The ADL’s annual Murder and Extremism report says domestic extremists of all kinds killed 42 people in a total of 17 separate incidents last year, down from 53 killings in 2018 but higher than the 41 in 2017.
"This is part of a general trend of increasingly lethal attacks by domestic extremists in the United States," the report says.
Right-wing extremists killed at least 330 people over the past decade, accounting for 76% of all domestic extremist-related killings.
Fourteen of the 17 cases of killings by domestic extremists last year involved a single death, the ADL says.
