GOP state top cops seek FBI ‘game plan’ against ‘antisemitic domestic terrorism’
Republican attorneys general from 27 states are joining forces with the FBI and the Department of Justice to combat antisemitic domestic terrorism. In a letter obtained by Fox News Digital, the AGs are requesting assistance in addressing the rise of antisemitic attacks in the United States.
Led by South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, the letter expresses concern over the increase in antisemitism following the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel on October 7, 2023. The AGs highlight recent incidents, including the tragic shooting of two Israeli Embassy staff members in Washington, D.C., and the horrifying attack on protesters in Boulder, Colorado, by an illegal immigrant from Egypt.
The letter commends the FBI and the DOJ for their efforts in investigating these incidents and acknowledges the creation of the Joint Task Force October 7 to address antisemitism. The AGs are seeking to establish a partnership between federal law enforcement and state and local agencies to combat domestic terrorism effectively.
President Donald Trump’s executive order to combat anti-Semitism vigorously is referenced in the letter as a crucial step in addressing hate-inspired criminal activity. The AGs believe that increased cooperation between federal and state law enforcement agencies is essential in preventing future acts of violence.
The AGs emphasize the importance of sharing intelligence and investigative tools to stop domestic terrorism in its tracks. They are calling for a meeting with FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi to discuss a potential partnership and develop a game plan to root out antisemitic domestic terrorism.
In conclusion, the letter underscores the urgency of addressing the growing wave of antisemitic attacks and the need for a collaborative effort between federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. The AGs are committed to working together to ensure that those responsible for committing these egregious acts are held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
