A new U.S. Department of Homeland Security report obtained by MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show" on Thursday finds that most foreign-born U.S. violent extremists are radicalized "several years after" they enter the country.

"We assess that most foreign-born, U.S.-based violent extremists likely radicalized several years after their entry to the United States ... limiting the ability of screening and vetting officials to prevent their entry because of National Security concerns," read the document, which DHS verified to MSNBC.

The intelligence assessment is titled “Most foreign-born U.S.-based violent extremists radicalized after entering Homeland; opportunities for tailored CVE programs exist,” and is dated March 1, 2017.
