The U.S. Justice Department announced the opening of a new office aimed at tracking domestic terrorism and coordinating investigations with various pertinent parties – but it’s their planned partner in the endeavor that could set conservatives’ teeth on edge: the Southern Poverty Law Center.
“We’ve been pushing for something like this for quite a few years,” said Mark Potock, with the SPLC, Breitbart reported. “We feel like it’s very much a step forward, although we’ll have to see how it plays out.”
The new office was billed by John Carlin, assistant attorney general, as a “main point of contact for U.S. attorneys working on domestic terrorism matters” in comments delivered at George Washington University, Breitbart reported.
He went on: “The new DT Counsel will not only help ensure that DT cases are properly coordinated by will also play a key role in our headquarters-level efforts to identify trends to help shape our strategy, and to analyze legal gaps or enhancements required to ensure we can combat these threats.”
