Lock your doors: DHS secretary warns that employees are getting 'specific,' 'credible' threats

What's going on? 

After some serious threats, Acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Claire Grady has warned DHS employees not to speak publicly about their jobs and to keep their windows and doors locked.

Yikes. What did she say? 

In a letter on Saturday, Grady told DHS employees: “This assessment is based on specific and credible threats that have been levied against certain DHS employees and a sharp increase in the overall number of general threats against DHS employees.”

Catch me up: 

Outrage over immigration policies at the southern border has spilled over into threats against government employees; protests at officials' homes; and a major leak purporting to share personal information on around 9,000 current and former Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees.

Glenn's take: 

Anger and rage that become violence will only plunge us further into chaos.

"Anybody on either side ... stirring up anger and rage [is] misguided at best," Glenn said on today's show.
