Foreign policy is converted into potentially domestic business by secret police networks abroad

Evidence

Divide and conquer is a stated objective of American foreign policy in the Arab world, and with CVE policing, it is an evolving counterterror strategy. This is evidenced by the exploitation of the tense and divided sectarian landscape in the metropolitan Detroit area, the leveraging of ethnocentric and class-based paternalism that drives groups like MPAC to advance CVE policing in places like Los Angeles, and the economic vulnerability of recent immigrant communities like the Somali population in Minneapolis, where, as Asha Noor shares, “CVE and surveillance of the Somali community has created a rift and a sense of mistrust. Individuals who were once friends are no longer on talking terms because of the choices they made: to accept grants that meant framing your community as inherently violent or to not.” — Khaled A. Beydoun, American Islamophobia_ Understanding…, 409 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)
