The effort aims to close a loophole in federal authorities' ability to prosecute suspects in domestic terrorism cases.
Washington Arizona GOP Sen. Martha McSally plans to introduce legislation next month that would make domestic terrorism a punishable federal crime, an effort that aims to close a loophole in federal authorities' ability to prosecute suspects in domestic terrorism cases.
McSally released a discussion draft of the legislation Wednesday, which her office said would"add specific punishments for acts of domestic terrorism and provide federal law enforcement with new charging options." The legislation would allow federal authorities to charge suspects with domestic terror, criminalize politically-motivated violence and ensure that victims of terrorism are"properly recognized," among other things.
