CISA’s alert highlights persistent threats to energy sector vulnerabilities…monitor potential ransomware tactics.
Border friction near Tijuana may presage further migrant–police confrontations.
8. Preparedness Action Items
Responder safety – Fire, EMS, and medics should plan for ambush scenarios. Don’t rush in. Stage at a distance, keep comms open, and wait for the all-clear.
Heat safety – Stay indoors during peak heat. Drink water. Watch out for the elderly and those working outside.
Cyber checks – IT teams should patch all known threats in the KEV list. Use two-factor login and separate critical systems.
Situational awareness – If you see fires in strange places or people hanging around emergency scenes, report it.
Analyst Insight
Encrypted chats found in Portland show ongoing, organized anti-ICE activity with signs of long-term planning. Abroad, conflict is escalating again…from Russian-backed North Korean fighters in Ukraine to jihadist attacks in Mali. Infrastructure at home remains steady, but the threats are layered. Civil unrest is scattered but coordinated. The posture remains quiet, but we’re not in the clear.
