DHS actively recruited Muslim community groups into CVE with multimillion-dollar grants

Evidence

Mahfouz stated, “The funding will be specifically used to sustain existing programming … [including] youth development, nurturing parenting, substance abuse prevention.” But these seemingly benign programs were given greater clarity by the DHS secretary, who released a statement the week before the LAHC announcement, declaring that “in this age of self-radicalization and terrorist-inspired acts of violence, domestic-based efforts to counter violent extremism have become a homeland security imperative… . The funding will go for activities that include intervention, developing resilience, challenging the narrative, and building capacity.” — Khaled A. Beydoun, American Islamophobia_ Understanding…, 403
