White supremacists pose the biggest terror threat to the United States, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Friday amid a surge of illegal border crossings.
The Department of Homeland Security has assessed that"the greatest terrorism-related threat that we face in the homeland is the threat of domestic violent extremism," Mayorkas said.
Mayorkas made the remarks during a speech at Al Sharpton's National Action Network conference in New York City. The secretary pointed to the"repeated and persistent bomb threats" against Historically Black Colleges and Universities in recent months as an example of the threats and talked of his recent work with Black universities and churches to improve security.
