(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A will be working with its state and local partners over the next
several months to ascertain with greater regional specificity the rise in rightwing
extremist activity in the United States, with a particular emphasis on the political, economic, and social factors that drive rightwing extremist radicalization.

I’m troubled by this quotation at the very end of the Assessment. It is my God given right as an American to hold political views and to express them. I don’t see this as Black Helicoptering. I see this as a formal document put out by my government that identifies a wide range of vaguely defined views, many of which I do believe in, and lump them into potentially dangerous categories that need watching.
Like I said, I’m troubled.
