The FBI is currently investigating nearly 850 people across the United States as possible domestic terrorists.
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.
