The House has passed legislation to authorize dedicated offices within U.S. federal government departments to monitor domestic terrorism and hate crimes.

H.R. 350 requires the departments of Homeland Security (DHS) and Justice (DOJ) and the FBI to monitor, analyze, investigate, and prosecute domestic terrorism, including hate crimes such as “white supremacist-related incidents.”
