“At this time there is no specific, credible threat against the homeland. The department issued this bulletin to inform, share protective measures, and reassure the American public, state and local governments, and private sector partners that the Department of Homeland Security is actively monitoring and preparing for any specific, credible threat, should one arise” said Acting Secretary Wolf. “The Department is operating with an enhanced posture and various operational components are taking protective measures where prudent and necessary. We have been in constant communication with Congress and interagency partners. The American people should feel assured the entire Department is working for them to keep them safe.”

In a separate statement, Gov. Ralph DLG Torres said:
“My administration and I continue to receive updates from the White House and the Department of Homeland Security on the situation in the Middle East. While DHS has indicated that there are no specific, credible threats against the U.S., the CNMI government will continue to monitor any and all threats to the United States homeland and here in the Marianas in collaboration with our federal partners. The safety and security of every American and residents who call the Marianas home are primary priorities, and we will continue to join the rest of the nation in assessing potential threats to our islands and our homeland.”
