Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act Raises Fears of New Government

A little-noticed anti-terrorism bill quietly making its way through U.S. Congress is raising fears of a new affront on activism and constitutional rights. The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act was passed in an overwhelming 400 to six House vote last month. Critics say it could herald a new government crackdown on dissident activity under the guise of fighting terrorism.
