In this July 18, 2022 file photo Avril Haines, Director of National Intelligence, speaks as Secretary of State Antony Blinken visits the Office of Director of National Intelligence in McLean, Va.Domestic extremists are "are often radicalized online and look to conduct attacks with easily accessible weapons," an unclassified version of report done by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence found.
A bulletin from June 2022 and attached to the report says the domestic violent extremist landscape in the United States is "evolving" and centers around "ideological and sociopolitical" grievances which pose a "sustained threat of violence" to the American public.
John Cohen, the former acting undersecretary for intelligence and analysis at DHS said the numbers are part of a "disturbingly high level of violence." Since 2019 however, the government has used five categories to classify domestic extremism, among them anti-government violence and anti-abortion violence."The FBI recognizes a DT incident as an ideologically-driven criminal act, including threats made to or acts of violence against specific victims, in furtherance of a domestic political and/or social goal," the report says.
