President Trump’s budget request to Congress contains the largest counterterrorism spending increase in years — and buried inside it is a new FBI-led center dedicated to “proactively” hunting Americans the government classifies as so-called domestic terrorists.
The new center and funding boost represent the implementation of Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7), the sweeping federal order I’ve been covering since it was signed last September.
Though public opposition to ICE succeeded at forcing the administration to back down in Minnesota — even firing both Kristi Noem and Gregory Bovino — the FBI is doubling down its domestic terrorism obsession.
Now, Trump’s budget request reveals, the FBI runs a dedicated “NSPM-7 Joint Mission Center”; with personnel from 10 federal agencies, it is busy “proactively” identifying domestic terrorists motivated by any of the following beliefs:
- “anti-Americanism,”
- “anti-capitalism,”
- “anti-Christianity,”
- “support for the overthrow of the U.S. Government,”
- “extremism on migration,”
- extremism on “race,”
- extremism on “gender,”
- “Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,”
- Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on “religion,” and
- Hostility towards those who hold traditional views on “morality.”
In other words, if your political views are practically anything other than MAGA, you’re on notice, courtesy of the FBI.
