Critics say U.S. failing by not putting any White supremacist groups on State Dept. s foreign terrorist organizations list.
SHOW TRANSCRIPT
In a major escalation in the war on extremism, Canada declared the Proud Boys a terror group this month. The terror designation means members can face prosecution and have assets frozen. It is no longer about speech, said Bill Blair, Canada s Minister of Public Safety. It s about violence and it s about extremism and it s about terror.
