WASHINGTON — For years, the radical leftist group Antifa has doxxed and harassed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents across the United States. Now, the United States is fighting back against the hub of this global harassment campaign.
The State Department on Wednesday <a href="https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesperson/2026/08/designation-of-autistici-inventati-as-a-specially-designated-global-terrorist/">named</a> Autistici/Inventati a Specially Designated Global Terrorist group, The Daily Wire can first report. A/I, as the State Department has nicknamed the group, is linked to notorious Antifa groups in the United States like Rose City Antifa, Stop Cop City, and Against Beltway Fascism, all of which have doxxed and harassed ICE and Homeland Security employees, as well as top conservative organizations like The Heritage Foundation.
Autistici/Inventati presents itself as an Italian technology collective offering privacy-focused tools to help activists and social movements. In reality, the group creates a digital infrastructure for Antifa groups in the United States and around the world, a State Department official shared with The Daily Wire, hosted on websites with the name &#8220;noblogs.org.&#8221; Those groups harass, doxx, and commit violence against their targets, who are often conservative or oppose far-left causes.
One such group is Rose City Antifa. The notorious Portland, Oregon group has doxxed at least five ICE agents and leaked the home addresses of three of those agents on an Autistici/Inventati website, which the State Department shared exclusively with The Daily Wire. Rose City Antifa also disseminated propaganda calling on far-left actors to &#8220;attack ICE everywhere,&#8221; in &#8220;the streets, at their homes,&#8221; and to &#8220;find each other, make plans, and hit them where it hurts.&#8221;
Noblogs websites are designed to give these groups as much anonymity and encryption as possible. They are hosted on servers and outright built by members of the Autistici/Inventati collective, a State Department official shared. Now, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has designated Autistici/Inventati as a terrorist organization.
&#8220;Today, the United States sanctioned several transnational far-left terrorist networks, including Autistici/Inventati — a major far-left tech collective whose services are used by the most active and violent Antifa cells in the United States and across the world,&#8221; Rubio said Wednesday.
&#8220;There will be no refuge for violent extremists who wage war on our civilization and plot to undermine law and order, destroy critical infrastructure, assault political opponents, or conspire to conceal their crimes from authorities,&#8221; he vowed. &#8220;We will use all the tools and authorities at our disposal to fight terrorism and protect our way of life from terrorist coercion.&#8221;

Another group in the network is Stop Cop City/Scenes from the Atlanta Forest, which is hosted on a noblogs website. Stop Cop City leaked the business addresses of companies that were contracted to work on the 85-acre police, fire, and emergency training campus, the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, and the names and addresses of the company&#8217;s owners, which the State Department shared. It also doxxed, threatened, and intimidated a number of police officers, government officials, business owners, and private citizens who it suspected were involved in constructing the center.
Against Beltway Fascism doxxed Heritage Foundation staff, leadership, and trustees after illegally obtaining their names and addresses, as well as the authors of Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation-led policy blueprint for the second Trump administration.
The anti-ICE group Unravel leaked information on 48 ICE and DHS officers, publishing their names, addresses, and other personal information that had been illegally obtained, according to the State Department. Boston Melt also shared the personal information of ICE and DHS officers, including photos of the officers&#8217; license plates.
Philly Anti-Capitalist doxxed the CEO of Ghost Robotics, Gavin Kenneally, publishing his home and office addresses and then claiming responsibility for the subsequent damage to his property. Revolutionary Anarchist Liberation Front doxxed the co-founder of an artificial intelligence firm in Montreal and then claimed responsibility for the firebomb attack on that co-founder&#8217;s home and corporate office, the State Department shared.
Autistici/Inventati&#8217;s terrorist designation could carry implications for the Antifa groups whose website it hosts, as well as anyone who wants to support them.
When anti-Trump political commentator Brian Krassenstein posted Wednesday encouraging his audience to donate to Autistici/Inventati, saying that they stand for &#8220;antiracism, antifascism, antisexism, antimilitarism, and opposition to authoritarianism and hierarchies,&#8221; a State Department official was quick to point out that this constituted a grave federal crime.
