FBI and DHS Warn of Potential Terrorist Threats to LGBTQ+ Pride Events

Federal agencies highlight increased threat environment during June celebrations, urging vigilance and prompt reporting of suspicious activity.

No specific threats identified, but foreign terrorist organizations have a history of targeting LGBTQ+ events.
Authorities emphasize the importance of reporting any suspicious behavior to local law enforcement.
The alert coincides with the eighth anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando.
Past incidents include a foiled attack on a Pride event in Vienna by ISIS sympathizers.
Public is advised to watch for signs such as violent threats, unusual interest in security measures, and attempts to access restricted areas.
