Congressman Schneider Pushing for Passage of Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act

A Democrat member of Congress wants a bill that passed the house last year to make it through the senate this year. Illinois’ Brad Schneider from the 10th District, says the timely nature of the reintroduction of the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act comes after the Capitol was stormed.

 

He says federal, state and local law enforcement need more information about white nationalists, and other groups connected to the far right along with any group or organization that is seeking to cause terror in the United States.

 

 

Schneider says the bill has bipartisan support but was killed in the US Senate last year when Republican Mitch McConnel refused to bring it to the floor for a vote.
