USCIS Office of Public Engagement: Strategic Implementation Plan

 

 

 

 Dear Department of Homeland Security Partners,

 

Today, President Obama released the Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) to the National Strategy on Empowering Local Partners to Prevent Violent Extremism in the United States (attached).  The SIP is the blueprint for how we will implement the Domestic Strategy on Countering Violent Extremism (CVE), the first U.S. Government strategy to address violent extremism in the Homeland.  The SIP lists the current and future actions the U.S. Government will take in support of a locally-focused, community-based approach, in three broad areas: (1) enhancing engagement with and support to local communities; (2) building government and law enforcement expertise; and (3) countering violent extremist propaganda while promoting our ideals.  This is the first U.S. Government strategy and implementation plan to address ideologically-inspired violent extremism in the homeland.

 

This SIP is a follow up to the National Strategy on Empowering Local Partners to Prevent Violent Extremism in the United States, which was released by the White House in August 2011.  DHS, along with interagency partners, worked with the Administration to develop this SIP.  

 

For additional information on the DHS approach to CVE, see our DHS CVE Fact Sheet.

 

Thank you for all you do to help keep our nation safe and secure.
