Wednesday night aimed at addressing the growing threat of white supremacist and other domestic extremist groups following the mass shooting in Buffalo, N.Y., 11 of whom are Black, at a supermarket in Buffalo. An 18-year-old white man is in custody.
The measure, introduced by Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., would direct those offices to submit a joint report twice a year detailing their findings on domestic terrorism threats. The partisan vote in the House, however, suggests a steep climb in the Senate. Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois was the only House Republican to vote in favor of the bill.
Rep. Chip Roy, who opposed the legislation, argued it could enable the Justice Department to “target” parents who dissent at school board meetings.
