A US House of Representatives subcommittee held a hearing Tuesday to examine the infiltration of law enforcement by white supremacist groups. Representatives from law enforcement, academics and activists gave testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform’s Civil Rights and Civil Liberties subcommittee in a recorded two-hour remote hearing.
Prior to the hearing, subcommittee chairman Jamie Raskin released a 2006 FBI threat assessment report that highlighted the extent of white supremacist officers within police departments across the country and the effect of their presence in fostering an environment of pervasive racism.
