The Issue
U.S. active-duty military personnel and reservists have participated in a growing number of domestic terrorist plots and attacks, according to new data from CSIS. The percentage of all domestic terrorist incidents linked to active-duty and reserve personnel rose in 2020 to 6.4 percent, up from 1.5 percent in 2019 and none in 2018. Similarly, a growing number of current and former law enforcement officers have been involved in domestic terrorism in recent years. But domestic terrorism is a double-edged sword. In 2020, extremists from all sides of the ideological spectrum increasingly targeted the military, law enforcement, and other government actors putting U.S. security agencies in the crosshairs of domestic terrorists.

AIRWAY HEIGHTS, Wash. The City of Airway Heights is seeking $22 million from state and federal officials for a new well after the city s domestic water supply was impacted in May 2017 by chemicals found in fire extinguishing foam and other materials.
Tests done in May 2017 showed that the city s water supply had been impacted by PFOS and PFOA. The chemicals seeped into groundwater from a fire-training site on the eastern edge of Fairchild Air Force Base, according to the city. A 2018 Washington state law later restricted the use of PFAS in firefighting foam and personal protective equipment.
