In all, U.S. Attorneys’ offices brought 183 domestic terrorism cases in 2020, compared with 90 in 2019, 63 in 2018 and 69 in 2017, according to the TRAC report, which used data the clearinghouse obtained through litigation.
Domestic terrorism cases last year also eclipsed the 21 international terrorism cases filed by the federal government.
