DHS chief warns of "emerging threat of the domestic violent extremist"
Axios ^ | 11 Sep 22 | staff

Posted on 09/12/2022 2:58:20 PM PDT by Alas Babylon!

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told MSNBC on Sunday the "threat landscape" has evolved in the 21 years since the 9/11 attacks from concerns about foreign terrorists to domestic extremists.

What he's saying: "Back when 9/11 occurred, in those years we were very focused on the foreign terrorist, the individual who sought to do a severe harm to enter the United States and do us harm," Mayorkas said in his interview with MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart.

"It's then evolved, we began to be more and more concerned about the individuals already resident in the United States radicalized by a foreign terrorist ideology," Mayorkas continued. "Now we are seeing are seeing an emerging threat ... over the last several years of the domestic violent extremist," he added. "The individual here in the United States radicalized to violence by a foreign terrorist ideology, but also an ideology of hate, anti-government sentiment, false narratives propagated on online platforms, even personal grievances."

Better buckle up because it’s going to get more shrill and extreme every day.

The only threats to America are gubmit agencies headed by Dimbulbcrats. Does Homeland Security mean anything when our borders are as open as the Vice President’s favors?

If you’re not a Democrat, then the Democrats hate you and want you in jail.

I’m at about the point now to be seriously thinking about Rand Paul—who wants to get rid of the Patriot Act, the Espionage Act, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, and the FISA court, to name a few, for President.

EVEN over Trump.

Understand, I like Trump, but it all these unconstitutional laws that the Deep State is using to get rid of Trump.

Perhaps Paul can be Trump’s VP candidate, and they run on Paul’s platform against the Deep State?

DHS should never have been created to begin with.

Using the Patriot Act against political opponents. That’s the RAT way.

Meanwhile millions walk across the border and the same amount of Americans dies every week from the drugs carried over by illegal invaders.

In a world full of Mayorkas’, be a Kyle. That’s how you deal with “non-federally recognized” terrorist groups.

And then you not only let it happen but aided and abetting ACTUAL DOMESTIC TERRORISM in the summer of love of 2020.

You can’t even bring yourself to say the words “AntiFa”

The entire department should be shut down as it’s worthless

It’s brilliant. BLM and Antifa are the terrorists, we know it, they know it, fbi knows it but the libs blame the conservative. As Trump said, they want us gone, he is getting in the way .

I never thought the patriot act was a good idea. I was more in the nuke ‘em till they glow and then not worry about ‘em camp.

Personal grievances! Oh no! What’s next? Disrespectful snickering?

...false narratives propagated on online platforms

To coin a phrase, "Some people said something".
