AG Ken Paxton announces undercover investigations of "leftist terror cells"
Attorney General Ken Paxton is launching undercover investigations of “left-wing political violence” in Texas.
This comes after The Department of Homeland Security cut $18.5 million in funding and laid off 20% of the staff at The Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships, a DHS program aimed at preventing violence and terrorism. The federal government has also cut ties with organizations aimed at addressing hate groups, including the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League.
Paxton cited the recent attack at a Dallas Immigration and Customs field office and a shooting at an Alvarado ICE detention center on July 4 as reasons for the investigations in a press release. He also pointed to the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, calling it a “turning point.”
“There can be no compromise with those who want us dead,” Paxton said in the press release. “To that end, I have directed my office to continue its efforts to identify, investigate, and infiltrate these leftist terror cells. To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming.”
