Texas Ag Ken Paxton launches secret investigations into “left terrorist cells”

Texas prosecutor General Ken Paxton announced on Tuesday that he had launched secret investigations to infiltrate and uproot the left -wing terrorist cells following incidents of very publicized political violence.

Paxton cited the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the “disturbing rise in leftist violence” across the country.

“Left political terrorism constitutes an obvious and current danger. Corrupded ideologies like transgenderism and antifa are cancer for our culture and have dropped their disturbed and drug addicts on the American people,” he said.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk highlights the rise of terror on the left while a study shows that violence has reached its highest level for 30 years.

“The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America,” added Paxton. “There can be no compromise with those who want our death. To this end, I asked my office to continue his efforts to identify, investigate and infiltrate these left terrorist cells. To these denial souls who seek to kill, steal and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape.”

Paxton said that the radical left has “incubated” an environment where political violence is celebrated and rented.

He cited nearly two dozen people allegedly linked to antifa type groups based in Texas and accused of having set an ambush to an establishment of immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Alvarado, Texas.

Paxton also underlined the kirk murder on September 10 on a university campus in Utah and the shooting in an Ice establishment in Dallas.

President Donald Trump has appointed Antifa as a national terrorist organization while ordering federal agencies to investigate, disrupt and dismantle the involved groups.

“Based on the bold actions of President Trump, the Attorney General Paxton asked his office to open in -depth investigations into the radical left -wing organizations involved in or providing support to those who commit political violence,” said Paxton’s office.

The Trump administration adopted a firm position against political violence following the assassination of Kirk. However, a federal judge recently prevented him from deploying the National Guard in Portland, Oregon, where demonstrators targeted the installations of the ICE.
