MAYORKAS: “We are working at a time when we are seeing only an increase in hate, or I should say, perhaps, only an increase in the hate that is rising to the surface. And what we in the Department of Homeland Security have assessed is that the greatest terrorism-related threat that we face in the homeland is a threat of domestic violent extremism. (Applause) Individuals drawn to violence because of ideologies of hate or false narratives, propagated on social media and other online platforms, and the most prominent threat is the threat of white supremacists. And that came quite clearly to the surface when we saw, over the past several months, repeated and persistent bomb threats against historically black colleges and universities.“
