'Disrupt, dismantle, destroy' - After Charlie Kirk's death, Trump team signals crackdown on leftist groups
"pledging the federal government would use "every available resource" to dismantle them. "With God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people," he said. "It will happen, and we will do it in Charlie's name.""
"Later, Miller told reporters at the White House that the Trump administration is looking at holding criminally accountable a network of "nonprofit entities" that organise attacks on law enforcement, use doxxing and supply materials used in riots. The remarks by top Trump administration officials on Monday offered the clearest indication yet of what steps the White House is weighing in response to Kirk's death. Critics have for days expressed worry that Trump would use Kirk's assassination as a pretext to crack down on political opponents."
J.D. Vance amplified calls targeting left-leaning groups, naming the Open Society Foundations and the Ford Foundation as targets. Stephen Miller said Kirk's final message called for a coordinated effort against unnamed left-wing groups and pledged federal agencies would use every available resource to dismantle those networks. Miller later said the administration is considering criminal accountability for a network of "nonprofit entities" accused of organising attacks, doxxing and supplying riot materials, without providing evidence. Investigators have not established a political motive for the shooting, and critics warned the response could be used to crack down on opponents.
