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,"

Big....HUGE!
This jackwad should be fired asap and DHS, the nazi sounding domestic spying agency formed by boosh dissolved.
Well, if it wasn’t for hate hoaxes, there would hardly be any white-perpetrated racial crime at all. The left has keep the fires stoked some way, since whites won’t oblige, for the very largest part.
I am so glad Homeland Security is focusing on this.
I hope they have figured out that all the “black” thugs terrorizing all of our major cities are white supremacists in blackface!
It will happen when the left creates a national problem that affects the whole country...It is getting very close at the southern border, but President Trump is working hard at preventing that, to his credit...
So far, most all the violent encounters have been localized...
Then we’re talking, almost, Civil War the II?
........... What about “Black Supremacists” .... Like “Black Nation of Islam,” “Black Hebrew Israelites,” and “Black Lives Matter?”

Yep...That’s it in a nutshell...I doubt it will be as massive, but it will be small skirmishes all over the country...
When did they list Antifa?
How about Islam?
The Hispanic Racists use the insults to invade our country.
“Where are these ‘White Supremacists’?”
We are. Our government is under the control of hostile actors that want to destroy Western civilization and make us slave. They are at war with white people wherever they are.
‘racial supremacy’ perhaps, but ‘white supremacy’ is singling out one race which is racial discrimination.
The absolute pure BS incompetence of the Trump Administration has been the lack of filling the Administration itself with those loyal to Trump and not some swamp scum continuing the third term of Obama.
The only thing keeping the white liberal idiots alive are the conservative baby boomers who won’t relinquish our 2bd amendment rights. As soon as we’re gone, the white liberal idiots will soon be exterminated by the majority non-whites in this country.
Great, we have those also. How about CAIR ?
Baloney! White violence on minorities is a small fraction of minority violence on whites. The country is so PC now they do not collect statistics on this direction of crime because most know the direction those numbers would take.
As the olde saying goes: “The more things change, the more they stay the same”...
