Democrats have renewed their push to provide the Department of Justice (DOJ), FBI, and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) an influx of domestic counterterrorism resources, with Republicans pushing back at a heated March 16 House Judiciary Committee meeting.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) touted the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2021 at the March 16 meeting, saying that the act is essential to combat white supremacy.
“The Department of Justice has an array of statutory authorities to bring charges against domestic terrorists, including those who are white supremacists, but it is abundantly clear that the Department has not initiated a sufficient number of these prosecutions,” Nadler said. “This legislation would give DOJ the tools it needs to monitor, identify, and prosecute domestic terrorism cases, along with the data it needs to focus on the greatest threats.”
