political, legal, and cultural obstacles lie aheadPresident Joe Biden ordered several intelligence agencies to review domestic terrorism in the US in the wake of the January 6 Capitol siege, however, his plans face a number of obstacles.
On Friday, the Biden administration announced that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, and the Department of Homeland Security will work together to create a domestic terrorism threat assessment that could be used to determine policy, the Associated Press reported.
"The Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol and the tragic deaths and destruction that occurred underscored what we all know: The rise of domestic violent extremism is a serious and growing national security threat," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said.
However, experts have said that Biden could face legal, political, and cultural obstacles. The Washington Post reported that even before the January attack, the FBI had warned about rising domestic terror threats, but critics have accused the agency of being "more primed" to focus on international threats over those at home since the 9/11 attacks.

Great to have a president whose head isn't stuck in the KFC bucket.

that the FBI is going all out to identify and arrest insurrectionists makes me feel like the Post/Yahoo is turning out fake news.
