"The Trump administration is drawing up "secret lists of terrorist groups inside the United States," Senator Elissa Slotkin said on the floor of Congress yesterday - the first such reference to the effects of National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7)."
"The directive, as I've reported, lays out Donald Trump's policies with regard to equating "anti-Christian" and "anti-capitalist" sentiment with domestic terrorism. As a result of the directive, the FBI's domestic terrorism watchlist is expected to double in the coming months, sources told me."
"Slotkin in her Senate speech warned that with NSPM-7, the Trump administration had directed law enforcement agencies to "make secret lists of terrorist groups inside the United States and send the full force of the U.S. government against those terrorist organizations.""
NSPM-7 directs law enforcement agencies to compile secret lists of domestic terrorist groups and to mobilize the full force of the U.S. government against those groups. The directive equates "anti-Christian" and "anti-capitalist" sentiment with domestic terrorism and is expected to significantly enlarge the FBI's domestic terrorism watchlist in the coming months. Agencies are reportedly being asked to develop these lists without public disclosure. A legislator with intelligence and defense experience raised alarm about the policy and noted that law enforcement communities are being tasked with producing the lists while the public is not being informed.
