NEW YORK — Law enforcement agencies around the country are actively monitoring online threats and rhetoric that has emerged in the wake of the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate Monday, sources tell ABC News.
Agencies are also preparing for possible acts of violence they fear could occur at or near pro-Trump demonstrations that some supporters are calling for, law enforcement sources said.
"Over the last several months, law enforcement officials across the nation have become increasingly concerned about calls for violence against law enforcement and other government officials by violent extremists," said John Cohen, a former Department of Homeland Security official who is now an ABC News contributor."The search warrant at Mar-a-Lago has only served to increase those calls, adding to law enforcement concerns.
The ISD reported that one Trump supporter was"calling on fellow veterans and Americans of all walks to join him" in Washington"to protest the out-of-control FBI and its actions against President Trump," while a post by another supporter implored followers to"Protest FBI tyranny." "We now face a situation where public officials and members of the media are mimicking the language used by violent extremists, and this has served to add more volatility to the situation," he said.
