Extremism and political divisions at home have created “a perfect storm” for radicalization in America , experts say.

Finding and accessing extremist communities online has never been easier and the threat is never higher.

The FBI says the main threat to the U.S. now is lone actors inspired by extremism ideology.

The New Orleans attack was the second deadliest on U.S. soil tied in some way to a foreign terrorist organization since 9/11.

It is still unclear exactly how or when Jabbar was radicalized to the ISIS ideology he espoused in videos on his way to the attack, experts say.

The number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and violent extremism.

Donald Trump ’s re-election and the beginning of his new administration also raise the possibility that there will be attacks associated with the left or with anti-Trump ideology and feelings.

Ryan Routh , the man charged in connection with the apparent attempt to assassinate Trump in Florida this fall , was allegedly angry at Trump over his policy toward Iran and Ukraine .
