"From calendar year[s] 2010 to 2021, [DHS Intelligence and Analysis] tracked a total of 231 domestic terrorism incidents, with racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists committing the most violent incidents during the time period," the GAO report says.

Since becoming Homeland Security secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas has focused the department's resources on combatting domestic violent extremism, which he calls one of the most persistent and lethal threats in the United States. The GAO said domestic extremist attacks have "been perpetrated and promoted by a broad range of individuals and groups."
