Amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, conservative figures in the U.S. issued stark warnings about potential domestic terror threats.
Political commentator Laura Loomer urged Americans to avoid public spaces, particularly synagogues, churches, and tourist locations, claiming that “millions of jihadi sleeper cells” were already in the country due to “Democrats' open border policies.”
Her comments were amplified by China analyst Gordon G. Chang, who called on the Trump administration to “indefinitely take off the streets those whose speech and acts are not protected by the First Amendment,” citing national security concerns.
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk similarly cautioned Americans to “stay armed” and vigilant, suggesting sleeper cells could be activated.
Keep your head on a swivel. Biden let millions of people into America. Iran might activate some sleeper cells against Americans. Stay armed.

Law enforcement officials have not confirmed any credible domestic threats, but security has been tightened at major religious and public venues in Washington D.C., New York, and Los Angeles.
