domestic intelligence
Internal security surveillance
Domestic intelligence is the gathering of information about threats, subversion, or criminal activity within a country's own borders, as opposed to foreign intelligence operations abroad.
The term often appears in discussions of security agencies monitoring citizens: The FBI handles domestic intelligence, while the CIA focuses overseas.
Domestic intelligence programs frequently spark debate over civil liberties and government overreach.
