“Nearly two decades have passed since the country was launched into a worldwide struggle against terrorism since 9/11. U.S. law enforcement has investigated, prosecuted, and convicted hundreds of terrorists, both those who planned and executed terrorist attacks, as well as those arrested for engaging in material support for terrorism. But given the passage of time, in many cases these convicted terrorists are now available for parole, or have served their sentences, and are preparing for release. Additionally, during the high point of the Islamic State U.S. law enforcement -both state and federal- were focused on preempting potential terror attacks resulting in many terror arrests accompanied by relatively light sentences. The Center is proud to have hosted a panel discussing state and national efforts to establish a terrorism offender’s registry, why it is needed, and how it can work.”
