Washington (CNN)They're carrying out sporadic terror attacks on police, have threatened attacks on government buildings and reject government authority.
A new intelligence assessment, circulated by the Department of Homeland Security this month and reviewed by CNN, focuses on the domestic terror threat from right-wing sovereign citizen extremists and comes as the Obama administration holds a White House conference to focus efforts to fight violent extremism.
DHS Secretary: ISIS reaching into U.S. to recruit DHS Secretary: ISIS reaching into U.S. to recruit 03:30 PLAY VIDEO Some federal and local law enforcement groups view the domestic terror threat from sovereign citizen groups as equal to -- and in some cases greater than -- the threat from foreign Islamic terror groups, such as ISIS, that garner more public attention.
The Homeland Security report, produced in coordination with the FBI, counts 24 violent sovereign citizen-related attacks across the U.S. since 2010.
The government says these are extremists who believe that they can ignore laws and that their individual rights are under attack in routine daily instances such as a traffic stop or being required to obey a court order.
They've lashed out against authority in incidents such as one in 2012, in which a father and son were accused of engaging in a shootout with police in Louisiana, in a confrontation that began with an officer pulling them over for a traffic violation. Two officers were killed and several others wounded in the confrontation. The men were sovereign citizen extremists who claimed police had no authority over them.

There’s a tea partier under my bed. HELP! /sarc
Here we go again. The DHS ***holes love the Islamoterrorists and are only out to get Americans who refuse to kiss their Kenyan boy’s arse. Shut the DHS down. Now! Do it for America and “the children”!!!
Here's a tip, DHS. Start looking at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
DHS can’t be defunded soon enough.
If only they had jobs.
It’s worse at our house. There’s one ON the bed.
Of course we all know that any policies or initiatives that the general LIV would be led to believe would be used to combat terrorism,
would be used by this administration against their domestic political enemies.
The domestic right-wing terrorists are following the commands of their pro-Israel Christian leader, Emmanuel Goldstein.

We are just so lucky that the “people” that looted & burned down a town and murdered police weren’t Right Wing Extremist or things could’ve been bad.
They must have seen the NRA sticker on my mobility scooter.
"accused"? Really? DHS hasn't figured out in 3 years if they are guilty? This whole thing was written by 0bama hacks in the basement of the White Hut.
They don’t fear their fellow compatriots. However, as they drive this country further and further into lawlessness, they will continue to see the lawful as their biggest threat.
What about attacks by black left-wing Hands-Up-Don’t-Shooters and their white commie enablers, and their Muslim enablers.
Seems to have been a lot of those in 2014.
Put him up on the screen so we can hurl abuse at him!
We need to be more empathetic and see if maybe they don’t have jobs...
If we get them jobs, they won’t be tarnishing the sovereign citizen movement.
See, you can’t defeat what you don’t understand, so let’s try understanding what makes them so “extreme” before we brand them as “terrorists”, m’kay?
And so-called “sanctuary cities”.
This bullshit was inevitable. Sort of like equating Islam terror with the crusades.
LMAO!
