Even today, the very idea that far-left terrorism could be a serious threat is treated as a right-wing fever dream, or worse, as a dangerous fascist conspiracy.

It is a poisonous resentment cloaked in the language of equality and justice liberation — an overwhelming need to tear down, to wreck, what is beautiful and what is right on behalf of people who are only filled with ugliness and have…

They can call themselves anti-capitalist or anti-imperialist, communist, anarchist or Marxist.

We can and we must identify and map this threat and rebuild our counterterrorism architecture to defeat it.

We could be dragged before an international court, tried by judges from random countries across the globe.

For far too long, however, our counterterrorism doctrine has had a blind spot, a blind spot when it comes to extremist violence from the political left.

It is time for the people of the civilized world to defend ourselves, to stand united against this encroaching darkness, and fight – fight for what is ours.

The most essential duty of the state – the first responsibility, frankly, of any government of any kind – is the protection of its people, is the protection of its country.

Antifa militants and their comrades travel from across Europe and to the Americas to participate in each other’s attacks, to funnel propaganda and training, materials, and target information through shared encrypted channels — moving…

Today, we face a new wave of this old evil. Here in the United States, the share of left-wing terrorist attacks and plots has risen to levels not seen in decades… Americans have seen what those numbers mean.

Our counterterrorism doctrine has had a blind spot when it comes to extremist violence from the political left. Even today, the very idea that far-left terrorism could be a serious threat is treated as a right-wing fever dream.

We will dismantle the court.

We strongly urge the Department to return its focus to a serious mission set that is definitionally apolitical, data-driven, and rooted in reality.

So many people in positions of power have repeatedly dismissed acts of violence and even terrorism as legitimate forms of political expression, so long as they served a left-wing cause.

Let there be no confusion about why: President Lula and his government have not negotiated with the US in good faith.

The ICC is backed and run by a powerful network of leftist nongovernment organizations, smug globalists, and hostile Third World governments united by their enmity toward the U.S.

Using all the tools at our government’s disposal, working beside every ally with whom we can make common cause, we will dismantle the ICC—brick by brick, if necessary.

No diplomatic option will be off-limits in the campaign to dismantle the threat posed by the ICC to Americans.

Americans never signed up for this, and all American presidents since the ICC’s ratification have maintained that the ICC does not have jurisdiction over Americans.

The ICC poses an intolerable threat to U.S. sovereignty – it claims the authority to prosecute and even imprison American servicemen and officials operating on behalf of America’s national interest.

If we stand idle, all of them will be at the mercy of foreign judges, thousands of miles away – facing the constant risk of prosecution and even imprisonment for the so-called ‘crime’ of defending their own country.

Marco Rubio is leading the charge to take the far-left terror crusade global.

I don’t think we can find any reason why we would be interested in attending such an event.

This administration will always stand with the American people and defend them from violent criminals.

Americans must never be forced by their elected leaders to live alongside foreign sex criminals who have no right to begin with to reside in our country.
