Law enforcement "taking no chances" on September 18 rally at U.S. Capitol
CBSN
Federal, state and local law enforcement remain on high alert ahead of Saturday's "Justice for J6" protest outside of the U.S. Capitol.
Although intelligence suggests there will not be widespread or significant violence, federal law enforcement officials and groups that track domestic extremism told CBS News they remain concerned about the potential for "lone wolf"-style violence or individual "knuckleheads" using the gathering to cause trouble.
The FBI is monitoring chatter picked up on social media sites and message boards, including Telegram, Parler and Gab.
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
