Department of Justice officials said they’re launching civil rights and terrorism investigations into protests outside a Turning Point USA event on the University of California, Berkeley campus on Nov. 10, in another escalation by the Trump administration to combat what it views as left-leaning dissenters in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death.
Harmeet Dhillon, the U.S. assistant attorney general for the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, shared clips of the protest on social media and said an investigation was on the way. Attorney General Pam Bondi followed with her own post, announcing the incident is under "full investigation by the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force." Both suggested an antifa, or anti-fascist movement, connection.
"The @CivilRights will investigate what happened here, and I see several issues of serious concern regarding campus and local security and Antifa’s ability to operate with impunity in CA," Dhillon said on X.
