Despite border crisis, DHS chief sets sights on combatting domestic extremism

There may be a raging humanitarian crisis at the southern United States border, but Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas wants you to know his department is taking serious claims of "domestic violent extremism."
Despite facing the largest influx of migrants in two decades that is overwhelming and quickly depleting American immigration resources, Mayorkas made it clear Monday that his department is serious about combatting domestic threats.
In a statement, Mayorkas cited the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.
"Recent events, including the January 6th attacks on the U.S. Capitol, have highlighted that domestic violent extremism poses the most lethal and persistent terrorism-related threat to our country today," Mayorkas said.
"Addressing this threat is an urgent priority of the Biden-Harris Administration and of this Department," he continued. "We will continue to work with our partners to immediately address it."
According to Mayorkas, the problem is serious enough that DHS brass will conduct an internal investigation to weed out all threats of domestic extremism that may exist within the DHS.
"As we work to safeguard the Nation and our values, we must be vigilant in our efforts to identify and combat domestic violent extremism within both the broader community and our own organization," Mayorkas said. "Violent extremism has no place at DHS and we will work with urgency and focus to address it.
"Given the evolving threat landscape and the grave risks posed by domestic violent extremism, including to our employees and operations, I have directed the Department to immediately begin a review of how to best prevent, detect, and respond to domestic violent extremism threats within DHS," he added.
What about the border crisis?
Despite the Biden administration's unwillingness to call the border crisis a "crisis" — in fact, Mayorkas has blamed the Trump administration for the growing migrant problem — a Customs and Border Protection intelligence alert reportedly identified Biden's policies as one of the culprits behind the ongoing crisis.
According to Yahoo News, CBP dispatched an intelligence cable on April 16 saying the crisis is "largely attributable to perceptions of U.S. immigration policy changes," disputing the Biden administration's repeated assertions that problems in the Northern Triangle region of Central America are to blame.
From Yahoo News:
The CBP document obtained by Yahoo News suggests some level of disagreement within the government about what exactly is causing the increase. CBP says that "large group apprehensions," referring to more than 100 migrants, continue to increase at the southern border, and says the surge is "largely attributable to perceptions of U.S. immigration policy changes, economic opportunities, elevated violence and reduced COVID-19 travel restrictions."
Indeed, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador agrees that Biden's policies, or at least the perception of his immigration agenda, is behind the surge.

It amazes me the cognitive dissonance required to keep referring to the Capital breach for the example when the summer before saw 47 people die and BILLIONS of dollars in destruction was done.

Most right-wing "extremists " can be found eating at Golden Corral and Cracker Barrel with their kids and grandkids after church. Those folks are a menace, I tell ya.

All they are trying to do is purge the government from any dissent. Then, they will try to purge us.

You apparently didn't get the memo. There are still Trump supporters walking the streets in America. They are the greatest threat to civilization the world has ever seen.

If repubs get control of senate and/or house in 22 they better go after this kind of garbage hard. But I'm sure they won't

This is one of those things that they will say they've been battling and fighting without anything to show for it.
