WASHINGTON — President Trump enacted a sweeping new counterterrorism strategy aimed at crushing threats “at home and abroad,” with a heavy focus on drug cartels, Islamist terror groups and violent political extremists inside the US, a top White House official said on a press call Wednesday.
Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to the president, described the 16-page framework as an “America First counterterrorism” blueprint centered on protecting the homeland by aggressively dismantling threats before they reach US soil.
In line with the “Donroe Doctrine,” the strategy’s first priority is the “neutralization of hemispheric terror threats” — placing cartels squarely in the crosshairs.
Gorka said the administration plans to “incapacitate cartel operations” and expand the use of Foreign Terrorist Organization designations to choke off their financing and logistics.
The strategy also expands focus to violent actors inside the US, including what Gorka described as “violent secular political groups” such as Antifa and others espousing anti-American or anarchist ideologies.
Officials plan to “map them at home, identify their membership” and disrupt operations using law enforcement tools before attacks occur.
Gorka also warned of a rise in politically motivated violence — including the most recent attack on the president’s life at the White House Correspondents’ dinner.
“We will not permit politically motivated violence in the United States from either side of the aisle,” he said.

How about we prosecute some Epstein Islanders first, for violating oaths of office, or violating fiduciary responsibilities in order to further the interests of their little ‘in’ group. Diddling little girls and boys can just be thrown in as bonus charges.
Armed Citizens can protect themselves against the Allahu Snackbars.
