“The only way to find sustainable solutions is not only to disrupt and deter, but also to address the root causes of violence,” AG Garland says on the Justice Department’s new strategy to fight domestic terrorism.
“To support these efforts, the President’s discretionary budget request for fiscal year 2022 seeks over $100m in additional funds for the Justice Dept. to address the threat of domestic violent extremism and domestic terrorism,” AG Garland says.
"We can promise that we will do everything in our power to prevent such tragedies. And we can further promise that we will never again fail as we did after Tulsa to pursue justice," AG Garland says.
AG Garland announced a new strategy to combat domestic terrorism, including prevention of terrorists from recruiting, siting and mobilizing Americans to violence and to disrupt terrorist activity before it yields violence. on.msnbc.com/35myRPM
