Anytime I see something arrive in my inbox from the NYU Brennan Center for Justice, I am instantly excited. Today is no exception!
On January 28, 2025 from 3-4PM EST, you can join the Brennan Center for a special discussion on Police and White Supremacist violence.
Register here!
Why do agencies like the FBI seem more focused on monitoring environmentalists and racial justice protesters than on violent groups such as the Proud Boys and other far-right organizations? And after more than two dozen current or former law enforcement officials participated in the January 6 insurrection, what has been done to address extremist sympathizers within these ranks?
These are some of the questions Mike German explores in his new book, Policing White Supremacy: The Enemy Within. Drawing on research and his experiences as an undercover FBI agent infiltrating white supremacist groups, German offers unique insight into domestic extremism and argues for a better way to combat far-right violence.
Join the Brennan Center on Tuesday, January 28, at 3 p.m. ET for a virtual conversation with German and Natalie Tennant, Kanawha County commissioner. Together they will discuss the current threats and what it will take for law enforcement to appropriately tackle the danger of far-right violence.
Speakers:
- Mike German, Former Special Agent, FBI; Fellow, Brennan Center Liberty & National Security Program; Author, Policing White Supremacy
- Moderator: Natalie Tennant, Kanawha County Commissioner; Former West Virginia Secretary of State
