Soledad im soledad obrien. Welcome to matter of fact. Today were going indepth on this weeks two big stories. The future of puerto rico now that the governor has been forced to resign. And the growing threat of White Supremacy in america. We begin there. Just last month, fbi director chris wray warned about the rise of domestic terrorism related arrests. He said a majority of the cases are motivated by some version of what you might call quote white supremacist violence. Last weeks massacre in el paso is now being investigated as a domestic terror attack. George selim is the former director of homeland securitys office of Community Partnerships which used to administer grants to organizations working to counter violent extremism. He has served under president George W Bush and president todae antidefamation league. So, how long has the u. S. Been really tracking these White Nationalist groups .
