DHS secretary launches 'comprehensive internal review' to root out domestic violent extremism in the department

We believe this all started in earnest after the January 6 storming of the Capitol building. Rep. Steve Cohen, commenting on the National Guard presence that would be protecting Joe Biden’s inauguration, guessed that 75 percent of the Guard, which is mostly white and male, had voted for Donald Trump: “There are probably not more than 25 percent of the people there protecting us that voted for Biden,” he told CNN, meaning …?

In February, the Department of Defense directed commanding officers and supervisors at all levels to conduct a one-day “stand-down” for training on extremism, and we don’t mean left-wing extremism.

“Recent events, including the January 6th attacks on the U.S. Capitol, have highlighted that domestic violent extremism poses the most lethal and persistent terrorism-related threat to our country today,” Mayorkas writes, apparently including a whole summer of rioting across the country under the umbrella of “recent events.”
