The Department of Justice appears to have deleted a study which documented the frequency of far-right violence in the U.S. from its website.
The removal was first reported by 404 Media. There is an archived listing of the study available online, but it no longer appears to be hosted on the Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs page, where it was previously. A spokesperson for the Department of Justice declined to comment on this article.
Why It Matters
The reported removal comes after the assassination of Turning Point USA founder and conservative activist, Charlie Kirk. Kirk, 31, was fatally shot during a speech at Utah Valley University on September 10 during his "American Comeback Tour."
The murder and subsequent reaction from individuals across the political spectrum and media sphere have sparked a conversation about political rhetoric and free speech.
