Oregon, a hotbed of extremism, seeks to curb paramilitaries

Law enforcement officers and protesters clash outside the Oregon State Capitol during a special session of the state legislature in Salem, Ore., on Dec. 21, 2020. Over the past decade, Oregon experienced the sixth-highest number of extremist incidents in the nation, despite being 27th in population, according to an Oregon Secretary of State report. Now, the state Legislature is considering a bill that, experts say, would create the nation's most comprehensive law against paramilitary activity. (Brian Hayes/Statesman-Journal via AP, File)
