"Combatting Domestic Terrorism and Armed Para-Militaries" with Mary McCord, Legal Director at the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection (ICAP) and Visiting Professor of Law at Georgetown University.
The events of this past January 6 at the Capitol brought the issue of how to combat domestic terrorism to the forefront once again. It erupted over three years ago when white supremacist groups descended on Charlottesville, VA and usurped the role of law enforcement, intimidating counter-protesters.
Mary McCord, former Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security at the U.S. Department of Justice and former Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division will discuss how unlawful armed para-military organizations are continuing to threaten constitutional rights and what can be done about them.
At ICAP, McCord leads a team that brings constitutional impact litigation at all levels of the federal and state courts across a wide variety of areas including First Amendment rights, immigration, criminal justice reform, and combating the rise of private paramilitaries. Previously, McCord was an Assistant U.S. Attorney for nearly 20 years at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.
