The Trump administration is preparing a major crackdown against NGOs, left-wing activists and what it calls “terrorist networks” advocating violence against conservatives after the assassination of key Donald Trump ally Charlie Kirk.
It comes as FBI director Kash Patel revealed investigators had matched DNA traces from a towel wrapped around the gun allegedly used in the crime to the suspect in custody, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson – as well as DNA traces from a screwdriver found at the crime scene.
Vice President J.D. Vance, a close friend of Kirk’s, hosted the slain activist’s radio show on Monday and invited a stream of White House figures to pay tribute to the 31-year-old.
In one conversation, Vance asked Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller to outline the actions the two of them had been working on since the assassination to combat political violence.
“You have crazies on the far-left who are saying, ‘Stephen Miller and J.D. Vance, they’re going to go after constitutionally protected speech’,” Vance said. “No, no, no. We’re going to go after the NGO network that foments, facilitates and engages in violence. That’s not OK. Violence is not OK in our system.”
