American Jewish leaders, shaken by last week’s insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and its antisemitic underpinnings, told the Secretary-designate of the Department of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, that he should create a new liaison to the Jewish community focused on domestic terrorism.
In a Friday call that was scheduled before Wednesday’s unprecedented assault on the Capitol, Mayorkas, who is Jewish, signaled that combating domestic terrorism would be a priority amid an surge of white supremacy and neo-Nazi activity, participants said in interviews on Sunday. It was part of a series of calls with Jewish leaders planned by the Biden transition team.
