The Department of Homeland Security has released new guidelines on “extremist” behavior, which include questioning the 2020 presidential election or promoting “conspiracy theories” about the COVID pandemic and mandates.
The memo, titled Report to the Secretary of Homeland Security Domestic Violent Extremism Internal Review: Observations, Findings, and Recommendations claims the “sociopolitical developments” of the 2020 election and the COVID pandemic could “spur domestic violent extremists” to “engage in violence.”

A March 2021 unclassified threat assessment prepared by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), Department of Justice, and DHS, noted that domestic violent extremists “who are motivated by a range of ideologies and galvanized by recent political and societal events in the United States pose an elevated threat to the Homeland in 2021.”
The assessment pointed to newer “sociopolitical developments such as narratives of fraud in the recent general election, the emboldening impact of the violent breach of the U.S. Capitol, conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and conspiracy theories promoting violence” that “will almost certainly spur some [domestic violent extremists] [sic] to try to engage in violence this year.”
Notably, over half of the U.S. population question or doubt the results of the 2020 presidential election.
The guidance also calls for more funding for the DHS’ “Insider Threat Program” to identify and purge any DHS employees who “may be displaying early indicators of extremist behavior or may be radicalizing to violence.”
“Additional funding is necessary to resource these efforts, as this will greatly enhance the Department’s ability to identify and address violent extremist activity and protect from insider threats,” the memo states.
Interestingly, the memo acknowledges the DHS struggles to define exactly what “extremist behavior” actually means.
“Further, other gaps that limited our ability to collect and validate data included…guidance as to what constitutes violent extremist activity, or an established list of behaviors that may be indicators of violent extremism.”
Meanwhile, the DHS openly breaks the law by opening up the U.S. border and allowing millions of unvetted illegal aliens to stream in to America since Joe Biden took office.
Because the DHS neglects its basic duties of border security, the U.S. also made record-low deportations over the last year — the lowest since 1995.

While debating when it happened please keep in mind TWA800, Ruby Ridge, WACO, Oklahoma City just to name a few
OMG!
We’ve got a lot of deep state wolves in GOP clothing, too.
Difference is armed people won’t just get in to the boxcars
My Freezer is GUILTY!
Like probably 98%. Margie Taylor Green is the only Congress[ to use the term loosely] person that I am aware of that is not.
Where does that huckleberry quotw come from? I remember Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday in Tombstone saying it.
Outlawing criticism of the 2020 election is proof of crime and guilt. Guilty people always try to fix the situation they are blamed for.
Unfortunate but true. Where have all the good guys gone?
I listened to my in-law Democrat relatives question the 2000 election and referred to Bush as selected not elected for 20 years. They still do it.
Ping
How about the Democrats that question the 2000 presidential election?
Do we even have a SCOTUS anymore?
We do.
But Deep State controls it.
And they want us to get all jazzed up about Putin’s invasion...
Is this a trick question?
At this point the only people worth listening to have been banned and canceled.
It is the best indicator of someone willing to speak truth to power.
This cannot be true!
DC is too far gone. We can never hope to change things. If you can’t change it secede from it.
Gonna have to jail lots of rats in two years.
