The deadly assault inside an El Paso, Texas, Walmart on Saturday and a spate of other attacks deemed"domestic terrorism" by U.S. authorities have renewed questions over the threat itself and whether the U.S. government is currently equipped to stop it.
Is the domestic terrorism threat growing?"Domestic terrorism notably is on the rise," McGarrity told the House Homeland Security Committee in May."[And] the threat of domestic terrorism exists in every region of the United States and affects all walks of life." "There have been more arrests and deaths in the United States caused by domestic terrorists than international terrorists in recent years," he said."Racially-motivated violent extremists are responsible for the majority of lethal attacks and fatalities perpetrated by domestic terrorists since 2000."
Are hate crimes on the rise?It's not clear. The FBI has seen a surge in reports of hate crimes from local law enforcement agencies, but with as many as 1,000 new agencies now sending data to the FBI, the FBI can't say whether there is a real uptick in hate crimes or just an uptick in data they're receiving.
Accordingly, 80 percent of the FBI's counterterrorism agents in the field are assigned to work on international terrorism cases, while 20 percent work on domestic terrorism. Would the FBI and Justice Department like more powers to investigate domestic terrorism, including a 'domestic terrorism statute'?Yes, depending.
