The administration's strategy targets 'radically pro-transgender' and 'anarchist' groups as security threats, using editorializing language that equates progressive identity politics with extremism, without critical scrutiny.
"US counterrorism efforts will 'prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist.'"
