The FBI is currently investigating nearly 850 people across the United States as possible domestic terrorists, including many white supremacists and anti-government Americans, and U.S. authorities are seeing “a tide change” in social media companies trying to stop the spread of hate, the head of the FBI's counterterrorism division told lawmakers Wednesday.
McGarrity emphasized that"domestic terrorism" -- often rooted in racially-motivated extremism, anti-government extremism or environmental extremism -- is different than"homegrown" terrorism, which is inspired by international terrorist groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda. The number of current domestic terrorism investigations is actually down from six months ago, McGarrity said. In September 2017, FBI Director Chris Wray testified that -- at that time -- the FBI was conducting about 1,000 domestic terrorism investigations.
SaRaAshcraft What about all of the domestic terrorists in congress who keep calling people 'antisemetic' to justify the government stealing your tax dollars to pay for Isreals genocide program. These monsters have no place in a civilized society.
Good... find them, arrest them, imprison them...
Good. Time to clear the terrorist recruiting centers out of Minnesota and Michigan.

Hopefully they have all Senate and house democrats and republicans in their sights... Give us a break from all this BS that is in Congress and the media... Get to work on DACA and IMMIGRATION .... 😬😬😬

If we’re going with the historical demographics for domestic terrorism in the US I hope they have “right wing white male” at the top of the list.

Domestic terrorists are people too! Let them vote!!!
Would you say they are ‘spying’ on people?
Did Trump make the list? He was removed from the Forbes 500 list of the richest Americans. Can't imagine why.
My neighbors are terrorists... I'm betting they aren't being investigated. Brandon Glover (Uber breacher) is also a terrorist. The FBI needs to get it right.
According to Republicans that's called 'spying'.
