Families of law enforcement officers are facing threats from individuals linked to the far-left group Antifa, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a post on X.
“Antifa terrorists are threatening the families of our law enforcement officers. We will hunt down these lunatics and put them behind bars,” the post read.
The agency also released an audio clip of a woman verbally abusing the wife of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer, comparing them to Nazis. “Do you know what happened to the Nazis after World War II? That’s what’s going to happen to your family,” the caller said in the profanity-filled message.
In a separate post on X, the White House stated that Antifa is a radical terror group openly calling for the overthrow of the US government. “Under President Trump’s administration, Antifa’s days are over,” it said.
