FBI Files Counter Government Argument In Texas ‘Antifa’ Trial

March 26, 2026 Adam Federman, In These Times. , , , , ,
Fort Worth, Texas—On the last day of testimony in the federal ​“Prairieland” trial — wherein nine activists faced charges related to a protest outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center — the government called its star witness back to the stand. Kyle Shideler, director of counterterrorism research at the right-wing think tank Center for Security Policy, had been key to the prosecution’s case that ​“antifa” — the loose network of activists defined by their opposition to fascism — is a violent, criminal organization bent on overthrowing the U.S. government.

Trump Administration Wins First Antifa Terror Charge

March 16, 2026 Olivia Rosane, Common Dreams. , , , ,
The government has largely won its first case bringing material-support-for-terrorism charges against protesters alleged to belong to “antifa,” which President Donald Trump designated as a domestic terror group in 2025 despite the fact that no such organized group exists and the president has no legal authority to designate organizations as domestic terror groups. A federal jury in Fort Worth, Texas agreed on Friday to convict eight people of domestic terrorism because they wore all black to a protest outside Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Prairieland Detention Facility in Alvarado, Texas on July 4, 2025, at which one of the protesters shot and wounded a police officer.

Germany: Critics Of The Government Are Losing Their Bank Accounts

December 24, 2025 Leon Wystrychowski, People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
The German Communist Party (DKP) announced earlier this month that several associated bank accounts (including that of the party executive) will be terminated as of December 31, 2025. The reasons for the account termination remain unclear and the act in itself raises more questions than answers. The case has also drawn attention to a trend in Germany that appears to be resurfacing more and more: attacks on the material foundations of actors who criticize the German government, and especially its policies on war.

Trump Adds EU Antifa Groups, Drug Cartels To Terror List

November 16, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
The US government is “pursuing an unprecedented expansion” of its list of foreign terrorist organizations by adding left-wing groups in Europe and drug cartels in Latin America, The Washington Post reported on 16 November, just days after removing a former Al-Qaeda leader and hosting him at the White House. Led by neoconservative Zionist Jews, the US government launched the so-called “War on Terror” following the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. After blaming Islamic extremists from Al-Qaeda for the attacks, US lawmakers passed the Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF), giving the George W. Bush White House the freedom to invade Afghanistan and Iraq and intervene anywhere in the world under the pretext of fighting terrorism.

Dallas Residents On The Front Lines Of Trump’s War Against ‘Antifa’

October 26, 2025 Andrew Lee, Truthout. , , , , ,
On the night of July 4, 2025, Meagan Morris and Autumn Hill departed the Dallas home they shared with several others to go to an immigrant solidarity protest. This was no small thing for either of the two housemates. A 41-year-old transgender woman, Meagan had been out of work since her collapsed neck vertebrae forced her to leave her job at UPS. Autumn had little political experience save for volunteering for a local nonprofit and once marching in a Pride parade. But with the Trump administration conducting violent immigration raids across the country in service of Trump’s mass deportation agenda, both Morris and Autumn Hill wanted to head to Alvarado for a “noise demo” outside the 700-bed Prairieland Detention Center.

Trump’s Blueprint To Crush The Left Draws From Decades Of Counterterrorism Policy

October 7, 2025 Chip Gibbons, Dropsite News. , , , , , ,
Five days after the murder of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk, Vice President JD Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast from the White House. The Trump administration has never been particularly friendly to dissent, but since the killing of Kirk it has increasingly sought to lay blame for his death on their political opponents. While broadcasting from the White House, the vice president used the opportunity to rail against the left, promising to “dismantle the institutions that promote violence and terrorism in our own country.” Vance was joined by Stephen Miller who serves as the White House Deputy Chief of Staff as well as Trump’s Homeland Security Advisor. Miller pledged, “With God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, eliminate and destroy this network and make America safe again for the American people.”

Chris Hedges: We Are All Antifa Now

September 25, 2025 Chris Hedges, Consortium News. , , , ,
Trump’s designation of the amorphous group antifa, which has no formal organization or structure, as a terrorist organization permits the state to charge us all as terrorists. The point is not to go after members of antifa, short for anti-fascist. It is to go after the last vestiges of dissent. When Barack Obama oversaw the coordinated national campaign to shut down the Occupy encampments, antifa — so named because they dress in black, obscure their faces, move as a unified mass and seek physical confrontations with police – was the excuse. “I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post.

Trump Designates Anti-Fascism As Terrorism

September 23, 2025 Skwawkbox, The Canary. , , , , ,
US president Donald Trump has issued an executive order designating ‘Antifa’ as a terrorist group, despite there being no such group – and has worded his order so broadly as to make any form of protest against his fascist immigration ‘police’ treatable as terrorism. There has been little to no evidence of violence by anti-fascist protesters; on the contrary, they have frequently been the victims of unprovoked violence from both pro-Israel far-right groups and law enforcement. There is, of course, no individual group named ‘Antifa’; instead it is an umbrella abbreviation of ‘anti-fascist’ used for all opponents of the fascism that is burgeoning under Trump, a phenomenon in large part driven by the US Israel lobby’s wish to criminalise anti-genocide protest.