&#8220;Donating money to a specially designated global terrorist is a federal crime,&#8221; said Assistant Secretary of State for Global Public Affairs Dylan Johnson. &#8220;You can be prosecuted and sentenced to 20 years in federal prison and fined up to $1 million. So, maybe talk to a lawyer before listening to this moron.&#8221;

The State Department has temporarily paused all immigrant visa appointments for applicants across the globe.
The federal government said it made the decision because it needs time to train all consular staff to better screen visa applicants to determine whether they are likely to become dependent on the American welfare system, the Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2026/08/26/state-dept-pauses-immigrant-visa-appointments-worldwide-says-staff-need-training/">reported</a> on Wednesday. It is not clear when the appointments will restart.
&#8220;A more prosperous America means ensuring that visa applicants are not likely to become a public charge, as defined under U.S. law and regulation, and not likely to become dependent on U.S. public benefits reserved for qualified Americans in need,&#8221; the State Department said in a statement.
The department said the training would ensure consular officers &#8220;are fully equipped to evaluate every visa applicant comprehensively and consistently.&#8221; The pause is not expected to affect visas for tourists, foreign workers, or students, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/u-s-state-department-pauses-immigrant-visa-applications-25b31b23">according</a> to The Wall Street Journal.
Last Friday, a federal judge struck down the Trump administration&#8217;s 75-country visa ban that sought to target those looking to take advantage of taxpayer-funded public benefits.
U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas, who was appointed by President Joe Biden, said the 75-country policy  &#8220;represents a direct abrogation&#8221; of the consular officers&#8217; authority to determine which foreigners are eligible for visas.
The latest move comes as the Trump administration has taken recent actions to reform legal immigration programs.
As part of the effort, the federal government has revoked roughly 175,000 visas tied to individuals accused or convicted of crimes.
Federal officials are <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-readies-for-largest-mass-visa-revocation-effort?author=Jennie+Taer&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Admin+Prepares+To+Revoke+More+Visas+Than+Ever+Before">preparing</a> to revoke the business and tourist visas of up to 200,000 foreigners who later sought asylum in the United States. The targets of the plan received their visas between 2016 and 2026.
In an X post on Monday, Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau voiced the administration’s concerns about immigrants who game the visa system to extend their stay in the United States by later applying for asylum.
&#8220;People in the US and all over the world are fed up with bogus asylum claims. Asylum isn’t supposed to be a loophole to circumvent immigration laws; rather, it’s supposed to provide a narrow safe harbor for persons persecuted because of their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion,&#8221; Landau wrote.
The Trump administration also recently proposed a $103,265 fee for employers looking to hire employees through the H-1B visa program, arguing that employers have abused the program to replace American workers with cheaper foreign labor and that the existing system fails to prioritize the most highly skilled workers.
It is the administration&#8217;s second attempt at instituting a six-figure fee for the program after a federal judge struck down a previous plan to charge a $100,000 fee.

Rose City Antifa, one of the oldest and most active Antifa organizations in America, relied on the same foreign technology collective that provided digital infrastructure to groups connected to Hamas, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hezbollah, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, according to a recently released State Department memo.
The memo was first reported by <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/exclusive-state-dept-reveals-portland-antifa-connection-hamas-irans-irgc-sweeping-terror-action">Fox News</a> on Wednesday as the Trump administration escalated its campaign against what it describes as transnational far-Left terrorism. 
The State Department designated the Italy-based Autistici/Inventati, known as the A/I Collective, as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist and accused the group of providing encrypted communications, web hosting, secure video conferencing, streaming and anonymity services to violent extremist organizations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the collective’s services were used by “the most active and violent Antifa cells in the United States and across the world.”
“Far-Left terrorism poses a profound threat to the United States and the broader West,” Rubio wrote on X. “There will be no refuge for violent extremists who wage war on our civilization and plot to undermine law and order, destroy critical infrastructure, assault political opponents, or conspire to conceal their crimes from authorities.”

