The perpetrators of these crimes are often White men, some but surely not all of whom hail from small towns or who organize in remote, rural locales. Often, their victims are non-Whites, non-Christians, immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, or agents of the state or federal government whom the perpetrators believe are acting on behalf of these out-groups.[5] During the Trump presidency, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security issued similar reports that identified White supremacist groups as America’s biggest domestic terrorist threat.[6]