Leaks Show DC Cops Justify ‘Aggressive’ Protest Tactics

May 24, 2021 Creede Newton, Al Jazeera. , , ,
Documents obtained by Al Jazeera appear to show Washington, DC’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) used a training document to justify “an aggressive police response” to left-wing demonstrations and legal observers, according to experts. Ransomware group Babuk stole the documents from MPD several weeks ago and asked a bounty of $1m for their return. MPD did not pay, resulting in their leak. The documents include a January 2019 PowerPoint training presentation hacked from an MPD intelligence officer entitled “First Amendment Training Presentation”. The majority of the presentation features images of myriad left-wing groups, causes and demonstrations, including Antifa, environmentalists, the Women’s March and more.

Intelligence Report Equates Anarchists With Right-Wing Militias

April 10, 2021 Kristian Williams, Truthout. , , ,
Mainstream Democrats are in a hawkish mood when it comes to “domestic terrorism.” That is bad news for the left. Immediately upon taking office, President Biden “tasked the director of national intelligence, in coordination with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, with compiling a comprehensive threat assessment on violent domestic extremism,“ according to The Washington Post. This request was prompted by the right-wing attack on the Capitol on January 6. The resulting report, “Domestic Violent Extremism Poses Heightened Threat in 2021,” was submitted on March 1, and its executive summary was released publicly a few days later. 

False Equivalencies Re Antifa/Fascism

January 9, 2021 Eleanor Goldfield, Art Killing Apathy. , , ,
I read Glenn Greenwald’s latest article titled “Violence in the Capitol, Dangers in the Aftermath” and found myself nodding in agreement with 95% of what he wrote. But there was one big problem with this article that I just couldn’t leave alone – so here I am with a little note on a big problem. The issue I have comes at the end of his piece where he severely downplays the threats of right-wing violence while simultaneously raising the threat level of left-wing violence. He writes: “there are right-wing activists filled with rage and who are willing to engage in violence. Some of them are dangerous (just as some Muslims in the post-9/11 era, and some Antifa nihilists, were and are genuinely violent and dangerous).”

Standing By: Right Wing Militia Groups And The US Election

November 2, 2020 The Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project. , , ,
Militia groups and other armed non-state actors pose a serious threat to the safety and security of American voters. Throughout the summer and leading up to the general election, these groups have become more assertive, with activities ranging from intervening in protests to organizing kidnapping plots targeting elected officials (CNN, 13 October 2020). Both the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have specifically identified extreme far right-wing and racist movements as a primary risk factor heading into November, describing the election as a potential “flashpoint” for reactionary violence

Law Enforcement Exposed: Massive Blue Leaks, Police Pentagon Papers

August 1, 2020 Kevin Zeese, Popular Resistance. , , ,
In an email message, Betsy Reed, the editor-in-chief of the Intercept reports, "Hundreds of thousands of files from the FBI and local police departments have been leaked, exposing serious abuses of power by law enforcement." She writes, Blue Leaks "are like the Pentagon Papers for U.S. law enforcement." The leaks show how political activists are targeted and monitored on social media, that there is widespread racial bias by police and that police exaggerate threats by antifa to justify violence against protesters.

Glasgow’s Far-Right Violence Is A Warning To Anti-Fascists

June 20, 2020 Matt Kerr, Tribune Mag. , , ,
Many of those who organised around the exemplary “no evictions” campaign over the last couple of years gathered to show solidarity and support for people with no vote, no opportunity to work, no money, and living in a new country having fled conditions which were often the stuff of nightmares. Sadly, this was met with a “counter-protest.” Quite how anyone could protest against people being given decent food to eat should be beyond comprehension – but for the far-right, this seemed too much like treating people from other places and races with dignity. Two sets of people faced-off. One set of working-class people who defended those who had nothing, who stood by the oppressed in the best traditions of the city – and another set defending the establishment, its grubby treatment of the most marginalised and its statues, including many of those in that square who would never have lifted a finger for the working-class in their lives.

Infiltrating Antifa: The Feds And Their Long History Of Subversion

June 15, 2020 By T.J. Coles, Counterpunch. , , ,
Antifa is a leaderless, direct action platform, making it unusually easy for police, intelligence groups, and rival organizations to infiltrate and frame for violence. For example, on the same day that Trump tweeted his wish to see Antifa banned, a livestreamer was forced to run away after he incited a New York BLM group to “flip” over a truck before the crowd called him out. So, let’s see how the federal authorities infiltrate, provoke, and subvert. As usual, the state is the most violent of all the institutions involved. It subverts and oppresses as methods of its survival. The state typically directs its energy against left-wing groups while allying with far-right and fascist elements as proxies against progressives. None of this can be uttered in mainstream media, lest one is accused of conspiracy theorizing. Grassroots activists, on the other hand, are all-too-aware of these tactics.
