Post-Charlie Kirk Killing: Heritage Foundation Urges FBI to Classify Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violence as Domestic Terrorism Threat

Following the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, the Republican policy machinery swiftly sprang into action. The Heritage Foundation, responsible for the Project 2025 initiative and its offshoot, the Oversight Project, urged the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to classify “Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism” (TIVE) as a distinct category within domestic terrorism threats. This call comes at a time when President Donald Trump has recently issued an executive order aimed at bolstering federal law enforcement against undefined domestic terror groups.
