Lawmakers to Hold Hearing on Rise of White Nationalism
------------------------------------------------------

The Daily Beast is reporting the House Judiciary Committee will hold a
hearing in the coming weeks on the rise of white nationalism, hate
crimes and hate speech in the U.S. The Southern Poverty Law Center found
that membership in white nationalist groups increased by nearly 50
percent last year. Government agencies including the FBI and the
Department of Homeland Security have warned that white nationalist
attacks are on the rise and pose a major domestic threat.
