Introduction
The United States (US), like many other nations across the world, grapples with the
growing challenge of domestic terrorism or homegrown extremism. In a recent report published by
the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), there have been over 230 incidences of domestic
terrorism in the past one decade (DHS, 2023). About 35% of these incidences (which represents
the highest category) were categorized as either ethnically or racially motivated. One example of
such an attack was the Jully 2016 Dallas attack in which an individual murdered five police officers.
A more recent case was the May 2022 attack where another racially motivated individual shot
dead 10 innocent civilians in Buffalo, New York. Other types of domestic terror attacks or violent
extremism are primarily inspired/motivated by anti-government or anti-authority sediments. One
such incident was the devastating Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, which claimed the lives of 168
civilian citizens (including 19 children) and injured hundreds of others. Another more recent
example is the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol, when a violent mob of protestors
stormed the complex seeking to disrupt the certification of the 2020 presidential election results.
These incidences highlight the significant challenge of the threat of domestic terrorism or
homegrown extremism. The DHS acknowledges that although efforts are being made to counter
the menacing problem of homegrown extremism, the US will never be completely impervious to
these threats (
CITE). Precisely, the evolving nature of extremism, the ease of propagation of
propagandist ideas and sentiments via online platforms and the internet, and the complex social,
economic, and political factors that contribute to radicalization make it challenging to eradicate the
problem entirely.