— Secretary Marco Rubio (@SecRubio) <a href="https://x.com/SecRubio/status/2092620708744491201?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 26, 2026</a></blockquote>
The State Department memo specifically identifies Portland-based Rose City Antifa as one of the American groups that used A/I Collective infrastructure. The group, which has operated in Portland, Oregon, for almost two decades, has been repeatedly associated with violent clashes, property destruction, and attacks on law enforcement. The city has long been a major center of Antifa activity, including during the 2020 George Floyd riots and more recent confrontations over immigration enforcement.
According to the State Department, Rose City Antifa used A/I Collective tools to organize and encourage violent and criminal activity, including distributing a flyer encouraging supporters to aim lasers at Customs and Border Protection (CBP) helicopters. The memo says at least one person responded to the call and later pleaded guilty to aiming a laser at a CBP helicopter, forcing the aircraft to abort a planned landing. Rose City Antifa also allegedly used the infrastructure to disseminate personal information about Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel and encourage attacks against ICE agents both at their homes and in public.
But the Portland group&#8217;s connection to the A/I Collective extends into a much broader international network. The State Department says the same technology infrastructure was used by a media organization to disseminate information to terrorist organizations Hamas, Hezbollah, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and the PFLP. The A/I Collective reportedly operates thousands of digital services, including roughly 16,000 mailboxes, 1,500 websites, 5,500 mailing lists, and 10,000 blogs. The State Department says its services have been used by extremists to distribute propaganda, information on targets, tactical manuals, and claims of responsibility for attacks. The collective also allegedly tests users for Left-wing alignment before allowing them access to services, according to the State Department.
The designation represents another step in the Trump administration&#8217;s broader effort to treat violent far-Left networks as a counterterrorism problem rather than just a domestic protest movement. President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-designates-antifa-a-major-terrorist-organization">designated</a> Antifa a domestic terrorist organization in 2025 following a series of violent confrontations involving activists and federal immigration authorities. The administration has since pursued terrorism charges against alleged Antifa militants involved in an armed attack on an ICE detention facility in Texas and has pushed international governments to cooperate against what it describes as transnational political extremism.
The administration&#8217;s focus has increasingly extended beyond individual violent actors to the infrastructure supporting them. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned Wednesday that the administration would target those who provide financial and logistical support to violent far-Left groups. 
“Far-Left extremists, their fronts, and their enablers should be on notice: We will bring the full weight of our economic tools to bear,” Bessent told Fox News. “Political terrorism has no place in our society, and we will continue to cut the financial lifelines of these groups until they are eliminated.”
Rubio said the administration would continue using its counterterrorism and economic authorities against the networks. 
“We will use all the tools and authorities at our disposal to fight terrorism and protect our way of life from terrorist coercion,” Rubio said.

The Trump administration is preparing to revoke up to 200,000 visas issued to foreigners who later sought asylum in the United States, part of an effort to crack down on what officials say is abuse of the immigration system, The Associated Press reported Monday.
The State Department is expected to announce the effort soon, targeting foreigners with B1 and B2 business and tourist visas issued between 2016 and 2026 who later applied for asylum, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-rubio-visas-revoke-e9c14fdfd0ada439d2b9d8694e678a46?utm_source=app&amp;utm_medium=iOS_share&amp;utm_campaign=email#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the AP. The administration says some foreigners are obtaining temporary visas under false pretenses and then using the asylum process to remain in the United States.
&#8220;We are coordinating with DHS to identify and revoke the nonimmigrant visas of foreigners who have come to the United States claiming to be short-term visitors, but then file for asylum to stay here permanently,&#8221; State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said in a statement to the AP.
Pigott did not reveal the exact number of foreigners the State Department is hoping to target, saying &#8220;as the process will be ongoing, the number of revocations remains dynamic and will be done on a rolling basis.&#8221;
Revoking the visas would not necessarily result in immediate deportation, the AP reported. Instead, some pending asylum applications would be shifted from the affirmative asylum process to the defensive process, meaning the applicants would make their asylum cases before immigration judges while facing removal proceedings.
