In response to the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas last Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2022. The bill failed in the senate on Thursday. The act would have assigned a domestic terror specialist to every FBI office and required the FBI to brief the federal government about white supremacists and neo-Nazis twice a year.
