The FBI currently has 2,700 open investigations of domestic extremism, more than double the usual number of cases, according to counterterrorism officials, underscoring the Biden administration’s accelerated pursuit of what it calls “domestic violent extremists.”
The increase in domestic violent extremism described by the Biden administration is shocking, suggesting that the number of plots and racially-motivated killings attributed to white supremacists has also multiplied. So far, the administration has not presented those sorts of numbers.
The Department of Homeland Security recorded an average of 1,000 investigations into domestic terrorism plots and incidents per year from 2017 through 2019, including approximately 846 arrests of suspected domestic terrorists by the FBI and other agencies, according to a DHS report.
The agencies attributed 57 deaths from 2017 through 2019 to acts of domestic terrorism, of which 47 were racially motivated and primarily carried out by white supremacists, according to the report.
“It goes without saying that the threat from domestic terrorism is heightened and has significantly increased in the last 18 months,” FBI Counterterrorism Division Assistant Director Timothy Langan said in recent testimony before Congress.
In the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, the Biden administration redoubled efforts to counter the threat of “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists” which the DHS describes as a “national threat priority.”
There are also growing concerns, however, that the hunt for domestic extremists has become politically charged and that a once-unthinkable authoritarian trampling of civil liberties in the U.S. is becoming a reality.

Well, no, actually, the Obama administration spent eight years weaponizing the Federal gov. That’s why we HAVE Biden.
People don’t want to hear it, but the FBI always was a political secret police. It can’t be reformed just like the Stasi couldn’t be reformed. It needs to be dismantled and distribute its former budget to each of the 50 State Police forces.
How long will it take them to morph into a full blown, well financed Tonton Macoute.. If you don't tell the government lie just right they may pay you a visit...
At this time, I think it's Obama that has control of Biden.. Who or what is motivating Obama, I've have no clue...
“Who or what is motivating Obama”
My bet is billionaire George Soros. He has said before the only country standing in the way of a global government is the United States.
I’ll bet Osama Obama is the president of the US deep state.
Impossible you say... I just read an article somewhere that now 30% of the kids 16 and under (?) identify as LGBTQ.. We have allowed them to nearly completely destroyed an entire generation...
Down at the schoolhouse, shop is no longer available.. From what I've read recently it's sex education and lots of it..! Including positions, lap and pole dancing, etc.. These are the new courses being taught to the kids...
It was bound to happen. They are now coming for us.
No no no ... it’s only white people that are a danger to this Republic ... except for the white people employed by the government.
“Where are all these terrorist acts by extremist occurring?”
Well, undercover FBI agents are probably doing their best to provoke them right now, so just give it time...
