Our current effort comes on the heels of another large and heinous attack, this time, the January 6 assault on our nation`s capital. Attacks by domestic terrorists are not just attacks on their immediate victims they are attacks on all of us collectively. We are focused on violence, not an ideology. We do not prosecute people for their beliefs.
