A legal action has been brought by the well-known conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for allegedly hiding details about a grant that exceeded $350,000. The University of Dayton received the grant to study “domestic violence extremism and hate movements,” and according to the Heritage Foundation, there is a connection between neo-Nazi organizations and the Republican Party as well as the conservative group Fox News. The DHS is accused of failing to reply to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in the lawsuit, which was filed on Tuesday in Washington, DC.
Claims and Violations: In the case, Joseph Edlow and Samuel Dewey of the Heritage Foundation claim that DHS has consistently disregarded their FOIA request for details regarding the grant that the University of Dayton was given. The conservative group claims that DHS suppressed non-exempt documents and failed to produce any responsive records, constituting two federal breaches.
Program and Grant Controversial: In fiscal year 2022, Homeland Security authorized the grant under consideration as a component of its Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program. The grant-winning PREVENTS-OH program at the University of Dayton hosted a lecture with a “pyramid of far-right radicalization” that linked neo-Nazi organizations to mainstream conservative groups including the Republican Party, Heritage, and Fox News.
Heritage’s Concerns: The lawyers representing Heritage Foundation stated that they hoped the case will establish if DHS had singled out the group for attention or if it considers them to be on par with neo-Nazis. The claims have sparked concerns about the DHS’s possible bias and how it views conservative groups.
DHS Reaction and Award Specifications: The Department of Homeland Security has not yet reacted to inquiries regarding the complaint. The government had earlier notified Heritage on August 9 that there were “voluminous” FOIA search results and asked the group to focus their request.
The contentious pyramid was displayed during a seminar at the University of Dayton and featured well-known hate groups alongside mainstream conservative organizations. DHS claims that although it did not pay or approve of the lecture, the university included it in its grant application for money for its Homeland Security program.

Well, they are not very far off. NAZI and the current GOP are not very far off from each others.
Au contraire to my “friend” Buzz above I will give you the similarities between the MAGA group and the National Socialists from Germany (and the Fascists from Italy) instead of ranting incoherent nonsenses
– MAGA and NAZIs are both deeply nationalistic groups which claim the purported goal of bringing a country back to the “glories of the past”
-The MAGA and the NAZI have also implemented policies to either ban or burn books that present other ideas they see as dangerous.
-MAGA and the NAZIs have both also a racial blame excuse for all the problems they perceive . For the NAZIs it was the Jews and the Gypsies, for the MAGA GOP crowd, the problems are caused by non-white immigrants and black people.
-MAGA and the NAZIs have no problem using violence, overturning elections to get or keep power.
-MAGA and the NAZI see no problems in having armed militias or storm troppers to intimidate judges, voters or families of politicians.
-MAGA and the NAZI both practice a “cult of personality” . be a Trump, a DeSantis , a Hitler or a Mussolini they crave the “Strong Man” authoritarian that promises to solve all your problems (NOT).
-MAGA and the NAZIs use misinformation and propaganda to provide “alternative facts” to the people…For the NAZIs it was the Department of Information and Goebbels for the GOP MAGA is Faux News and similar web sites.
-The GOP and the NAZI both sponsor an economic policy that helped corporations and their bottom line and squash the labor unions (Labor unions were also banned by the communists).
-MAGA and the NAZIs both forced women to become mothers against their wills….At least the NAZIs helped those women raise their children, the GOP would like to cut any financial support for poor families.
There is more…..but you either got the point OR just bury your head in the ground while the GOP works to eliminate our democratic system
That is the dumbest response I have ever read. Did you just come back from a Communist Party convention? Calling your political opponents Nazis was a tactic invented by Joseph Stalin. You are a child of Stalin.
Are you really this dumb to believe the crap you just wrote or are you some kind of alien that just arrived from another planet and knows nothing about the different groups listed on the form? You definitely sound like a true DEMOCRAT that has been brainwashed by the socialist and communist teaching in our universities. When did the democrats in this country completely lose their ability to use their brain and to use common sense to determine the truth from a lie? Obviously, you have decided to spout all the crap you have been conditioned to say instead of using your brain and actually looking at what is going on this world and make you own decision. If you had, you would have realized what was real and what lies you have just spouted, showing your ignorance of the situation in this country.
