Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier Launches Online Portal to Report Politically Motivated Threats

secure website enables residents to upload screenshots, videos or other evidence of threats

ORLANDO, FLORIDA — Florida officials unveiled a new online reporting system Monday aimed at helping citizens flag politically motivated violence before it escalates.

Attorney General James Uthmeier, joined by Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas at Valencia College, announced the debut of the Combat Violent Extremism Portal.

The secure website enables residents to upload screenshots, videos, or other evidence of threats. Submissions may be made anonymously, and all reports will be reviewed by prosecutors within the Office of Statewide Prosecution.

“This is about protecting Floridians from politically driven violence,” Uthmeier said. “The idea of someone being assassinated for peacefully opposing radical ideas is vile and anti-American. Threats of political violence will not be tolerated in Florida.”

Statewide Prosecutor Brad McVay emphasized that reports would be taken seriously. “Any individual who makes a threat that violates Florida law will be dealt with immediately. Our office will work closely with law enforcement to hold offenders accountable,” he said.

Kamoutsas pointed to the importance of accountability within schools, warning that educators who promote or encourage violence will face investigation. “We owe it to students to ensure they are led by professionals who uphold the highest standards,” he said.

The initiative comes amid mounting concern over rising politically motivated incidents across the country. Federal statistics show a sharp increase in assaults against federal immigration officers, while recent high-profile attacks — including the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk — have underscored the risks posed by extremist threats.

Officials said the new portal is designed as a preventive measure, giving Floridians a direct line to prosecutors before violence occurs. Emergency threats, however, should still be reported to 911.

The portal is now live and can be accessed at myfloridalegal.com/CVE.
