- NEW: The FBI has launched "domestic terrorism" investigations into anti-ICE activity across the US. Some cases are under Trump's NSPM-7 order to crackdown on "anti-fascism" and "anti-Americanism." Docs obtained by @propertyofthepeople.org + shared w/ Guardian include FBI map of cases in 30+ states:
- An internal FBI report in Nov, distributed to other law enforcement agencies, said “indicators” an individual may be planning to attack ICE facilities or staff include “conducting online research” about agents’ movements + using encrypted messaging apps. @us.theguardian.com @propertyofthepeople.org
- Trump's NSPM-7, issued after Charlie Kirk's killing, cited LA "riots" as example of "political violence." The FBI report claimed “domestic terrorist subjects," who fall under NSPM-7, have engaged in “reactive violent attacks which took advantage of First Amendment-protected activities nationwide."
- The FBI report reveals: -criminal + domestic terrorism investigations into "anti-ICE threats" in 23 regions. -NSPM-7 "domestic terrorism" cases in 27 states. -High volume of cases in Chicago, Dallas + Portland -continued efforts to investigate "funders" + "organizations" that "aid" terrorism
- “At its core, the war on antifa is a war on dissent, a war on free speech” -@rshapiro.bsky.social @propertyofthepeople.org. The docs “strongly suggest one of the primary functions of NSPM-7 is to serve as a vehicle for targeting anti-ICE organizing broadly as an anarchist violent extremist threat"
- Hina Shamsi, ACLU: “The FBI report is infused w/ vague + overbroad language. Ppl entirely innocent of wrongdoing can be subjected to surveillance or investigations...No matter what NSPM-7 says, the Constitution constrains federal agencies if they seek to punish ppl for exercising free speech rights"

- FBI cited two violent cases: Dallas ICE office shooting by gunman w/ unclear political beliefs who killed 2 detainees; + shooting at Alvarado ICE jail. In Alvarado, DOJ accused 15 ppl of being in an "antifa cell" but my colleague @samrlevine.bsky.social dug into it + raised qs about govt's narrative
- The new FBI report is coming to light after we revealed last month that the FBI and NYPD have spied on a Signal group of NYC court watch activists who monitor public proceedings, labeling the volunteers “anarchist violent extremists." From earlier records unearthed by @propertyofthepeople.org:
