The White House announced that the US authorities intend to use all available resources to confront leftist organizations within the United States, which it believes embrace extremist ideas and promote violence.

"We will use the full capabilities of the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, and the rest of the U.S. government to expose, disrupt, and eliminate these radical left-wing networks," said White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller, expressing his belief that they are behind"the riots, organized violence in the streets, and organized campaigns to humiliate opponents."

Miller pointed out that political activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on September 10, had warned that the US authorities must"develop a systematic strategy to confront leftist organizations that promote violence in the country."

Miller affirmed his agreement with this view and the Washington administration's determination to proceed with this plan. He added,"We will direct all our anger against the systematic campaign that led to Kirk's death to eradicate and dismantle these terrorist networks."

Charlie Kirk, 31, was shot on September 10 while giving a speech at Orem University in Utah and later died of his wounds in the hospital. Kirk was known for his conservative views and support for President Donald Trump. He had also repeatedly expressed his opposition to US military aid to Ukraine.
