WASHINGTON.
Ehe United States government presented a national strategy to combat domestic terrorism, one of President Joe Biden’s priorities after several racist attacks in recent years and the assault on Congress in January.
The plan, released by the National Security Council, proposes four lines of action with the objectives of prevention, interruption and deterrence, preserving individual freedoms.
First, the Biden administration seeks to improve the sharing of information at the federal and local levels about extremist or militant groups. The Department of Justice and the Federal Police (FBI) have designed a new national system for reporting and recording terrorism-related cases.
In addition, the US government also wants to reduce the recruitment of violent extremists and calls for violence in collaboration with large technology platforms and social networks.
The third objective is to improve the prosecution system for extremists by hiring additional analysts, investigators and prosecutors.
In addition, it will ensure that extremist militants are not recruited into their ranks by the police or army.
Finally, the fourth axis consists of the fight against long-term contributors to terrorism.
Domestic terrorism, fueled by hatred, prejudice, or other forms of extremism, is a stain on America’s soul. It is something that violates the fundamental principles of the nation and poses a direct threat to our security, our democracy and our unity, ”said President Joe Biden, who is touring Europe, in a statement.
With this, Biden advances in one of the promises announced in his inauguration speech, on January 20.
The country will defeat political extremism, white supremacy and internal terrorism, ”he said at the time.
