Bill overview
The Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2022 aims to strengthen the government’s response to domestic terrorism by establishing dedicated offices within the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the FBI. It mandates the collection and reporting of data on domestic terrorism incidents, including white supremacist and neo-Nazi activity, and requires agencies to review and improve their anti-terrorism training programs. The bill also creates an interagency task force to combat infiltration of uniformed services and law enforcement, and directs the FBI to assign specialized agents to investigate hate crimes linked to domestic terrorism. Finally, it provides resources for community relations efforts in areas affected by hate crimes.
