Trump administration's global campaign against 'radical left terrorism' built on NSPM-7 memo
The Trump administration's global campaign against what it calls 'radical left terrorism' is legally anchored in National Security Presidential Memorandum-7 (NSPM-7), issued in September 2025. The memo authorizes preemptive law enforcement measures against Americans based on political or ideological beliefs, not imminent violence. On July 16, 2026, Secretary of State Marco Rubio hosted a ministerial with representatives from over 65 countries, informally called the 'Antifa summit,' declaring an 'unprecedented global offensive.' The Justice Department has built counterterrorism task forces, the FBI established an NSPM-7 mission center, and activists have been convicted and sentenced to decades in prison. The memo was not passed by Congress and allows the president to direct agencies with little oversight. Critics note the administration accused Iran and Cuba of funding left-wing movements without providing evidence.
