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

This New Jersey Senate resolution (SR 45) urges the FBI to classify crimes committed by white supremacists and white nationalists as domestic terrorism, rather than hate crimes or gang-related offenses. It highlights that since 9/11, white supremacist attacks have outnumbered Islamic terrorist attacks in the U.S., and current FBI classifications limit resource allocation for these cases. The resolution notes that domestic terrorism cases receive higher priority, including dedicated counterterrorism agents, while hate crime investigations often rely on under-resourced local law enforcement. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change law but seeks to influence federal classification practices. It was introduced in January 2026 and referred to the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee.
