President Trump signed a memorandum on Thursday launching an administration-wide effort to dismantle left-wing domestic terrorist groups across the country. The order seeks to interdict the groups, block them from performing violent acts, and the administration will look at sources of funding for these groups.

“We’re looking at the funders of a lot of these groups, and you know, when you see the signs and they’re all beautiful signs made professionally, these aren’t your protestors that make the sign in their basement late in the evening because they really believe it,” Trump said. “These are anarchists and agitators, professional anarchists and agitators, and they get hired by wealthy people, some of whom I know, I guess. You know, I probably know the, and you wouldn’t know at your dinner with them, everything’s nice, and then you find out that they funded millions of dollars to these lunatics.”

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said, “This is a very historic and significant day. This is the first time in American history that there is an all-of-government effort to dismantle left-wing terrorism, to dismantle Antifa, to dismantle the organizations that have been carrying out these acts of political violence and terrorism.”

“There is a entire system of feeder organizations that provide money, resources, weapons, and when they’re attacking ICE officers, they’re attacking federal buildings, when they’re isolating public officials for harassment, doxxing, intimidation, and ultimately attempted assassination, it is all carefully planned, executed, and thought through. It is terrorism on our soil. Because of this executive order, Kash [Patel] and Pam [Bondi] are going to have the tools they need, working with Scott [Bessent] to take these organizations apart piece by piece. And the central hub of that effort is going to be the Joint Terrorism Task Force, or JTTF, which sits inside the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday, in the wake of a deadly sniper attack on a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office in Dallas, Texas, that he would be signing the order to dismantle left-wing “domestic terrorism networks” amid ongoing political violence against conservatives. “The continuing violence from Radical Left Terrorists, in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, must be stopped,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I will be signing an Executive Order this week to dismantle these Domestic Terrorism Networks.”

On Monday, President Trump signed a separate executive order designating Antifa a domestic terrorist organization. Antifa is a decentralized network of far-left anarchist extremists working to dismantle the United States through the use of violence. Sources in the Director of National Intelligence’s (DNI) Office told The Post Millennial that officials are working to increase the designation by labeling the group a foreign terrorist organization.

Trump previously stated that he had engaged in discussions with Attorney General Pam Bondi regarding the possibility of filing Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) charges against Antifa and other left-wing extremist networks. The law was established to combat organized crime.

The president did not disclose the names of the leftwing organizations that he plans to label as terror groups.

The order follows Wednesday’s attack on an ICE field office in Dallas, Texas. 29-year-old Joshua Jahn has been accused of firing shots with a rifle into the carport area of the ICE office, which killed one migrant detainee and critically wounded two others. Jahn died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced on Thursday that Jahn had searched for “Charlie Kirk Shot Video” and ballistics information in the days leading up to the attack. Agents also discovered he had downloaded a document titled Dallas County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management, which listed DHS facilities.
