NEW: Biden Justice Department Weighing Domestic Terrorism Law to Target ‘White Supremacists’
US Attorney General Merrick Garland
The Biden Justice Department is “actively considering” whether to give prosecutors new authorities to bring specific charges against “domestic terrorists.”
“One of the things we’re looking at is would we need new authorities,” Brad Wiegmann, deputy assistant attorney general for the department’s national security division, said Thursday.
Because the current laws on the books to bring charges for arson, violations of weapons or explosives laws isn’t enough.
The reality is the DOJ is looking to make new laws to persecute people with whom they politically disagree.
The Justice Department did not mention BLM terrorists or Antifa terrorists; they are focused on so-called “white supremacists” – which is just code for Trump supporters/conservatives.
