Show Notes

Dr. Amy Cooter is a senior research fellow at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies and its Center on Terrorism, Extremism and Counterterrorism. In a sobering conversation with the Chino Y Chicano, she talks about the rise of domestic extremist groups in the United States such as the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, Neo-Nazis and militias,  and their threat to democracy and communities of color. As a graduate student, Cooter spent three years embedded in Michigan militia groups, observing how they recruited and trained people. She says that during the Trump Administration the extremist groups presence increased, and as the 2024 Presidential election approaches, she expects their visibility to rise even more.
