The House added an amendment to the annual defense authorization legislation on Wednesday intended to combat white supremacy and neo-Nazi activity in the military.
The amendment requires the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Pentagon to publish a report analyzing White supremacist and neo-Nazi activity within the ranks of the military and federal law enforcement and present ways to prevent it. The amendment, opposed by Republicans and sponsored by Rep. Brad Schneider , passed in a 218-208 party-line vote and was added to the House version of the National Defense Authorization Act.
The reports would include figures on the number of people discharged from uniformed services or law enforcement because of white supremacist and neo-Nazi ideology, and they would be submitted to congressional committees and made public no later than 180 days after the NDAA is enacted.
