A member of the National Guard patrols the grounds of the US Capitol on March 4, 2021, in Washington, DC.
- Lawmakers and staff were advised to stay away from the US Capitol after the FBI and Homeland Security Department warned that violent militia groups and QAnon followers had discussed attacking the legislature on or about March 4. The FBI-Homeland Security bulletin said extremists are still motivated by unfounded Republican claims of widespread voter fraud in the November presidential election won by Democrat Joe Biden.
However, despite all this, the Senate committee’s investigation found that federal resources are still disproportionately allocated to prioritize fighting international terrorism over domestic threats. “Certainly, I’m concerned that their inability to provide this information basically indicates that the FBI and DHS have not been effectively tracking incidents as a result,” Peters said. “If they're not tracking it, they're not prioritizing our counterterrorism resources to effectively tackle this threat.”
The FBI also said that it has provided Congress with “the most comprehensive data we have available on domestic terrorism and will continue to do so,” and explained that “The FBI prioritizes threats based on an analysis of available intelligence and allocates resources accordingly.” Overall, the Senate report shows how the federal agencies that were restructured, or created, to focus on fighting international terrorism in the aftermath of 9/11 have been slow to shift gears, even as the danger presented by domestic terrorism has steadily grown to eclipse that of foreign threats.
