"A new Justice Department memo from Attorney General Pam Bondi instructs the FBI to create a "cash reward system" to incentivize providing information against domestic terrorists. However, it also makes it clear that the targets of such domestic terrorist investigations will be "Antifa-aligned extremists," including those promoting "radical gender ideology.""
"Bondi's memo cites multiple laws that might be used to target domestic terrorism, but also lays out a clear vision for the priorities of the FBI in targeting suspected terrorists. Primary examples given are not the mass shootings and white supremacist actions that have plagued the nation; rather, the document names the "doxing of law enforcement" or the "violent efforts to shut down immigration enforcement.""
"While it raises the specter of extreme viewpoints, they are not the ones that previous studies have linked most domestic terrorism to. Bondi's memo suggests that the perpetrators are "certain Antifa-aligned extremists" and that their "animating principle is adherence to the types of extreme viewpoints on immigration, radical gender ideology, and anti-American sentiment.""
Attorney General Pam Bondi instructed the FBI to establish a cash reward system for information that leads to identification and arrest of leaders of domestic terrorist organizations. The December 5 memo emphasizes prioritizing certain Antifa-aligned extremists and characterizes their animating principles as opposition to immigration, adherence to radical gender ideology, and anti-American sentiment. The memo cites multiple statutes that could be used to prosecute domestic terrorism and prioritizes actions such as doxing law enforcement and violent efforts to disrupt immigration enforcement. The memo's priorities align with a September executive order from President Trump.
