Daily Beast -The Department of Homeland Security has disbanded a group of
intelligence analysts who focused on domestic terrorism, The Daily Beast
has learned. Numerous current and former DHS officials say they find
the development concerning, as the threat of homegrown
terrorism—including white supremacist terrorism—is growing.
In
the wake of this move, officials said the number of analytic reports
produced by DHS about domestic terrorism, including the threat from
white supremacists, has dropped significantly. People in and close to
the department said this has generated significant concern at
headquarters.“It’s especially problematic given the growth in
right-wing extremism and domestic terrorism we are seeing in the U.S.
and abroad,” one former intelligence official told The Daily Beast.
