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.

They’re just preparing the ground.
Remember, IF “violent extremism” is not islam,
then it must be someone else...
What is amazing it the restraint shown by Americans,
toward muslims over the last 14 years. Eventually
that restraint will be worn away, and then our own
government will persecute it’s own citizens as
“violent extremists”, and call on muslims to turn
in anyone who they say threatens them.
Never thought I see this as the demise of our way of
life, always thought it would be communists. Of course
it still is, but they are just using an indirect approach.
What on earth is a sovereign citizen? They can’t say “American citizen”?
This after Obama hosts an imam at the WH who said “as Muslims we are above the laws of this land”.
But noooooooo, combat vets who vote Republican & own guns are far, far more dangerous than all the Omars & Achmeds out there.
Geez.......
The compartmentalized bureaucrats believe as told by Obama and will take up arms against anyone. That is the goal of this propaganda. Militarize the bureaucrats. Oxymorons never turn out well.
Amen to that!
There they aren’t!!
Not so sure about that.
The further Left, and in complete violation of the Constitution, the Democrat Socialists get... The more of a threat pissed off Patriots SHOULD become.
The Founders would have cleaned house long before this.
Oh.. wait...
Any agency that uses input from Southern Poverty Law Center has no merit. This is a bonafide hate group, and using it as a positive reference to support a point of view only shows the evil in one’s agenda.
Damn, that's almost 5 a year! It's an epidemic!
For later.
you know darn well every one of us are on that list LOL
And I like how the SPLC pulls numbers out of thin air. No references to where they came up with 300,000 and no one questions it.
Kinda makes you wonder how that stacks up against the FSA and the dindu’s...
Or is it Racist for me to even contemplate that?
Let me guess we’re going to get ourselves a repeat of what was done/tried in 2010 with the attempted bombing in NYC..
The dems and their allies in the MSM will start ratcheting up the story the ultra violent right wing extremist TEA Party are a bunch of Tim McVeigh wannabes and surprise surprise there will be a fertilizer car bomb which they will try to blame on the TEA Party because it was a fertilizer bomb like McVeigh used.
If they fail to pin the bombing on the TEA Party they will then claim the terrorist are so in tune with the news they were able to pick up on the dems talking points comparing the TEA Party to McVeigh and “spontaneously” planned a fertilizer car bomb to match the dems talking points.
No matter how it comes down the dems will be covered.
Yes, you should be terrified because as we all know it’s those evil TEA Partiers, Christians and Conservatives that chop off the heads of innocent men, women, children, Moose Limbs and liberal turds. /sarc
When you are to the left of Joe Stalin, everyone else looks like a right wing extremist.
makes perfect sense.
when muslim agents are being appointed to top positions, the ‘extremists’ are those that would stand in their way
