Officials Warn: Trump Administration Emboldens White Supremacists
A new State Department style guide bans the term “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism” (REMVE), raising concerns about the administration’s commitment to combating the far-right threat. Simultaneously, significant budget cuts are eliminating offices and personnel focused on countering violent extremism, including those specializing in white supremacist terrorism. 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.
