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.
Read the DHS document:
Left deep state Gestasi/KGB/DOJ. Quelle surprise !
There’s a related vid on YT, a poorly produced vid of a billboard in Wisconsin showing Biden-Harris under the words “Dumb and Dumber”.
Yeah, with no practical method whatsoever to enforce this, it is a tool to select political opponents and “remove” them from the general affairs of the nation.
There is no way this is Constitutional and probably will be challenged.
Departmental “rules and guidelines” do not create law nor do they identify lawbreakers.
They create innuendo and accusations, the lifeblood of the prog.
.
Abolish DHS and repeal the Patriot Act. Both are monstrosities, and fly in the face of a free people.
Seeing how this administration came to power thru VOTER FRAUD, I don’t think any of the edicts they pass have any bearing. There is no rule of law, period. Let’s go Brandon!
They don’t only hate President Trump, they hate US.
“Anyone remember exactly when the US Government became an enemy of the American people? It must have happened slowly.
But I think the transition was marked by the Patriot Act.”
Will wonders never cease! We actually agree on something.
“You’re gonna need a bigger boat.”
err, “boot”
And to think some people used to believe that the government was there to protect our freedoms, like freedom of speech.
Maybe it is time! read my tag line
“The Wilson administration was the turn.”
The Wilson Administration set the stage, but FDR got the ball rolling in earnest. The creation of DHS and the passage of the Patriot Act carried the ball across the goal line.
I am questioning the 2020 election, and don’t think Joe Biden has run the COVID programs very intelligently.
Abolish DHS. Otherwise the Uniparty is invicible.
If Bin Laden could laugh in Hell...
Das boot?
The State demands unquestioning obedience. Anything less, and you’re a terrorist.
Boot on the face
(but I know what Billthedrill was referring)
There it is in plain & simple language...
The communist are telling us (their serfs) that we better shut up or else...
But wait... Since Reagan’s and Khrushchev’s warnings, we have heard the cries of: “It can’t happen here!” over & over again...
Even here on FR those cries were, to a substantial amount, were repeated...
A brilliant & patriotic Freeper once warned, in a omniscient posting titled “Something Evil this Way Comes”, that, unless fought & stopped, tyranny was in the nation’s future...
Well, something evil came, balkanized the nation, stayed, and, so far, is winning hands down in imposing a dark, long-lasting tyranny on the country...
However, it appears that more than half of the citizenry is ok with it...
They know it when they see it. That’s all you rubes need to worry about. /s
