Urges Federal Bureau of Investigation to categorize white supremacists as domestic terrorists.

This Assembly Resolution (AR 94) urges the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to classify crimes committed by white supremacist and white nationalist groups as domestic terrorism, rather than hate crimes or gang-related incidents. It seeks to change how the FBI categorizes these acts to prioritize them under domestic terrorism protocols, which would allocate more federal resources and counterterrorism expertise to investigate and prosecute such cases. The resolution directly targets the FBI’s classification practices, aiming to improve federal response to violence linked to white supremacist groups. It does not create new law but requests a policy shift to address the current practice of handling these crimes as lower-priority hate crimes. The resolution was sponsored by Assemblyman Benjie E. Wimberly and will be sent to federal officials, including the FBI Director.
