Documents Reveal Biden’s DHS Board Labeled Trump Supporters, Military, and Religious Groups as Terror Risks

An advisory board of⁣ the Department of ‍Homeland Security (DHS), known as the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group,” was ⁤reported ​by ‍internal documents acquired by America First​ Legal ‍(AFL) ⁣to have‌ characterized supporters of former‌ President Donald ⁢Trump, military members, and religious individuals as potential domestic terrorism risks. The formation of this group⁢ occurred in September. The revelation that an advisory board of the Department of⁣ Homeland Security referred to as ‍the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group” has​ highlighted certain groups, including supporters of former President Donald Trump, military ⁢members, ⁤and religious individuals, as potential domestic terrorism ⁣risks brings up ‌several critical questions and concerns about the criteria used for such ⁣assessments⁣ and the implications regarding civil liberties.

It’s important to analyze the context‍ and reasons why such categorizations were made. Often, intelligence and security entities argue that such assessments are based on patterns and data regarding ⁤recruitment and mobilization​ by⁣ extremist groups.

Accusations of bias or politicization within security assessments ⁢can significantly undercut the trust and credibility of institutions like the DHS.
