The National Institute of Justice’s 2024 study, “What NIJ Research Tells Us About Domestic Terrorism,” reveals a significant increase in militant, nationalistic, violent extremism within the United States. The research indicates far-right attacks consistently surpass all other forms of terrorism and domestic violent extremism. Specifically, since 1990, far-right extremists have committed substantially more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist groups. This study likely faced removal due to its findings, as they conflict with the political narrative attempting to shift blame for political violence.

The study’s removal occurred after Kirk’s death on September 10, 2025, during a speaking event.

Despite a previous FBI crackdown, the neo-Nazi terrorist organization, The Base, is expanding its activities in the US and planning a national paramilitary training event.

The Base’s activities extend internationally, including operations in Ukraine, highlighting a significant resurgence and a willingness to openly defy authorities. Experts warn that even a small training event signifies a concerning escalation in the group’s operational capabilities and public defiance. The FBI’s response focuses on criminal activity rather than group membership, leaving The Base relatively unchecked in its expansion.

This follows a pattern of resource redirection away from far-right threat mitigation across various agencies. Critics fear this prioritizes politically advantageous threats while downplaying the persistent danger of far-right extremism, both domestically and internationally.
