Domestic violent extremists present some of the most significant security threats to the U.S.

Question

The moves come despite repeated warnings from U.S. officials in recent years that domestic violent extremists present some of the most significant security threats to the United States. www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...

Answer 1

The claim that domestic violent extremists are among the most serious security threats to the U.S. is supported by multiple government sources. Reports from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI state that racially motivated and anti-government extremists have been responsible for many recent attacks. These individuals often act alone and are influenced by online content.

It's good that you utilized "name-brand" sources like the FBI and D.O. Homeland Security. I would suggest adding links to the sources that you found as credible as it would further strengthen and reassure readers that what you're writing is actually from the sources that you're mentioning. I would also add that you should expand on your reasoning and add quotes to signify that you've read the article and highlight its important parts.

I think that it's good that you said what this claim was supported by, but this is very broad. I think if you add what each of these readings said in the context of this would make your argument stronger instead of leaving it very vague.

Your information was very straight forward and very easy to understand the point, but overall it was too broad. Although you found information from the FBI and the department of Homeland Security it would be helpful to cite those exact links so that the reader can fully digest your argument.
