Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — The Obama administration has officially pulled a Department of Homeland Security Report that claims pro-life people may engage in violence or extremism. The document, which has already been sent to police and sheriffs offices across the country, sparked national outrage.
The DHS document warned law officials about a supposed rise in “rightwing extremist activity,” saying the poor economy and presence of a black president could spark problems.
A footnote attached to the nine-page report from the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis said the activities of pro-life advocates is included in “rightwing extremism in the United States.”
“It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration,” the warning said.
During a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Wednesday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told lawmakers the report has been withdrawn.
The wheels came off the wagon because the vetting process was not followed,” Napolitano said, according to the Washington Times.
“The report is no longer out there,” Napolitano added. “An employee sent it out without authorization.”
Napolitano did not say when the report was taken off the Obama administration’s web site but she said it was being “replaced or redone in a much more useful and much more precise fashion.” Click here to read this entire article.
