The 2020 DHS threat assessment named white supremacists the top domestic threat

Evidence

In 2020 the Department of Homeland Security issued its annual Homeland Threat Assessment. Officials warned that “Among Domestic Violent Extremists (DVEs), racially and ethnically motivated violent extremists—specifically white supremacist extremists (WSEs)—will remain the most persistent and lethal threat in the Homeland.” Although white supremacist extremists and white Christian nationalists are not identical, there is some overlap and, like the Ku Klux Klan and similar groups, white supremacist extremists easily co-opt Christian symbols and ideas for violent purposes. — Philip S.
