Why is the DOJ investigating Antifa?
Asked 3 hours ago
Answer
The DOJ is investigating Antifa for violent incidents at UC Berkeley, focusing on possible civil rights violations, unequal law enforcement responses, and the university's and police's handling of the violence. The probe involves coordination with the Joint Terrorism Task Force and examines whether federal civil rights laws, including Title VI, were violated. The DOJ will proceed with federal action regardless of local authorities' actions and is scrutinizing potential bias in government responses to extremist violence.
