The Trump administration has initiated significant funding cuts to various counter-terrorism research projects, causing concern among experts regarding future public safety against violent extremism. Key initiatives, including the National Institute of Justice's studies on radicalization, the Department of Defense's Minerva program, and vital datasets tracking hate crimes by the University of Maryland, have been defunded. This shift contradicts Trump's promises to combat domestic terrorism, leaving the academic and national security communities alarmed at the abrupt cessation of critical research efforts needed to inform law enforcement strategies.
Years of progress, years of partnerships, years of producing actionable knowledge to make communities safer just down the toilet.
The cuts significantly hinder future law enforcement's abilities to predict and prevent attacks on the public, especially from the far right.
