Report: Homeland Security Ignores Domestic White Terrorism

https://www.politicususa.com/2018/11/01/report-homeland-security-ignores-domestic-white-terrorism.html

Many U.S. law enforcement and security officials now believe that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has its priorities wrong. According to these highly-experienced professionals DHS resources are being wasted on the so-called “threat” posed to our southern border by the caravan of poor refugees making its way north through Mexico from Central America.

Instead, these experts believe, more resources should be deployed to fight the growing threat to our country posed by white nationalism and white supremacist groups. It is these groups of U.S. citizens within our own borders who have grown increasingly violent and have started to threaten more and more Americans in different racial and religious groups.

For example, on Tuesday DHS officials had a conference call to discuss the Central American migrants. There was no discussion about the murder of 11 Jews in Pittsburgh on Saturday.

According to reporting by The Daily Beast:

“Some participants were flummoxed: In the face of the most lethal anti-Semitic terror attack in American history, was DHS really focused, exclusively, on migrants?”


. . .

There are many people who say that anti-terrorism resources should be deployed to fight the white supremacist groups since what they are doing is a form of terrorism. Retired FBI and DHS officials have confirmed that fighting domestic terrorism from white supremacist and white nationalist groups is “the lowest priority” of America’s anti-terrorism task forces.