In an X post Monday, Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau outlined the administration&#8217;s concerns about immigrants who officials say abuse the visa system and later apply for asylum to extend their stay in the United States. Many foreigners overstay their visas and use the years-long asylum adjudication process to remain in the country beyond their welcome.
&#8220;People in the US and all over the world are fed up with bogus asylum claims. Asylum isn’t supposed to be a loophole to circumvent immigration laws; rather, it’s supposed to provide a narrow safe harbor for persons persecuted because of their “race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion,&#8221; Landau wrote.
Since President Donald Trump&#8217;s return to the White House, the administration has taken a series of steps to tighten restrictions on legal immigration programs. In doing so, officials have revoked roughly 175,000 visas tied to individuals accused or convicted of crimes.
As part of the latest initiative, federal officials have sought to target birth tourism schemes coaching foreigners on how to fraudulently obtain visas in order to give birth in the United States.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden&#8217;s State Department taught diplomats how to discuss &#8220;systemic racism&#8221; and &#8220;white privilege&#8221; in foreign languages, encouraging U.S. diplomats to push other countries to mirror the Biden administration&#8217;s woke ideological stances on race and immigration, The Daily Wire has learned.
The Biden administration&#8217;s efforts included creating a &#8220;DEI Toolkit&#8221; for Foreign Service language instructors that contained trainings on &#8220;Black Lives Matter,&#8221; &#8220;white privilege,&#8221; and &#8220;systemic racism&#8221; in foreign languages, according to materials examined by The Daily Wire.
The Trump State Department is focused on reforming the Foreign Service, encouraging patriotic Americans to join the service, putting an end to leftist trainings pushed by the Biden administration and refocusing on &#8220;American history, diplomatic tradecraft, and the tangible skills that empower the Foreign Service to deliver results for the American people,&#8221; a spokesman shared.
Instead of focusing trainings on Black Lives Matter and DEI, an official shared, new Trump administration Foreign Service trainings include the topics: &#8220;Why Are You Here? Mission and Vision in a Career of Service,&#8221; or &#8220;The Need for Grand Strategy,&#8221; &#8220;Theories of Foreign Policy,&#8221; &#8220;Protecting American Citizens Abroad: Emergencies and Evacuations,&#8221; and &#8220;America Founding Principles: Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights, Federalist Papers.&#8221;
“America’s diplomats are called to advocate for the national interests of the United States on the world stage – not advance extreme anti-American dogmas,&#8221; State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott told The Daily Wire. &#8220;Fringe divisive ideological dogma has no places in Foreign Service training.”
Materials reviewed by The Daily Wire show that under the former president, State Department Foreign Service language instructors were tasked with teaching &#8220;Black Lives Matter&#8221; concepts in Bangla, or Bengali, primarily spoken in South Asia.
That training suggested role-playing a scenario in which a video is presented to a Bengali class discussing white supremacy, racism, and discrimination, as well as &#8220;the linguistic and cultural barriers that make it difficult to broach these topics with the Bangladeshi American community.&#8221; The video referenced the country&#8217;s &#8220;renewed reckoning with systemic racism and its coercive effect on the public institutions.&#8221;
<div id="attachment_1156301" style="width: 905px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-heres-how-bidens-diplomats-pushed-woke-ideology-in-foreign-countries/president-biden-meets-with-his-cabinet-at-the-white-house-3" rel="attachment wp-att-1156301"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1156301" class="wp-image-1156301 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/GettyImages-2173386735-895x576.jpg" alt="" width="895" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/GettyImages-2173386735-895x576.jpg 895w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/GettyImages-2173386735-300x193.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/GettyImages-2173386735-768x494.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/GettyImages-2173386735.jpg 1024w" sizes=" (max-width: 895px) 100vw, 895px" /></a>U.S. President Joe Biden presides over a cabinet meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and others at the White House on September 20, 2024. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)</div>
The training&#8217;s vocabulary list included words such as racism, activism, affirmative action, discrimination, equal opportunity, equality, inequality, implicit bias, unconscious bias, systemic racism, white privilege, marginalization, police brutality, and violation of human rights.
Foreign service officers engaged in the training were asked to role play multiple choice questions with their students, discussing recent protests spurred by the death of George Floyd, highlighting the &#8220;importance of addressing racism at the institutional and individual levels,&#8221; to &#8220;control key vocabulary related to DEIC themes in the US in the target language,&#8221; and to use the Bangla language to share personal stories about how racism affects the United States, as well as &#8220;slavery&#8217;s enduring legacy.&#8221;
In one scenario, those taking the class would watch a video on BLM and then react to the following statement: &#8220;Your house is burning in a fire. The fire department comes and everyone tries to save your house. But I live next door and I&#8217;m saying, &#8216;Why aren&#8217;t you checking my house, my house matters also.'&#8221;
Then students would be asked to choose whether this exemplified systemic racism, white privilege, or implicit bias.
Another training focused on Black Lives Matter and systemic racism for those who speak Urdu, spoken primarily in Pakistan but also in parts of India and the Middle East. That section asked students to &#8220;reflect more deeply&#8221; about BLM and to make connections between &#8220;idealized&#8221; U.S. policy positions related to BLM and the &#8220;actual lived experiences of BLM in the US and the host country.&#8221; This group would also heavily focus on the death of George Floyd in the &#8220;target language&#8221; of Urdu.
A Hebrew section on &#8220;Race and Racism&#8221; tasked students with imagining that they are hosting an event at a library in Tel Aviv to discuss race and diversity in the United States and Israel. In this fictional scenario, they invited several colleagues from the Israeli Embassy to discuss current topics such as &#8220;Black Lives Matter&#8221; and immigration as well as a panel of &#8220;diverse Israelis.&#8221;
<div id="attachment_1156309" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-heres-how-bidens-diplomats-pushed-woke-ideology-in-foreign-countries/atlanta-protest-over-police-custody-death-of-george-floyd-4" rel="attachment wp-att-1156309"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1156309" class="wp-image-1156309 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/GettyImages-1216237394.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/GettyImages-1216237394.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/GettyImages-1216237394-300x200.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/GettyImages-1216237394-864x576.jpg 864w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/08/GettyImages-1216237394-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes=" (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a>A man holds a Black Lives Matter sign as a police car burns during a protest on May 29, 2020 in Atlanta, Georgia.  (Photo by Elijah Nouvelage/Getty Images)</div>
The Foreign Service officers would also be asked to role play situations involving race and racism. More training materials reviewed by The Daily Wire asked the officers to pretend they are hosting an event in another country while &#8220;the killing of an African American citizen by the police is all over the news.&#8221;
&#8220;While you were not planning to discuss &#8216;Black Lives Matter&#8217; in the U.S. you find yourself in a position to discuss race and diversity in the U.S. and host country,&#8221; the materials state. &#8220;You have invited several colleagues from the Embassy as well.&#8221;
In that role-playing scenario, the Foreign Service officer would be tasked with identifying solutions to racism in the United States and then asking their peers if their home country has similar issues related to minorities and how their government could improve racism in their own country.
The materials given to Biden administration State Department employees also included a vocabulary list instructing the diplomats on how to discuss hot button topics like BLM and immigration. Diplomats were asked not to refer to illegal aliens as &#8220;illegal,&#8221; for example, but instead to refer to them as &#8220;undocumented persons.&#8221;
&#8220;This is a problematic term often used in U.S. political discourse that many find dehumanizing, as it reduces individuals to their immigration status and implies undocumented immigrants are inferior and do not belong,&#8221; reads State Department documents shared with The Daily Wire.
Those documents also define privilege as &#8220;a right, immunity, or benefit enjoyed only by a person beyond the advantages of most,&#8221; and additionally, &#8220;unearned social power accorded by the formal and informal institutions of society to ALL members of a dominant group.&#8221;
&#8220;Privilege is usually invisible to those who have it because we are taught not to see it, but nevertheless it puts them at an advantage over those who do not have it.&#8221;

Secretary of State Marco Rubio took a moment during a recent podcast interview to weight the merits of &#8220;Sharknado&#8221; vs. &#8220;Jaws,&#8221; laughing as he warned the host she&#8217;d never be able to air the clip: &#8220;This thing&#8217;s off the rails.&#8221;
Rubio and his wife Jeanette sat down with podcast host Katie Miller — wife of White House adviser Stephen Miller — for a wide-ranging interview, and the conversation turned to a visit from a nephew and his choice of movie.
&#8220;I have a little nephew who was visiting us here yesterday,&#8221; Rubio explained, and said that he&#8217;d jumped to the rescue when the boy had asked if they could watch &#8220;Jaws&#8221; together. &#8220;I said I have an even better movie than &#8216;Jaws,&#8217; &#8216;Jaws&#8217; is boring. &#8216;Sharknado.'&#8221;
Miller laughed as Jeanette shook her head: &#8220;Oh, my gosh, it was such a ridiculous movie! Such a ridiculous — who puts that — for kids?&#8221;
&#8220;Where the hurricane brings the shark to the shore?&#8221; Miller asked.
&#8220;It was awful,&#8221; Jeanette added, but she continued to laugh as Rubio described the movie.
&#8220;There&#8217;s a &#8216;Sharknado,&#8217; I think it&#8217;s number three, that&#8217;s in Washington, D.C., and the sharks are in the White House and there&#8217;s a president that&#8217;s shooting at them and all that — which all sounds crazy, but now you can see — actually, there&#8217;s a scene where the sharks are in the reflecting pool!&#8221; the secretary of State said, getting increasingly animated and prompting more laughter from Miller and his wife. &#8220;In the &#8216;Sharknado&#8217; movie, and this is ten years ago.&#8221;
&#8220;So I&#8217;m like, man, I gotta show this to the president,&#8221; Rubio laughed. &#8220;You know, we might have a feature here for people. Can you imagine? If we put sharks in the reflecting pool. Oh, gosh. Anyway.&#8221;
&#8220;This whole thing&#8217;s off the rails,&#8221; Rubio said to his wife — and then turned to Miller, adding, &#8220;You&#8217;re not going to be able to even air this thing.&#8221;

The Trump administration on Friday condemned Spain&#8217;s immigration policies and weighed possible retaliation after tens of thousands of migrants stormed across the Moroccan border into the Spanish territory of Ceuta. 
In a statement, the <a href="https://x.com/StateDept/status/2083197495119626476?s=20">U.S. State Department</a> accused Spain&#8217;s leftist government of facilitating mass illegal immigration, saying its policies fueled the chaos that spiraled into hours of anarchy and left dozens of migrants dead.
“The United States stands with the people of Spain, and all Europeans, against this egregious violation of their sovereignty and human rights,” the State Department said. “This unacceptable incident is the direct result of the Spanish Government&#8217;s deliberate efforts to enable and facilitate mass illegal migration into Europe.”
“We are considering actions to defend Americans at home and abroad from this threat and stand ready to assist other European allies considering similar options,” the federal agency added. 
In damage control, Spain&#8217;s Ministry of the Interior said more than 25,000 migrants have been deported back to Morocco, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/spain-ceuta-morocco-migrants-border-crossings/">according to CBS News</a>. The leftist government also claimed authorities were removing roughly 150 migrants per minute. 
The Daily Wire could not independently verify those figures.
Earlier on Friday, President Trump weighed in on the controversy, which had sparked an international outcry, warning Americans that similar scenes could unfold in the United States if the balance of power shifted.
