The FBI alerts police nationwide that an anti-government group called the Guardians of the Free Republics urged governors to resign or be removed. While no direct threats were found, officials fear the broad demand could incite violence. Governors across states received letters. Nevada heightened security at the Capitol and Michigan and Louisiana confirmed receipt.

New US security checks target profiles not nationalities
The Homeland Security Department announced a refined terror screening policy that targets specific threat profiles rather than nationalities. It expands screening beyond watch-list matches and aims to close gaps highlighted by the Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab incident, while reducing unnecessary delays for travelers from the 14 affected states.
