Plainclothes police officers were present and actively surveilling an Antifa cell during a protest, which saw a conservative student suffer fatal blows to the head in an alleged mob leftist killing, raising questions about whether law enforcement could have intervened to save his life.
FORT WORTH, Texas — A federal jury in Fort Worth, Texas has convicted all nine members of a North Texas Antifa cell in the first federal Antifa terrorism trial in U.S. history.
The verdict followed two full days of deliberations after a trial that lasted 12 days.

The majority of French voters believe that the far-left La France Insoumise party of Jean-Luc Mélenchon have poorly handled its response to the alleged Antifa killing of a conservative student in Lyon and has been too “complacent” in the face of the violence of the so-called anti-fascist movement.
A heavy police presence is being deployed in Lyon on Saturday as thousands prepare to march in honour of slain activist Quentin Deranque, whose death last week has shaken France and intensified political tensions ahead of next year’s presidential race.
The rally, expected to draw between 2,000 and 3,000 participants, will proceed under tight security despite calls from Lyon’s Green mayor to ban it. Residents along the planned route have boarded up ground-floor windows, fearing clashes with counter-protesters.

Eleven suspects, including a parliamentary aide to France’s hard-left party, have been arrested in connection with the killing last week of a far-right activist in an incident that has shocked the country and laid bare its deep political divisions.
Quentin Deranque, 23, died on Saturday after sustaining a severe brain injury. The Lyon prosecutor, Thierry Dran, said he had been “thrown to the ground and beaten by at least six individuals” during an incident last week.

A federal judge in Texas declared a mistrial on Tuesday after a defense lawyer wore a shirt in court with images from the civil rights movement, delaying a closely watched case in which the Trump administration is accusing a group of protesters of being terrorists and says they are part of a “North-Texas antifa cell”.
US district judge Mark Pittman, an appointee of Donald Trump, declared a mistrial only hours after jury selection began at the federal courthouse in downtown Fort Worth. He abruptly halted the proceedings after MarQuetta Clayton, an attorney for one of the defendants, had been questioning potential jurors for about 20 minutes, taking issue with a shirt she was wearing underneath a black blazer. The shirt contained images of civil rights movement leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr and Shirley Chisholm, as well as images of protests from that time.
Lyon: Quentin is dead.
Horrific CCTV shows Antifa cowards murdering young patriot Quentin.
If this was vice versa, it would be all over the legacy media.
Yet nothing!

I am surprised Macron issued this statement.
Justice Department and Homeland Security officers have arrested “Antifa Kyle,” the cross-dressing anti-ICE domestic terrorist who threatened to assault, kill and doxx officers in Minneapolis.
Kyle Wagner, 37, was arrested Thursday on federal threat and cyberstalking charges following the alleged murder and assault threats against ICE. Wagner is expected to make an initial appearance in federal court today.
On Wednesday, February 4th, the Budapest-Capital Regional Court sentenced German far-left activist ‘Maja T.’—born Simeon T.—to eight years in prison for his role in a series of brutal, ideologically motivated attacks carried out in Budapest in February 2023.
The court found that Maja T. took part in organised, premeditated assaults during the so-called Day of Honour commemorations in the Hungarian capital, when groups of masked attackers stalked victims they deemed ‘right-wing,’ ambushing them from behind and beating them with batons, metal rods, and other weapons.
Antifa is feeling underappreciated, and if I were House or Senate Democrats, I’d think about upping my security. That’s not to suggest that we on the Right don’t have legitimate concerns about them. We do. But we haven’t pricked their egos, and that’s a different kind of dangerous.
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10 of last year as he tried to open a dialog with liberals, and since that time, Democrats and leftists have upped the ante of violence and violent rhetoric instead of backing off and curbing their hate.
Antifa riots and mayhem at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters in Portland, Oregon, have been on the wane since the wintry rains began to blanket the city.
Until Friday night, that is, when Portland Police made a rare arrest.
Friday night is when Portland Police arrested one of the costumed weirdos populating the scrum of leftover Antifa and Trantifa activists who collect outside the ICE HQ and attack federal officers to keep them from rolling up bad guys.
Four far-left extremists face a myriad of conspiracy and other felony charges for allegedly plotting a series of New Year’s Eve bombings followed by a similar ambush on Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Los Angeles.
The alleged attacks, hatched by the so-called pro-Palestine Turtle Island Liberation Front, were discovered by law enforcement after four of its members were allegedly caught testing out the pipe bombs they planned to plant at five LA businesses.
The Turtle Island Liberation Front – the group the FBI found plotting to bomb major cities – is NOT a “pro-Palestine” group.
They are an Antifa group.
Turtle Island refers to North America, the name the land had before it was colonized.

On December 12th, the Department of State said it is offering a reward of up to $10 million “for information leading to the disruption of the financial mechanisms of four European-based groups designated by the U.S. government as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs).”
The press release announcing the move was issued in Hungarian and English by the American embassy in Budapest. Not coincidentally, Thomas G. DiNanno, Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, was in Hungary that day for what was his first official visit abroad since he took office in October.
The U.S. Department of State on Friday announced rewards of up to $10 million for information leading to the disruption of the financial networks of several European Antifa organisations, marking a turning point in Western security policy.
For the first time, the U.S. government is directly, formally, and decisively targeting violent far-left groups operating in Europe, treating them as an international terrorist threat, rather than a mere radical protest movement. The decision reflects a shift in U.S. security policy under the new administration, following its National Security Strategy, which identifies violent ideological movements as a growing transnational threat.
