Overview

• NSPM-7 instructs the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force to craft a national strategy to investigate, prosecute, and disrupt political violence and intimidation.
• The memo lists ideological markers—including anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity—as potential indicators that could trigger federal scrutiny.
• The Treasury Department is directed to disrupt funding networks and pursue revocation of tax-exempt status for organizations deemed to support political violence.
• The order requires coordinated probes of “Antifa” following the president’s domestic terror label, though experts note Antifa is an ideology rather than a formal organization.
• Civil-liberties groups and some lawmakers warn the language could sweep in nonprofits, donors, and protesters, while the White House says it backs free speech and aims to stop left-wing violence.
