As the city outlines plans for weekend safety, there is a jarring alert from federal law enforcement about a wide array of summertime security threats.
There are the conventional and continuing foreign terror concerns, but federal law enforcement is also worried about politically driven extremists as the 2024 election cycle is on the horizon.That strong potential for violence by political extremists or attackers, according to the feds, can be motivated by racial or gender hatred.
Expect a convergence of specialty units; the nation's counterterror hardware and personnel attempting to choke off throngs of violent domestic terror groups that experts say will see Chicago as a target. "They outline six incidents within the last six months, ranging from the Allen Texas shooter to Nashville to the Maryland plot attack on newsy, with police officers, based on their pattern, I think they're pointing out that we're seeing a rise on these racially and ethnically motivated, violent extremist and that's why they want to bring it to the public attention so they can prepare," said ABC7 law enforcement expert Ed Farrell.
"They just don't have the resources to deal with the increase in crime and the complexity of crime they're starting to see across the city. I would encourage them to reach out to their federal, local and state partners, garner resources and deal with the event much more effectively," said Farrell.
