general, could do some big steps. leadership after these look. i worked on these guys all my anti-semitic attacks. life. i just want to play that. i ve arrested the nazis and the clan planting bombs at jewish i m not quite sure what the temples. commanded cases where guys were mayor s talking about. and i think he s being less than going to shoot up jewish schools honest. and kill people. infiltrated the things with our the fact is that anti-semitism in new york, in his city that he agents. we fought them for years. has been the mayor for quite a they could throw atf back in the fight real heavy. few years, is unprecedented. that would really help. they could give the fbi what the numbers are beyond anything they need to do it. we ve ever seen in history since they could even enlist special they started keeping records. agents at homeland security and wheth the secret service more and engage them in the fight as when will the mayor wake up in terms of the needs that he is units and n
the ground in pensacola following it all, jacqui, fbi was very clear that they don t want to jump to any conclusions, they don t want to point any fingers unnecessarily, they did not answer questions about whether the shooter mohamed was maybe self-radicalized part of a larger terror group or even if ideology was a factor here but they did say they re operating under the presumption that this was act of terror because that allows additional resources to identify and eliminate any other potential threats to the community and they say they ve determined that this time that there are no additional threats, so that is the information that they gave, they said that they re looking at whether ideology was a factor, the jttf and we know that he purchased glock 45 that he used in this attack, we also learned more
we re talking tonight about a phenomenon none that is no longer a rarity in in country but a defining characteristic of this country something touching nearly every community in red states and blue states and big cities and small towns. james galliano, james ramsey and phil mudd. the fact that the fbi is talking about this as domestic terrorism in el paso, does that change the way the investigation is handled? great question. there s two ways of looking at this, jttf. joint terrorism task force. then the civil rights division will look at this concurrently as a hate crime. now, fbi director wray has recently testified. we have about 5,000 open fbi terrorism cases. 4,000 are international
assets at fbi headquarters currently on standby as they await any requests that may come in for the state. as you can see behind me right now, although night has fallen here in el paso this remains a very active investigation. a number of police personnel here on scene going through this massive crime scene, again, to recreate what happened. to gather evidence. in order to paint a picture of the gruesome act we just heard the sound of just a short time ago, alex. james, we ve been talking tonight about hate crime, domestic terrorism. we do know from the governor of texas they are going to be looking into prosecuting this as a hate crime. but what is the significance of this now that the fbi is opening this domestic terror investigation? sure, let s unpack this for the viewers. first of all, if it s a domestic terrorism case the fbi investigates an international terrorism and domestic terrorism. it would be worked by the joint terrorism task force, the jttf. however, if officials ar
of the most rare he st of rare s items. a mass shooting means four or more killed or injured by gunfire. the person that drafted this manifesto is now going to be prosecuted. the fbi will take this from two different angles. so the domestic terror front, they have jttf assigned to work this. and since this is labeled out now in the press and i heard chief allen yesterday in el paso say this, at a hate crime, the fbi civil rights division will also be working this. we just want the person to go away for life or if possible and i think off obviously now that it happened in texas, the death penalty will be on the table. but that manifesto will be critical for the prosecution to show state of mind and what the motivation or causality was behind his heinous action. texas governor greg abbott also calling it a hate crime
