The FBI currently has 2,700 open investigations of domestic extremism, more than double the usual number of cases, according to counterterrorism officials, underscoring the Biden administration’s accelerated pursuit of what it calls “domestic violent extremists.”
The increase in domestic violent extremism described by the Biden administration is shocking, suggesting that the number of plots and racially-motivated killings attributed to white supremacists has also multiplied. So far, the administration has not presented those sorts of numbers.
The Department of Homeland Security recorded an average of 1,000 investigations into domestic terrorism plots and incidents per year from 2017 through 2019, including approximately 846 arrests of suspected domestic terrorists by the FBI and other agencies, according to a DHS report.
The agencies attributed 57 deaths from 2017 through 2019 to acts of domestic terrorism, of which 47 were racially motivated and primarily carried out by white supremacists, according to the report.
“It goes without saying that the threat from domestic terrorism is heightened and has significantly increased in the last 18 months,” FBI Counterterrorism Division Assistant Director Timothy Langan said in recent testimony before Congress.
In the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, the Biden administration redoubled efforts to counter the threat of “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists” which the DHS describes as a “national threat priority.”
There are also growing concerns, however, that the hunt for domestic extremists has become politically charged and that a once-unthinkable authoritarian trampling of civil liberties in the U.S. is becoming a reality.

The FBI needs to investigate the FBI.
Gee where are all the outraged celebs calling Biden a dictator and hitler??

Disband the FBI and 90% of the crime, which they’ve facilitated or incited, would vanish.
Black Lives Matter is made up of “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.”
They should start there.
+1 Good one.
Same freaks saying “dissent is patriotic” a year ago.
Where are all these terrorist acts by extremist occurring? I would think it would be daily front page stuff but I'm not seeing it.
The Project Veritas raid over a lost diary has taken it up another notch.
FBI = political goon squad
And yet every "racially motivated death" the press and the left choose to elevate to promote their agenda are hoaxes. Why didn't they use one of these "47 racially motivated deaths" alleged by the FBI/DHS?
Killings by white supremacists?
Thay can’t even find be a noose made by a White supremacist. If it here was a killing, we’d hear about it 24/7 from the MSM
If the GOP takes Congress back next year, the first order of business should be to cut the FBI’s budget to zero—and do the same for the CIA, NSA, IRS and BATF.
No, it doesn't "go without saying". They to detail these cases and show that there is some increase. Because I don't buy it.
Hi.
The FBI has morphed into the STASI or KBG.
Change my mind.

FBI head Wray’s testimony before Congress that he knows of no instances of violence by Black Lives Matter supporters speaks volumes about how corrupt the FBI has become.
When BLM mobs were burning, vandalizing and looting in DC in June of 2020 FBI agents actually took a knee to show solidarity with the mobs! Google it. The photos are astounding!
President Trump had to be evacuated by the Secret Service to a safe bunker when BLM mobs were attacking Secret Service agents guarding the White House perimeter fence later that evening. Yet to my knowlege, the FBI did not do a full court press against BLM rioters who attacked the White House like they have done against the Jan 6 rioters.
