As bipartisan criticism intensifies over U.S. attacks on alleged "drug boats" in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, the White House is defending a September 2 operation that killed 11 people. The Washington Post reports Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a second attack to kill two survivors of an initial strike, an order that legal experts say would constitute a war crime. The White House on Monday confirmed the second strike but said the authorization came not from Hegseth, but from Admiral Frank "Mitch" Bradley, then head of Joint Special Operations Command.

WASHINGTON - On August 13, 2021 the Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas, issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin regarding the heightened threat environment across the United States. The threat environment to the Homeland is diverse and challenging, especially leading up to and following the 20th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks as well as religious holidays that could serve as catalyst for targeted violence.

"DHS remains committed to sharing timely information with the public about the heightened threat environment in order to protect?communities across?our?country,"?.??"Today's NTAS Bulletin advises?the public about the?heightened?threat landscape we face?and how?DHS?is working with our partners, at every level of government and in the community, to?combat?domestic terrorism and targeted violence in all its forms. ?We are committed to ensuring every initiative undertaken by DHS?in response to the threat?is consistent with privacy protections, civil rights and civil liberties, First Amendment-protected rights, and other applicable?laws."?
