Trump’s Domestic Countering Violent Extremism Policies Look a Lot Like Obama’s
Seamus Hughes, Haroro J. Ingram Sun, Mar 10, 2019, 10:00 AM
Editor’s Note: Programs to counter violent extremism seemed under siege in the early days of the Trump administration, with officials questioning their focus and very purpose. Seamus Hughes and Haroro J. Ingram, of the Program on Extremism at George Washington University, argue that far less has changed than most people recognize. Despite a lot of rhetoric, U.S. government CVE programs have a similar orientation as they did under Obama but remain underfunded and inadequate.
