Homeland Security Disbands Domestic Terror Intelligence Unit

[IM2]

Despite the increasing domestic terrorism, Trump has decided it doesn't matter. Or even worse, he is encouraging it.

The Department of Homeland Security has disbanded a group of intelligence analysts who focused on domestic terrorism, The Daily Beast has learned. Numerous current and former DHS officials say they find the development concerning, as the threat of homegrown terrorism—including white supremacist terrorism—is growing.

In the wake of this move, officials said the number of analytic reports produced by DHS about domestic terrorism, including the threat from white supremacists, has dropped significantly. People in and close to the department said this has generated significant concern at headquarters.

“It’s especially problematic given the growth in right-wing extremism and domestic terrorism we are seeing in the U.S. and abroad,” one former intelligence official told The Daily Beast.

The group in question was a branch of analysts in DHS’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A). They focused on the threat from homegrown violent extremists and domestic terrorists. The analysts there shared information with state and local law enforcement to help them protect their communities from these threats.

Then the Trump administration’s new I&A chief, David Glawe, began reorganizing the office, which is the DHS component that has a place in the Intelligence Community. Over the course of the reorganization, the branch of I&A focused on domestic terrorism got eighty-sixed and its analysts were reassigned to new positions. The change happened last year, and has not been previously reported.

“We’ve noticed I&A has significantly reduced their production on homegrown violent extremism and domestic terrorism while those remain among the most serious terrorism threats to the homeland,” said one DHS official.

“You hear this administration say how domestic terrorism is a clear priority. But you can’t say that and then all of a sudden get rid of the unit that’s there to detect threats. You can’t have it both ways.”

— Former DHS official Nate Snyder

They followed foreign terrorists before 9/11 as well. We have DHS now because they failed.

You must be a far right conspiracy theorist to doubt our intelligence agencies.
Go move to russia

Smaller government is better government. We need another Grace Commission to eliminate some of the duplication and wasted money.

WHY in the heck would Trump do that....??? Gawd almighty, his deep seeded hatred for his own country and citizens, is appalling and nauseating.... The reckless Divider n Chief can not be gone and out of office, soon enough...

 

[TNHarley]

If we keep this program, can all other agencies stop paying attention to domestic terrorism?
I mean, my fucking gawd people. Seriously.

Of course it does.

The rise of rightwing domestic terrorism is politically problematic for Trump and conservatives, they're going to try to ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist .

Who is the "law and order" president? Do you really think that the voters trust the dems on anything security related? Just look at the opioid crisis and the MS-13 infestation (not to mention Chicago) as examples. Trump is way tougher on crime than the dems.

How about a link to examples? Otherwise its total bullshit. Compare your concerns to MS-13 and the opioid crisis and 78,000 dead a year.

Apparently there is no shortage of "intelligence analysts" despite the "daily beast" attempt at instilling fear. There are no less than a dozen federal bureaucracies that deal with "intelligence" including the gigantic CIA which has a secret budget and apparently couldn't determine if a Brit agent was acting on behalf or against U.S. interests.

 

[Billy_Bob]

No shortage of left wing idiots here...

Duplicated duties of at least 5 other agencies. With inter-agency cooperation this is a huge waste of funds and man power. Good to see it go. Now that money can be used on enforcement of our immigration laws and detention of illegals.

We just had one of your nutjobs mailing bombs all over the country and you're like....meh

There is no opioid crisis.

And there you have the reason for the Obama spy center. It isn't to catch terrorists. It is a weapon to use against Republicans. And anyone else Obama doesn't like.
The s o b took what s o b Bush started and turned it against us.

Obama was spying on us and keeping everything we do in our own personal domestic terrorist dossiers. You have one. I have one. They know who you call, when you call, what you buy, and what you sell, and any information you reveal on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and now that our televisions can spy on us too, they have access to what you say in your own living room.
It is unconstitutional at best and is terroristic at it's core. You are it's target, not Obama's JV team, or Afghanistan, or Iran.
Every Move You Make

Here ya go. THIS is what Trump is stopping:

National Counterterrorism Center. The National Counterterrorism Center is yet another component of the DNI that increasingly engages in collecting intelligence. Under its original guidelines, written in 2008, the NCTC was barred from collecting information about ordinary Americans unless the person was a terror suspect or part of an actual investigation. When the NCTC gobbled up huge data sets it had to search for and identify any innocent US person information inadvertently collected, and discard it within 180 days. This crucial check meant that NCTC was dissuaded from collecting large databases filled with information on innocent Americans, because the data had to then be carefully screened. But in 2012, the Obama administration amended the NCTC guidelines to eliminate this check, allowing NCTC to collect and “continually assess” information on innocent Americans for up to five years.
More About Intelligence Agencies (CIA/DNI) Spying

So, Thank you Trump for not letting our government remove our right to privacy, but it will be picked right up with a vengeance as soon as a Demo/Globalist takes control of our country again.
I know that because it is the mechanism the UN will use to make sure you don't buy or sell without their mark. To stop you from buying and selling, they need to know what you buy and sell.
It is End Time prophecy coming to fruition...

Simply defies logic.

No, it doesn't. Trump wants his "fine people" to get away with crimes. He even hinted that he wanted to use bikers in some kind of violent action.

In years to come, history will call them freedom fighters...

Proves my point, domestic pro-Trump terrorists visit this forum as well.
