What the NSPM Orders
The document is sweeping in scope, pulling in multiple federal agencies:
- FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs): Ordered to coordinate nationwide investigations targeting radicalization, recruitment, financial networks, NGO involvement, and violent action itself.
- Attorney General: Directed to prosecute all federal crimes tied to political violence, and issue guidance expanding domestic terrorism priorities to include doxing, swatting, rioting, and politically motivated property crimes.
- Secretary of the Treasury and IRS Commissioner: Tasked with identifying and dismantling financial networks supporting domestic terrorism, including stripping tax-exempt status from nonprofits funding unlawful political violence.
- Designation Authority: The Attorney General may now recommend groups that meet criteria for designation as “domestic terrorist organizations.”
- Funding Priority: The Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security must designate domestic terrorism a “National Priority Area,” unlocking new resources for federal and local enforcement.
By design, this order closes gaps that allowed agitators to hide behind nonprofit fronts, social media anonymity, or claims of “protest” to shield what officials say are organized campaigns of intimidation and violence.
