Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly on Sunday urged the public to report homegrown terrorist activity, including threats and concerns about white supremacists.
“The appeal I would make on the homegrown threat is if you see something, say something whether you’re a parent, a sibling, an imam. And this extends frankly, John, to white supremacists and that kind of terrorism as well,” Kelly told CBS “Face the Nation” host John Dickerson.
“If you see a young man or a young woman going down that path where they’re always on these kinds of websites or saying things at church or in a mosque that are clearly disturbing, then tell someone about it so that we can help that kid, young man or woman, before they break the law,” Kelly added.
Incidents where white supremacy is concerned are more often deemed hate crimes rather than terrorism. Kelly’s association of the two seems to be a first in the Trump administration.
