House Democrats demand more transparency from federal law enforcement after the recent disclosure of arrest data.
By Devlin Barrett Devlin Barrett Reporter focusing on national security and law enforcement Email Bio Follow March 15 at 12:18 PM Lawmakers worried about domestic terrorism in the United States want the FBI and the Justice Department to provide a complete accounting of the threat, after recently disclosed data show arrests in such cases now outpace those in international terrorism probes.
The congressman’s request comes amid a growing public debate over whether federal law enforcement is too focused on Islamic terrorism and not paying enough attention to the rise in far right-wing extremism. According to FBI figures shared with The Post, in the 2017 budget year there were about 110 people arrested in the United States after being investigated for actions inspired by foreign terror groups such as the Islamic State and al-Qaeda. Of those, about 30 faced terrorism charges. The rest faced gun, drug, fraud or immigration charges.
