Top law enforcement officials say the biggest domestic terror threat comes from white supremacists. - https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/12/us/politics/domestic-terror-white-supremacists.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/12/us/politics/domestic-terr...
The Countering Violent Extremism change has not been officially announced, and white supremacy extremist groups are still listed as threats in other counter-terrorism programs. - https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-terror-watch-program/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-terror-watch-program...
Dozens of people listed in TSDB, mostly those flagged in connection with past concerning white supremacist connections, were present in Washington, D.C., during the January 6, 2021 storming of the Capitol building - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorist_Screening_Database https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorist_Screening_Database
Listing three categories of cause groups potentially linked to terrorist activity, Rasner named white supremacist groups, Islamic terrorist groups, and Anarchists - this submission
