Attorney General Garland and Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas to tout anti-domestic terror efforts
Attorney General Merrick Garland and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas will tout the Biden administration’s approach to fighting domestic terrorism at a hearing Wednesday in front of a Congress still debating the cause of the January 6 US Capitol riot.
“In our country, espousing an extremist ideology is not a crime nor is expressing hateful views or associating with hateful groups,” Garland told the Senate Appropriations Committee. “But when someone tries to promote or impose an ideology through acts of violence, those acts can be the most dangerous crimes we confront as a society.”
