Concern over crackdown on anti-facists and Black Lives Matter movement as Trump loyalist takes control of agency
Fears are mounting that Kash Patel, an outspoken Maga disciple and newly appointed director of the FBI, will make good on past comments about crackdowns on anti-fascists and Black Lives Matter protesters.
For years, president Donald Trump has also called on designating “Antifa” or more broadly, all anti-fascist activists – as an official domestic terrorist organization. While that never materialized into official policy, Trump’s top national security leaders at the FBI, CIA and the Pentagon are all hardcore loyalists intent on carrying out his political agenda.
