One day after President Donald Trump urged his supporters to engage in voter intimidation during the general election and called on the violent white supremacist group Proud Boys to “stand by” rather than “stand down,” The Nation reported that the FBI is preparing for a “violent extremist threat” posed by a far-right, anti-government militia whose members have advocated for a “race war.” Identifying the loosely-organized group known as the “Boogaloos” as the specific threat, the FBI’s Dallas field office prepared an intelligence report on Tuesday—the day of the first presidential debate—titling the document, “Boogaloo Adherents Likely Increasing Anti-Government Violent Rhetoric and Activities, Increasing Domestic Violent Extremist Threat in the FBI Dallas Area of Responsibility.” Known for wearing Hawaiian shirts and military fatigues and carrying weapons to rallies, “Boogaloos” reportedly intend to bring about a second American Civil War, which some adherents believe will be a “race war.”
