Referred to the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence.

Homeland Security would share details on foreign white supremacist threats with police and online companies.

This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to create a detailed report on threats from foreign violent white supremacist extremist groups. This report would then be shared with state, local, and Tribal police, as well as online companies that ask for it. The goal is to help these groups identify and counter such threats while protecting lawful speech.

What Would Change

Today, the Department of Homeland Security isn't required to create and share a specific terrorism threat report about foreign violent white supremacist extremist groups with state, local, and Tribal police or online companies. If this bill becomes law, DHS would have to develop such a report and share it with these groups, while also protecting lawful speech.

Key Provisions
