Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
This bill sets up special offices in the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the FBI to track, investigate, and prosecute domestic terrorism. It requires these offices to focus on the biggest threats and to include staff who protect civil rights and civil liberties, with yearly anti-bias training for all employees. These offices would end 10 years after the bill becomes law . Every six months, for 10 years, the agencies must release public reports that explain the current threat, especially from White supremacist and neo-Nazi groups, and provide numbers on investigations, arrests, prosecutions, and more, with as much unclassified detail as possible . The bill says nothing in it allows the government to violate First Amendment rights .
The bill also boosts training for federal, state, local, and Tribal law enforcement on how to spot and stop domestic terrorism, and requires public reporting on that training. It creates a task force to find and address White supremacist and neo-Nazi infiltration in the military and federal law enforcement, with a public report on what they find. The Justice Department’s Community Relations Service may help communities where federal hate crime charges tied to domestic terrorism are brought, and the FBI must assign a hate crimes liaison or special agent in each field office. Funding is authorized as needed to carry out these steps .
