"On Tuesday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that his office would launch undercover operations targeting what he called "various groups affiliated with left-wing political violence" in Texas. In a press release, Paxton cited "transgenderism" and "antifa" as driving forces behind the supposed threat. The move comes just weeks after the Trump administration signaled its intent to weaponize the FBI against left-leaning NGOs and advocacy organizations by labeling them potential supporters of terrorism."
""Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people... To that end, I have directed my office to continue its efforts to identify, investigate, and infiltrate these leftist terror cells. To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming.""
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced undercover operations to target groups he described as engaging in left-wing political violence in Texas. Paxton identified transgenderism and Antifa as driving forces behind the alleged threat and framed leftist ideologies as dangerous. The action follows a broader Republican strategy to repurpose counterterrorism tools against left-leaning NGOs and advocacy organizations by branding them potential terrorism supporters. Paxton ordered identification, investigation, and infiltration of alleged leftist terror cells and warned that those who seek to kill, steal, and destroy would face justice.
