Representative Karen Bass of the Black Caucus challenged the FBI to retract the Black Identity Extremist document, calling it "open season" on young black activists. She compares the current climate to her experiences protesting the LAPD and questions the validity of the leaked document that serves as the basis for the BIE category.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions testified before Congress regarding the BIE report, appearing unfamiliar with the specific document while acknowledging the existence of racially motivated violent activists. The exchange highlights the transition from the Obama administration to the Trump administration and how the FBI framed the threat.
