America First Legal recently reported that a Biden-era CIA document called motherhood and homemaking “extremist.” The 2021 intelligence assessment is called “Women Advancing White Racially and Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremist Radicalization and Recruitment.”
According to the document, “Female members abroad have been emerging as prominent players in the transnational white racially and ethnically motivated violent extremist (REMVE) movement, spanning traditional motherhood-focused roles aimed at advancing white REMVE goals and roles.”
Those involved in REMVE are considered individuals who “incite, facilitate, or conduct violence because they believe that their perception of an idealized white European ethnic identity is under attack from people who embody and support multiculturalism and globalization,” the document states.
The intelligence assessment, while focusing on specific people and parties in the movement, suggests that a redacted group’s emphasis on “motherhood and homemaking” may suggest participation in extremist activities.
America First Legal, upon sharing the document, said that the intelligence assessment “is just the latest example of the Biden Administration’s War on Parents, in addition to its other efforts like branding concerned parents as “‘domestic terrorists.’” The organization added, “Biased intelligence products like this undermine Americans’ confidence in the federal government — and reveal yet another viewpoint the Biden Administration treated as a domestic terror threat.”
Similarly, in 2025, the House Judiciary Committee released a report condemning the Biden-era FBI for labeling Catholic Americans as “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.” The claim, first made in the 2023 Richmond memorandum, was not a singular incident. According to the Richmond memorandum, FBI Richmond assessed the “increasingly observed interest of racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists (RMVEs) in radical-traditionalist Catholic (RTC) ideology almost certainly presents opportunities for threat mitigation through the exploration of new avenues for tripwire and source development.”
The document was one of several pulled by the CIA in February after failing to be politically neutral.
