Texas AG Ken Paxton Announces Undercover Probes to Infiltrate 'Leftist Terror Cells'

He announced the operations publicly despite withholding any list of targeted groups.

Overview

  • Paxton said the investigations aim to identify, investigate, and infiltrate radical leftist organizations connected to political violence in Texas.
  • He cited the Sept. 10 killing of Turning Point USA cofounder Charlie Kirk, with authorities identifying 22-year-old Tyler Robinson as the suspect.
  • Paxton referenced attacks on ICE facilities, including a July ambush in Alvarado and a Sept. 24 shooting at the Dallas ICE site that killed two detainees.
  • His office said the effort builds on President Donald Trump’s executive order designating Antifa a domestic terrorist organization.
  • No specific targets were disclosed, and the public rollout of an undercover effort drew attention as Paxton campaigns in a competitive Texas Senate race.
