"The U.S. Department of Justice announced Tuesday it is investigating how UC Berkeley prepared for a Turning Point USA event Monday night that sparked intense protests on campus. In two letters posted on X and addressed to university officials, the department's Civil Rights Division requested campus communication records related to how the university prepared security for the event and responded to the protests."
"Attorney General Pamela Bondi also chimed in on social media, characterizing the protests as violent riots. Antifa is an existential threat to our nation.The violent riots at UC Berkeley last night are under full investigation by the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force. We will continue to spare no expense unmasking all who commit and orchestrate acts of political violence. Under Attorney General Pamela Bondi (@AGPamBondi) November 11, 2025"
"Pro-TPUSA people tried to agitate members of the crowd, but for the most part, attendees just ignored them, gently led them out of the crowd, and carried on with chants and dancing. Our event, which lasted more than five hours without major incident, was a positive affirmation of our diverse and supportive community, the SF Bay Activists Media Team wrote in a press release Tuesday"
The U.S. Department of Justice opened an investigation into UC Berkeley's handling of security for a Turning Point USA event that triggered intense campus protests. The Civil Rights Division sent two letters requesting campus communication records about preparations and responses to the demonstrations. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon said the division is deciding whether to fold the incident into existing University of California investigations or to launch new inquiries. Attorney General Pamela Bondi called the unrest violent and cited an FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force review, while organizers said most attendees ignored agitators and the event ran over five hours without major incident.
