Overview

• Heritage Foundation and the Oversight Project urge the FBI to recognize Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism (TIVE) as a distinct domestic-terrorism category.
• An Oversight Project brief argues a TIVE designation would unlock additional FBI tools, including undercover operations and expanded database searches.
• Civil-rights organizations including HRC, GLAAD, and the SPLC held an emergency briefing warning that the push stigmatizes a targeted community and risks broad surveillance abuses.
• GLAAD reports an uptick in anti-trans threats and violence, citing death threats, assaults, and bullets left outside a Missouri LGBT+ center engraved with “DIE F***S.”
• The Daily Wire reports low-level DOJ discussions about a possible gun ban for transgender-identifying people, and an earlier law-enforcement claim about engraved bullets at the Charlie Kirk scene was later refuted.
