US EditionBondi orders US law enforcement to investigate 'extremist groups'
Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered the FBI to prioritize investigations and prosecutions of groups labeled extremist, focusing on domestic terrorism and related financial crimes.
- On Dec 4, Pam Bondi ordered federal law enforcement to investigate Antifa and similar 'extremist groups,' directing the FBI to compile a domestic terrorism target list.
- Bondi wrote, `These domestic terrorists use violence or the threat of violence to advance political and social agendas, including opposition to law and immigration enforcement; extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders; adherence to radical gender ideology, anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, or anti-Christianity`, Bondi wrote.
- The memo orders the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces to prioritize investigations, directs federal law enforcement agencies and prosecutors to scour internal archives, and asks the FBI to investigate incidents over the past five years.
- The memo urges Justice Department grant-making offices to fund states and municipalities with counter-terrorism programs, directs prioritizing domestic terrorism and tax crime probes, and instructs updating the FBI tip line.
- It follows a presidential order months earlier targeting Antifa as a terrorist organization, aligning Justice Department priorities with recent White House actions, while a Justice Department spokesperson did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
