AB This chapter examines the evolution of jihadist terrorism in the United States since the advent of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. It evaluates the homegrown threat of ISIS in America across six key dynamics: (1) supporters who planned and/or conducted attacks in the United States, (2) supporters who traveled or attempted to travel to Syria and Iraq to join the group, (3) ISIS and its supporters in the online sphere, (4) major jihadist ideologues who spread ISIS’ message to an American audience, (5) the financial aspects of American ISIS cases, and (6) US counterterrorism and countering violent extremism (CVE) programs. The authors’ analysis draws on thousands of pages of US court documents, interviews with counterterrorism officials and practitioners, and field experiences. Policy recommendations and lessons learned are included in each section.
