Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) filed legislation last week to codify “conspiracy to commit white supremacy” in federal hate crime laws.
The Leading Against White Supremacy Act, introduced days after the beginning of the new Congress, would enable the Department of Justice to prevent “violent activity” in relation to white supremacy ideology. The bill does not define white supremacy. Nevertheless, it adds “white supremacy based motivation against any person” to existing statutes that already introduce penalties for crimes perpetrated against another person because of “race, color, religion, or national origin.”
