Description
The number of reported threat and harassment incidents against local officials held steady from April to May, following a spike at the start of the year. BDI’s Threats and Harassment Dataset (THD) captured nearly 30 events for the month, bringing the total number of incidents recorded so far in 2025 to more than 200. In addition to community-specific disputes, national issues like immigration policy and LGBTQ+ rights were key drivers of threats and harassment in May.
