"Among the ideologies flagged are "adherence to radical gender ideology," along with positions favoring mass migration, anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity, and hostility toward "traditional views on family, religion, and morality," the memo states. While the directive does not explicitly name transgender people, advocates say the language effectively targets trans communities and those who support them, given the administration's repeated use of "gender ideology" as a catchall for transgender identity, health care, education, and civil rights advocacy."
"The guidance operationalizes National Security Presidential Memorandum-7, issued by President Donald Trump in September, by ordering federal prosecutors and law enforcement agencies to prioritize investigations and prosecutions tied to an expansive definition of domestic terrorism. Independent journalist Ken Klippenstein first reported on the memo's existence on Tuesday, after it was leaked.

Attorney General Pam Bondi directed the FBI to create a cash reward system for information leading to arrests of leaders of so-called "domestic terrorist organizations." The guidance implements National Security Presidential Memorandum-7 and orders federal prosecutors and law enforcement to prioritize investigations and prosecutions tied to an expansive definition of domestic terrorism. The memorandum lists ideologies including adherence to 'radical gender ideology,' mass migration advocacy, anti-capitalism, anti-Christianity, and hostility to traditional views on family, religion, and morality. The directive does not explicitly name transgender people, but advocates warn the language effectively targets trans communities, their supporters, and related advocacy in healthcare and education.
