A Virginia office of the FBI is apparently concerned that racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists are seeking alliances with radical-traditionalist Catholics, according to a leaked memo dated Jan. 23.
A whistleblower on Wednesday revealed that the FBI’s Richmond field office was bundling Traditional Catholics into an anomalous group known as Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists (RMVEs).
The FBI has rescinded a report classifying "radical-traditionalist Catholic ideology" as a national security threat based on claims from the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center after a former FBI agent voiced concerns about the FBI's reliance on partisan sources.
