For the first time since it was formed after the 9/11 attacks, the Department of Homeland Security is adding white supremacist violence to its list of priority threats in a revised counterterrorism strategy issued Friday.
"The continuing menace of racially based violent extremism, particularly white supremacist extremism, is an abhorrent affront to our nation, the struggle and unity of its diverse population, and the core values of both our society and our department," said Kevin McAleenan, the acting Homeland secretary, in a speech at the Brookings Institute in Washington.
DHS is stepping up its focus on what McAleenan called "targeted violence," in which an attacker selects the target in advance, driven by hate. Racism and anti-Semitism have fueled recent attacks on African-American churches, synagogues, and public places in California and Texas, he said.
The shooting at the Walmart in El Paso hit DHS particularly hard. Six of the victims were family members of DHS employees.
"The majority of our El Paso team, working to protect our nation, uphold the rule of law, and care for vulnerable migrants arriving at our border is Hispanic," he said.
While protecting the nation from foreign-inspired or directed terror attacks remains a core Homeland Security mission, McAleenan said recent mass shootings have "galvanized the Department of Homeland Security to expand its counterterrorism mission focus beyond terrorists operating aboard, to include those radicalized to violence within our borders by violent extremists of any ideology."
The revised strategy said DHS would seek to better analyze the nature and extent of the domestic terror threat and share information with local law enforcement to help prevent attacks. The government will also do more to discourage technology companies from hosting websites that spread radical hate.
DHS will also encourage counter-messaging campaigns "seeking to steer individuals away from messages of violence,"

How about Gang members???
Where are these ‘White Supremacists’?
Are they White?
“The majority of our El Paso team, working to protect our nation, uphold the rule of law, and care for vulnerable migrants arriving at our border is Hispanic”
Because of affirmative action programs for the descendants of the Spanish Conquistadors and the Leftist idea that it would be shocking to have White Anglo-Saxon Protestants - the Americans - actually arresting Los Pobrecitos as they attempt to invade the land we paid them for after beating their butts in 1848.
McAleenan just declared war on the Americans. Trump shoulda removed him months ago.
PS - it ain’t the BP’s job to “care for vulnerable meegrants”. It’s not a welfare agency. Invasion is not a civil right.
those radicalized to violence within our borders by violent extremists of any ideology.”...
Does that include islam? Or La Raza/ The reconquista?
What about leftist supremacy like Antifa? Unreal
In the minds of liberals. Whatever they imagine we must accept as fact.
The Left will tell you, every one who voted for Trump. Heck, they've even had to expand the definition of white supremacy to include organizations such as the Proud Boys who allow minority members.
Yes, all that polar bear hunting and “knockout game” shows a clear and present danger from whites towards colored people (if “people of color” is acceptable, so is “colored people”).
Not to mention the interracial violent crime rates (including rape)-almost completely skewed to black on white/other.
The leftists are gonna push a little too far one of these days...
Kevin McAleenan should be replaced. Immediately.
to protect our nation, uphold the rule of law,
Is contradictory with this:
care for vulnerable migrants arriving at our border
The white supremacists who attacked Jussie Smollett were black (as are so many white supremacist hoaxers).
So click on this link, then scroll to "The Racist History of the Democratic Party".
Note to DHS: Start there so you know where to look for white supremacists.
No. m*zzy supremacy is the biggest threat.
