The risk of foreign and domestic terrorism in 2024 was assessed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The DHS released the 2024 Homeland Threat Assessment (HTA), which found that foreign and domestic terrorism posed a high risk for 2024.
The DHS expects the threat of violence from individuals radicalized in the United States to remain high, but largely unchanged, mainly seen through lone offenders or small group attacks that occur with little warning. According to the DHS, while sustained counterterrorism pressure has significantly degraded the ability of foreign terrorist organizations to target U.S. interests, foreign terrorist groups like al-Qa’ida and ISIS are seeking to rebuild overseas.
