Durbin Reintroduces Legislation to Combat Rising Domestic Terrorist Threat

Press Release

"We must recognize that threats to our homeland are increasingly coming from across the street instead of across the ocean. As I have said on many occasions, I condemn all violence, regardless of ideology. But we need to be abundantly clear that violent white supremacists and violent militia extremists are the most significant domestic terrorism threat facing the United States today. As we watch one community after another torn apart by sickening acts of violence, the members of this Senate have to go beyond thoughts and prayers. If members are willing to take the most basic step to save lives, I urge them to support my Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act. This threat must be confronted with the full force of the federal government."
