Overview

• NSPM-7 instructs the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force to devise a national strategy to investigate, prosecute, and disrupt entities and individuals tied to political violence and intimidation.
• The order cites ideological markers such as anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity and defines political violence to include organized doxing, rioting, property destruction, threats, and civil disorder.
• The directive calls for coordinated investigations of Antifa, though experts note it functions as a loose ideology rather than a formal organization.
• Nonprofits, employees, and donors deemed to aid or abet targeted conduct could face inquiries, with the Treasury Department directed to disrupt funding networks and challenge tax-exempt status.
• Civil-liberties groups and Rep. Ro Khanna warn the policy could chill protected speech, while the White House says it is focused on illegal activity rather than dissent.
