While there has been heightened awareness about the rise of white supremacist violence, especially in the wake of the deadly attack at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, the FBI said there are no credible threats to Super Bowl LV.
"We're constantly looking at threats that happen around the country," Michael McPherson, chief of the Tampa FBI office, said, per Curt Anderson of the Associated Press. "There are no credible threats to the Super Bowl, or any related activity, at this moment."
Anderson noted the FBI has arrested "several" people in the Tampa area who allegedly participated in the attack at the Capitol.
