(U//LES) Local protestors have also been seen utilizing handheld radios to communicate. (U//LES) Reporting nationally indicates individuals are using traditional social media platforms and encrypted messaging applications (YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Telegram, Topbuzz.com, Snapchat, Wickr) to discuss potential acts of violence. The use of information in social media postings included doxing of law enforcement officials, false reports of violence to incite violence, and rumors about false activities. Multiple field offices have observed individuals using social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to organize First Amendment related activity such as peaceful protests as well as criminal activity such as looting and vandalism. (U//LES) FBI social media exploitation indicates trending hashtags for the past 24 hours focus heavily on protests and issues around the unrest (#BlackLivesmatter, #GeorgeFloyd, #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd, #BLM, #protests2020, #AmericaorTrump, #ICantBreathe, #Curfew, #Protest, #NoJustisceNoPeace, #VoteOutHate).

(U) Known criminal group associations or memberships. (U//FOUO) The FBI—in close coordination with its federal, state, and local partners—continues to monitor and respond to events related to the nationwide civil unrest. There are reports, to include open source reports and social media postings, suggesting the individuals involved in or present at locations of unrest are part of anti-government/anti-authority extremism, militia extremism, racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism, or violent gangs. Yet, much of the violence and vandalism is perpetrated by opportunistic, individual actors acting without specific direction. We continue to aggressively to seek to corroborate whether or not there is in fact an organized effort to incite violence by either known criminal groups or domestic violent extremists. There is uncorroborated intelligence about alleged participation of Venezuelan and Nicaraguan socialist groups. (U//LES) Detroit assesses any attempts by law enforcement to arrest individuals open carrying during protests or attempts to seize weapons could result in an increased presence by Anti-Government/AntiAuthority (AAGA) militia activists.
