Overview
- In Oval Office remarks, President Trump said he would designate Antifa a domestic terrorist organization if supported by his Cabinet and the Justice Department, and he has discussed possible RICO cases with Attorney General Pam Bondi.
- Deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller pledged to "identify, disrupt, dismantle" left-wing networks, with officials citing efforts to trace funding following Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
- House Republicans signaled they will fold Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s measure into the State Department reauthorization, with the Speaker’s backing and committee action expected this week.
- Investigators arrested Tyler Robinson in Kirk’s killing, and the FBI reported shell casings inscribed with anti-fascist slogans, though authorities have not publicly substantiated a broader coordinated plot.
- Reporting underscores Antifa’s decentralized structure and the absence of a standard U.S. mechanism for domestic-terror designations, leaving significant legal and constitutional questions; separately, Trump amplified an unverified report that Hamas moved hostages above ground.
