Supporters of white racial supremacy have been linked to at least 26 U.S. extreme extremist killings in 2021, and were responsible for 75 percent of all homicides in the past decade in the U.S. - according to new data from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL)
.
An annual data analysis by the Center for the Study of Extremism in the Anti-Defamation League regarding extremist homicides shows that domestic extremists were responsible for the murders of at least 29 people in the United States in 19 different incidents. Extremely documented in 2020, but is significantly lower than the number of murders that occurred in any of the previous five years.

As mentioned, supporters of white race supremacy are responsible in 2021 for more murders than any other type of extremism, with more than half of the murders attributed to movement supporters.
Two murders were committed by black nationalists and one by an extremist Muslim (the first such case to occur since 2018, DL).
It further shows that five of the murders were committed by people who had been in contact with prison gangs supporting white supremacy.
"These figures highlight a further undisputed fact: far-right people pose the greatest threat to all that has been said in internal terrorism in the United States," said the World Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt.
"However, we must remember that these figures are only a fraction of the overall picture of violence and other activities by extremists. Every year, extremists in the United States are involved in terrorist acts and conspiracies, armed clashes, exchanges of gunfire with the police, hate crimes, fraud and deception, threats. And harassment and a wide range of other criminal acts. "
