SECURITY

and make publicly available on the Internet website of the

SEC. 2402. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING THE PREVENTION 
OF RADICALIZATION LEADING TO IDEOLOGICALLY-BASED 
VIOLENCE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The United States is engaged in a struggle against 
a transnational terrorist movement of radical extremists that 
plans, prepares for, and engages in acts of ideologically-based 
violence worldwide. 
(2) The threat of radicalization that leads to ideologically- 
based violence transcends borders and has been identified as 
a potential threat within the United States. 
(3) Radicalization has been identified as a precursor to 
terrorism caused by ideologically-based groups. 
(4) Countering the threat of violent extremists domestically, 
as well as internationally, is a critical element of the plan 
of the United States for success in the fight against terrorism. 
(5) United States law enforcement agencies have identified 
radicalization that leads to ideologically-based violence as an 
emerging threat and have in recent years identified cases of 
extremists operating inside the United States, known as ‘‘home-
grown’’ extremists, with the intent to provide support for, or 
directly commit, terrorist attacks. 
(6) Alienation of Muslim populations in the Western world 
has been identified as a factor in the spread of radicalization 
that could lead to ideologically-based violence. 
(7) Many other factors have been identified as contributing 
to the spread of radicalization and resulting acts of ideologi-
cally-based violence. Among these is the appeal of left-wing 
and right-wing hate groups, and other hate groups, including
H. R. 1—282 
groups operating in prisons. Other such factors must be exam-
ined and countered as well in order to protect the homeland 
from violent extremists of every kind. 
(8) Radicalization leading to ideologically-based violence 
cannot be prevented solely through law enforcement and intel-
ligence measures. 
(b) SENSE
OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress that 
the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with other 
relevant Federal agencies, should make a priority of countering 
domestic radicalization that leads to ideologically-based violence 
by— 
(1) using intelligence analysts and other experts to better 
understand the process of radicalization from sympathizer to 
activist to terrorist; 
(2) recruiting employees with diverse worldviews, skills, 
languages, and cultural backgrounds, and expertise; 
(3) consulting with experts to ensure that the lexicon used 
within public statements is precise and appropriate and does 
not aid extremists by offending religious, ethnic, and minority 
communities; 
(4) addressing prisoner radicalization and post-sentence re-
integration, in concert with the Attorney General and State 
and local corrections officials; 
(5) pursuing broader avenues of dialogue with minority 
communities, including the American Muslim community, to 
foster mutual respect, understanding, and trust; and 
(6) working directly with State, local, and community 
leaders to— 
(A) educate such leaders about the threat of 
radicalization that leads to ideologically-based violence and 
the necessity of taking preventative action at the local 
level; and 
(B) facilitate the sharing of best practices from other 
countries and communities to encourage outreach to 
minority communities, including the American Muslim 
community, and develop partnerships among and between 
all religious faiths and ethnic groups.
