The 128-page report is the culmination of the three-year investigation into the rise in domestic terrorism and the federal government’s response. At the same time, the report accuses federal law enforcement agencies of failing to systematically track and report data on domestic terrorism, despite a requirement to do so under federal law. “The FBI assesses that our top domestic terrorism threats are Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremism and Anti-Government or Anti-Authority Violent Extremism. But even under President Biden, who ordered a 100-day review of the federal government's efforts to address domestic terrorism upon entering the White House and, in June, released the first-ever National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism, federal agencies still have not managed to reallocate resources accordingly. “FBI and DHS must do a better job of monitoring domestic extremism on social media, while respecting civil liberties and constitutional rights,” Peters told reporters.

Growing domestic extremism has been linked to the country's widening political divide and a rise in distrust of institutions. The FBI emailed a statement to the AP defending its handling of domestic terrorism in response to the report. The agency has provided comprehensive reports to Congress on the threat of domestic extremism motivated by racism or antigovernment views and tracks it carefully, the agency said. Both agencies have previously defended their work to combat domestic terrorism, as FBI Director Christopher Wray did last year when he told Congress that violent extremists pose a mounting threat. Efforts by federal law enforcement to use social media to track domestic extremism have prompted questions about civil liberties and the targeting of communities of color.

A new Senate report is criticizing the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security for not doing enough to track domestic extremists.

In September, Israel acknowledged for the first time that Israeli fire probably killed Abu Akleh. Human rights groups have long accused the Israeli military of failing to properly investigate wrongdoing by its own troops and seldom holding forces accountable. Abu Akleh was shot while reporting on an Israeli military raid in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank, long a flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Dueling legal briefs unsealed Monday lay bare a continuing dispute over the status of thousands of records taken during an Aug. 8 FBI search of Mar-a-Lago. The disagreement is playing out before a veteran Brooklyn judge, Raymond Dearie, who was appointed to conduct his own review of the seized records and to resolve disputes between the two sides over claims of executive privilege and attorney-client privilege. “President Trump was still serving his term in office when the documents at issue were packed, transported, and delivered to his residence in Palm Beach, Florida,” the Trump team wrote. The Justice Department, for its part, accused the Trump team of "gamesmanship" and said that Trump was not entitled to claim as personal records documents that were clearly presidential. The FBI seized roughly 13,000 documents during its search of Mar-a-Lago, including about 100 with classification markings.

The Justice Department and lawyers for Donald Trump are at odds over whether the former president can assert executive privilege over documents seized from his Florida estate to shield them from investigators and over whether he can treat the records as his own personal belongings.

Israel's Defense Minister says the United States government has started an investigation into the fatal shooting of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.

WASHINGTON — (AP) — Federal agents believe a recent spate of threats and false reports of shooters at high schools and colleges across the U.S. may be coming from outside of the country, an FBI official said Monday. So far, officials have identified calls to about 250 colleges, 100 high schools and several junior high schools since early June falsely reporting explosive devices being planted at the schools or saying that a shooting was imminent. The official said investigators have been running traces on the numbers and internet addresses, which led them to believe the calls may be generated overseas. The update comes as academic institutions across the nation have faced a surge of threats, including many targeting historically Black colleges and universities. In those incidents, which happened in January and February, more than 50 institutions received threats that contained racial slurs, the official said.
