Report: DHS Group Called Being ‘Religious’ An ‘Indicator’ Of Domestic Terrorism
SUMMARY
In recent revelations, documents obtained by America First Legal allege that the Department of Homeland Security under President Biden discussed infiltrating communities to monitor Americans, citing religious affiliation, military service, and Trump support as potential indicators of extremism. The Homeland Intelligence Experts Group, including figures like John Brennan and James Clapper, suggested expanding surveillance tactics. While the group acknowledged political implications, DHS disbanded it in response to legal challenges. Concurrently, the FBI has broadened its definition of domestic terrorism to include political dissent, drawing criticism for targeting groups like MAGA supporters and conservative Catholics based on ideological beliefs.
