White supremacists are officially more of a threat to New Jersey than both ISIS and al Qaeda, according to state security officials
In the state's annual Terrorism Threat Assessment report, released Friday, the state raised the threat level for white supremacist extremists to"high" -- the topmost category for threat levels for any extremist group in the state.The only other threat listed as high as white supremacist extremists are homegrown violent extremists, who also held the top place in 2019's report. White supremacists were previously listed as a moderate threat, along with ISIS.
"The ever-changing threat landscape in New Jersey and around the country requires us to adjust our strategies to anticipate new threats while remaining ready to combat those already existing," said Jared Maples, director of the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, in a news release.ISIS, on the other hand, was reduced to"low" because of the group's focus on a global presence, rather than attacks on the US.
