Bill > HR4066

This bill requires the Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop a comprehensive threat assessment focused on foreign white supremacist extremist organizations. The assessment must be created in coordination with other federal agencies, including the Department of State and DHS's Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, and will include an overview of symbols and identifiers used by these organizations. The threat assessment will be shared with state, local, and tribal law enforcement officials, particularly those working in fusion centers, and may also be provided to online platforms to help them identify potentially problematic content that might violate their terms of service. The bill specifically defines a "foreign violent white supremacist extremist organization" as a group based outside the United States that seeks to promote white racial superiority through unlawful force or violence. Importantly, the bill includes a critical limitation ensuring that the threat assessment will not include names or identifying information of individuals or organizations engaged in lawful political discourse protected by the U.S. Constitution, thus attempting to safeguard First Amendment rights while addressing potential extremist threats.
