The Department of Justice launched a “full investigation” into the leftist demonstrations that took place outside of a Turning Point USA event at the University of California, Berkeley, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Tuesday.
Bondi said that Antifa was behind “violent riots” at UC Berkeley on Monday after leftist agitators showed up at the venue hours before the TPUSA event began on campus, harassing conservative attendees as they lined up for the event. The investigation is being led by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, which focuses on international and domestic terrorism.
“Antifa is an existential threat to our nation. The violent riots at UC Berkeley last night are under full investigation by the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force. We will continue to spare no expense unmasking all who commit and orchestrate acts of political violence,” Bondi wrote in a post on X. “Under President Trump’s leadership, and pursuant to his Executive Order designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, the Department of Justice and our law-enforcement partners are dismantling violent networks that seek to intimidate Americans and suppress their free expression and First Amendment rights.”
Two people were arrested after a fistfight broke out between one of the agitators and a man wearing a red Turning Point USA t-shirt. One person was charged with battery, but it’s unclear if the person who was charged was one of the two men who were seen fighting.
Two more people were arrested for attempting to get past a barrier police had set up to separate protesters from attendees. Some of the agitators lit flares and shouted at the conservative attendees as they waited to enter the building, and when they left after the TPUSA event ended.
The event, which was the last stop on the “This is the Turning Point” tour, went on as planned, capping off a tour that was started by TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk on September 10 at Utah Valley University, when he was assassinated while speaking to college students.
The DOJ’s Civil Rights division is also probing the leftist demonstrations at UC Berkeley, according to Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon.
“We saw all of this at Berkeley back in 2017. @UCBerkeley was sued, and settled the case. 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 wrote on X.
UC Berkeley, which has long been one of the most liberal universities in the United States, was at the center of violent demonstrations when leftist groups protested right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos’ planned speech in 2017. Dhillon brought some of the legal challenges against the university that same year over the free speech case.
“In America, we do not allow citizens to be attacked by violent thugs and shrug and turn our backs,” Dhillon added. “Been there, done that, not on our watch.”
President Donald Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization in September, calling it “a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law.”

It’s time to start deporting the primitive, subhuman, far lefties. Their sperm and egg donors raised them wrong.
Has Bondi ever prosecuted an ex or current Democrat government official?
But the assassination of TPUSA’s founder and CEO? Nothing to see here! Move along! We’ve got our patsy under lock and key.
“Has Bondi ever prosecuted an ex or current Democrat government official?.”
There have been indictments.
Look it up.
L
Time to turn up the heat. 6 a.m. raid on Alex Soros.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe they have it under lock and key so they can go after the bigger fish pushing this out. Probably not is my guess.
A Republican investigating a thing that’s been going on for a decade? Seems familiar. Harmeet Dhillon meanwhile has sent sternly worded letters to Berkley. Also familiar.
Did no one think since the CK assassination that maybe they should be paying close attention to every TPUSA event? Boots on the ground at every one? Seems the FBI had plenty of resources when going after J6ers, after seeding J6 with agents, but now can’t put a few boots on the ground at Berkely, known for their allowed attacks on any conservative who goes there?
I know Kash is kinda busy with defending his girlfriend from mean words but maybe he could delegate others for this.
“”””Did no one think since the CK assassination that maybe they should be paying close attention to every TPUSA event?”””
Did you ever think that maybe they did and didn’t call you to let you know. How rude to not even send you a text.
So they stood around and let conservatives be attacked at Berkley yet again? Sure thing pal.
