International terror defendants face longer prison terms than domestic counterparts, new study finds

People convicted of crimes related to domestic extremism face far shorter prison terms than those convicted in international terrorism cases, even when the crimes are similar, a new report on the outcomes of hundreds of federal criminal cases has found. The first-of-its-kind analysis, completed by terrorism researchers at the University of Maryland, was provided exclusively to The Associated Press. It comes after federal officials and researchers have repeatedly identified domestic violent extremists such as white supremacists and anti-government groups as the most significant terror threat to the U.S. And it follows scrutiny of the outcomes of Jan. 6 cases, including for some Oath Keepers and Proud Boys who received sentences years lower than what was called for by prosecutors and sentencing guidelines.

A new report from the University of Maryland reveals that people convicted of domestic extremism crimes receive shorter prison terms than those convicted in international terrorism cases, even when the crimes are similar. The analysis of federal criminal cases between 2014 and 2019 found that the disparities are due to factors such as the charges brought by federal prosecutors, existing laws, and sentencing decisions made by judges. The study also highlights the bias within the criminal justice system and the need for equal treatment of domestic and international terrorism cases.
