"We're looking at the funders of a lot of these groups. You know, when you see the signs and they're all beautiful signs made professionally, these aren't your protesters that make the sign in their basement late in the evening because they really believe it. These are anarchists and agitators,"
"Whether it be going back to the riots that started with Black Lives Matter and all the way through to the antifa riots, the attacks on ICE officers, the doxxing campaigns and now the political assassinations - these are not lone, isolated events,"
"This is part of an organized campaign of radical left terrorism."
President Trump signed a presidential memorandum directing federal law enforcement to prioritize disrupting domestic terrorism. White House officials framed the measure around political violence and repeatedly referenced protests, professionally made signs, and the Black Lives Matter movement as problematic. Stephen Miller and others suggested these actions were part of an organized left-wing campaign, including doxxing, attacks on ICE officers, riots, and political assassinations. Officials did not present evidence for a widespread left-wing terror campaign or detailed implementation plans. Law enforcement and available data indicate right-wing extremists pose a larger domestic threat, and Kirk's alleged shooter appears to have acted alone. Reactions split along partisan lines.
