US state department has updated its style guide, which dictates what language and terminology they can and can’t use.

The updated guide bans the term “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism” “ REMVE ” or “ RMVE ’ was now banned, except in situations where they were legally compelled to use it.

Last month Marco Rubio unveiled a plan for huge cuts at the state department , including 700 jobs.

Sebastian Gorka , a senior director for counter-terrorism on the national security council , is looking to ban the term “ REMVE ” at the state department .

In his current role, Gorka has plenty of influence on state department initiatives.

Formal recognition of the threat from modern white supremacist terrorism by the US government came during Trump 's first administration.
