwide.
Since 2017, domestic violent extremists (DVEs) have conducted reprisal attacks against law enforcement officers
following incidents of officer-involved shootings, which could inspire others to attempt similar acts. DVEs who subscribe
to opposing ideologies have also conducted lethal attacks against one another at public protests, suggesting that DVEs
could seek to exploit otherwise lawful protesting of law enforcement’s use of lethal force to advance their movement’s
goals.
» (U//FOUO) As of 30 May, reporting has indicated several incidents of violence at otherwise lawful protests
that have targeted law enforcement and critical infrastructure. A Federal Protective Service contract officer in
Oakland, California has been killed as a result of this violence, according to official reporting.
1
» (U) On 7 July 2016, a black supremacist extremist acting in response to officer-involved shootings ambushed
law enforcement officers, killing five, during a planned non-violent First Amendment-protected rally in Dallas,
Texas. Police engaged and killed the attacker during a stand-off following the ambush.
2
» (U//FOUO) On 12 August 2017, a white supremacist extremist drove a vehicle into a crowd of counter-
protestors at Charlottesville, Virginia rally, killing one, according to a Department of Justice press release.
3
Other white supremacist extremists allegedly engaged in less than lethal violence against counter protestors
at this and other rallies in 2017, according to the criminal complaint.
4
» (U//FOUO) Separately, on 27 May, users of a white supremacist extremist Telegram channel attempted to
incite followers to engage in violence and start the “boogaloo”—a term used by some violent extremists to
refer to the start of a second Civil War—by shooting in a crowd, according to DHS reporting.
5
(U//FOUO) As of publication of this IN, DHS is also aware of cyber actors’ use of disruptive tactics against at least
one public-facing government website, which we assess, is tied to recent events in Minnesota. It is common for
politically or ideologically-motivated criminal hackers—as well as other opportunistic cyber actors—to engage in
short-term disruptions against government and symbolic targets in the midst or aftermath of a major event. We

expect to see more of these types of cyber operations against federal, state, and local government networks,
which frequently use common tactics and known vulnerabilities to target these networks.
» (U) Unidentified cyber actors on 29 May 2020 conducted a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack
against the governmental network of Minnesota state. The attack caused a temporary disruption in services
on its public-facing website for just over an hour and is currently under active investigation to determine its
attribution. It was confirmed that during this attack, no data was compromised and there was minimal impact
to operations, according to CISA and DHS reporting.
6
(U//FOUO) Foreign adversaries, such as Russia and China, have used state-controlled media to discuss recent
events in Minnesota and the subsequent response, including First Amendment protected protest activity. Beyond
overt efforts to depict these events—depictions that paint the US government or the socio-political cohesion of the
Unites States in a negative light— we assess covert proxies and social media accounts are doing the same.
Russian influence actors, in particular, have a history of using online tools to covertly amplify content concerning
protest activity in the United States, including rhetoric that may seek to incite violence at such events.
a
» (U//FOUO) As of 2018, Russian influence actors allegedly planned to attempt to incite unrest and violence in
the United States by targeting the African American community using its social media trolls to spread false
and incendiary stories. Russian influence actors also planned to recruit radical movement members to
participate in civil disobedience actions, according to 2019 press reporting.

(U//FOUO) Domestic Terrorism Definitions
(U//FOUO) DHS defines
domestic terrorism
as any act of unlawful violence that is dangerous to human life or
potentially destructive of critical infrastructure or key resources committed by a group or individual based and
operating entirely within the United States or its territories without direction or inspiration from a foreign terrorist
group. This act is a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any state or other subdivision of the
United States and appears to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, to influence the policy of a
government by intimidation or coercion, or to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction,
assassination, or kidnapping. A domestic terrorist differs from a homegrown violent extremist in that the former is
not inspired by and does not take direction from a foreign terrorist group or other foreign power.
(U//FOUO) DHS defines
white supremacist extremists
as groups or individuals who facilitate or engage in acts of
unlawful violence directed at the federal government, ethnic minorities, or Jewish persons in support of their belief
that Caucasians are intellectually and morally superior to other races and their perception that the government is
controlled by Jewish persons.
(U//FOUO) DHS defines
black supremacist extremists
as groups or individuals who facilitate or engage in acts of
unlawful violence as a means to oppose racial integration and/or to eliminate non-black people and Jewish people.
(U) Report Suspicious Activity
(U) To report suspicious activity, law enforcement, Fire-EMS, private security personnel, and emergency managers
should follow established protocols; all other personnel should call 911 or contact local law enforcement.
Suspicious
activity reports (SARs) will be forwarded to the appropriate fusion center and FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force for further
action. For more information on the Nationwide SAR Initiative, visit http://nsi.ncirc.gov/resources.aspx.

(U//FOUO) US persons linking, citing, quoting, or voicing the same arguments raised by these influence activities likely are engaging in First Amendment-
protected activity, unless they are acting in concert with a threat actor. Furthermore, variants of the topics covered in this product, even those that include
divisive terms, should not be assumed to reflect foreign influence or malign activity absent information specifically attributing the content to malign
foreign actors. This information should be considered in the context of all applicable legal and policy authorities to use open source information while
