Ask Congress to pass HR350: Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2022

[Novara]

This bill establishes new requirements to expand the availability of information on domestic terrorism, as well as the relationship between domestic terrorism and hate crimes.

It authorizes domestic terrorism components within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to monitor, analyze, investigate, and prosecute domestic terrorism.

The domestic terrorism components of DHS, DOJ, and the FBI must jointly report on domestic terrorism, including white-supremacist-related incidents or attempted incidents.

DHS, DOJ, and the FBI must review the anti-terrorism training and resource programs of their agencies that are provided to federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies. Additionally, DOJ must make training on prosecuting domestic terrorism available to its prosecutors and to assistant U.S. attorneys.

It creates an interagency task force to analyze and combat white supremacist and neo-Nazi infiltration of the uniformed services and federal law enforcement agencies.

Finally, it directs the FBI to assign a special agent or hate crimes liaison to each field office to investigate hate crimes incidents with a nexus to domestic terrorism.

Here's how to contact your Senators.

Here's how to find your representative in the House.

I'd love to see this voted on. Get the republicans on the record voting it down. Great ads for the Dems for the midterms.

1. Great idea, but too symbolic

This has a decently high chance of getting overturned by SCOTUS as they would look at it as legislating thought. Now a days white supremacist are capable of working with people of other races unbeknownst to said other races. The supremacists now has the ability to hide in shadows. But that is how I look at it.

2. Please show where it legislates thought

It specifically mentions incidents, attempted incidents and hate crimes. Those are actions.




You don't think it's worth getting on the record republicans who refuse to do something about domestic terrorism? In an election year?

Boy, I sure do.
