Harmeet Dhillon’s blunt warning on The Chris Salcedo Show that Antifa is “scary” and poses a direct threat to our national security should have every patriotic American sitting up and paying attention. As Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights she didn’t float idle partisan rhetoric — she described real patterns of violence and intimidation that have targeted conservatives, law enforcement, and everyday citizens. When a senior Justice Department official raises the alarm, we ignore it at our peril.
This isn’t rhetorical chest-thumping from talk-radio hosts; Dhillon has a long record of confronting Antifa on behalf of victims, including high-profile legal fights that exposed how violent and lawless segments of the movement operate in our cities. Her experience representing assaulted journalists and pushing for accountability gives weight to her concerns about a decentralized, radicalized network that hides behind chaos. Conservatives who have watched the media look the other way know that these warnings are grounded in facts, not fear-mongering.
The federal government has moved beyond talk and into action, with the White House formally defining Antifa’s violent campaign and ordering agencies to investigate and dismantle illegal operations tied to the movement. This is not hyperbole — the president signed an executive order designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and directed law enforcement to use every lawful tool to stop the violence. Americans who want safe streets and functioning cities should applaud a Justice Department and White House that finally recognize the scope of the threat.
Of course, the left and much of the legacy media will gasp and wring their hands, insisting Antifa is merely a protest tactic or a “decentralized” hobby. That narrative has protected violent actors for years while cities burned and neighborhoods were terrorized. We should be skeptical of pundits who twist jargon into excuses for lawlessness; the public deserves sober truths, not spin that excuses destruction in the name of ideology.
If you think federal declarations won’t matter, remember what happens when law enforcement is handed clear authority and political cover: arrests get made, funding networks get exposed, and the chaos subsides. President Trump and his team have said they will be aggressive about this problem, and that posture is exactly what citizens in Portland, D.C., and other hard-hit areas have been begging for. It’s time to stop apologizing for order and start supporting officers who keep our communities safe.
Harmeet Dhillon is also right to call out the enablers: Big Tech platforms and sympathetic local officials who sanitize violent rhetoric and allow doxing, fundraising, and coordination to flourish online. Until we force the woke platforms to stop serving as meeting halls for domestic terror operatives, the rot will continue to spread from cyber echo chambers to real-world violence. Republicans should push pro-liberty, pro-safety reforms that protect free speech while cutting off the tools extremists use to plan and terrorize.
Patriots know that defending our country doesn’t stop at foreign borders — it begins in our streets, our schools, and our town halls. Stand with leaders like Harmeet Dhillon who are willing to call out the danger, empower law enforcement, and demand accountability from those who fund and enable political violence. If we value our families and our freedoms, now is not the time for half-measures or moral relativism; it’s the time to choose safety, order, and the rule of law.
