President Trump signed a memorandum directing a crackdown on alleged "domestic terrorism" and "organized political violence," specifically targeting left-wing groups and their financiers. The directive instructs multiple agencies to develop strategies for investigating and disrupting individuals and entities engaged in political violence and intimidation. White House official Stephen Miller singled out "antifa" as a primary target, claiming it is a sophisticated and well-funded operation. The memo also indicates potential investigations into groups like the Open Society Foundations, despite the lack of federal law for labeling U.S. organizations as "terrorist" groups.