“It’s terrible. Remember that picture. That’s going to be us in three years if the wrong side gets in,” Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-issues-grim-warning-for-america-as-europe-reels-from-massive-migrant-invasion?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Trump+Issues+Grim+Warning+For+America+As+Europe+Reels+From+Massive+Migrant+Invasion">said</a> during a phone interview with Fox News. “If the Democrats get in, you will not live a very good life.”
On social media, the White House echoed Trump&#8217;s argument, <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/2083199361316524348?s=20">posting a video</a> of a seemingly quiet and secure U.S.-Mexico southern border.
&#8220;While hordes of Third World migrants storm Spain&#8217;s territory, the United States&#8217; borders are locked down at levels never seen before. President Trump inherited a similar invasion to what Spain is facing, and he stopped it on Day One,&#8221; an official White House page posted on X.
Trump’s comments came after around 50,000 migrants rushed across the border into Ceuta, a Spanish territory on the tip of Morocco, bringing widespread chaos and unrest. At least <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/34-dead-after-tens-of-thousands-of-migrants-invade-spain">34 people died</a> as thousands of migrants, mostly young men, attempted to swim or force their way into Ceuta. 
The brazen invasion appeared almost seamless, with migrants encountering virtually no resistance. One military-aged man went viral on social media after recording himself with a <a href="https://x.com/visegrad24/status/2083138726314594810?s=20">selfie stick as he swam</a> to Ceuta to illegally enter Spain.
The migrants, emboldened by the lax immigration policies of leftist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, brought chaos to the streets of Ceuta, causing fear among locals who were overwhelmed by the flood. 
Migrant Ajoub el-Arrot <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07/31/world/spain-ceuta-migrants-morocco">told</a> The New York Times that he was surprised at the lack of resistance. 
“I don’t know why they let us through. Maybe they had some political reason,” he said. “They opened the border and let everyone go by.”

WASHINGTON — The State Department is issuing another 250,000 &#8220;Patriot Passports&#8221; imbued with a portrait of President Donald Trump due to &#8220;overwhelming demand,&#8221; The Daily Wire can first report.
The move to make the passports available nationwide comes in response to huge demand for the passports after their limited release for America&#8217;s 250th anniversary, a State Department official shared, noting that the commemorative passport has generated &#8220;extraordinary public interest.&#8221;
“Americans have shown tremendous enthusiasm for the America 250 commemorative passport, and we&#8217;re proud to expand access nationwide as our country prepares to celebrate 250 years of independence,” spokesman Tommy Pigott told The Daily Wire.
Democrat lawmakers <a href="https://www.king.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/king-colleagues-demand-answers-on-special-edition-politicized-us-passport-featuring-trumps-portrait#:~:text=The%20Senators%20also%20emphasized%20how%20unprecedented%20it,the%20sitting%20president%20in%20such%20a%20way.%E2%80%9D">had expressed horror</a> at the initial release of the passports, with senators launching a formal inquiry into Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the alleged &#8220;politicization&#8221; of the passports.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a scary day in America when an actual king behaves more democratically than the president of the United States,&#8221; wrote Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), known for his visit to El Salvador to meet with deported illegal immigrant Kilmar Ábrego García.
Democrat California Rep. Mike Levin posted angrily about how Trump&#8217;s &#8220;signature in gold&#8221; is &#8220;superimposed over the Declaration of Independence, a document literally written to get away from this exact behavior.&#8221;
&#8220;No sitting president has ever done this,&#8221; he said in a social media post. &#8220;Coins, park passes, battleships, and now your passport. The man cannot find a surface he will not slap his name or face on. This is not patriotism. It is vanity.&#8221;

The State Department and Trump administration appeared to ignore this backlash (Trump said in a June Truth Social post that the new passport says &#8220;Welcome, but be good!&#8221;) and are now rolling out even more of the passports.
“This commemorative passport is a meaningful way for Americans to carry a symbol of our nation&#8217;s history and enduring spirit as they travel the world,&#8221; Pigott explained. &#8220;By expanding the program, we&#8217;re giving more Americans the opportunity to take part in this historic milestone and celebrate the values that have made the United States the greatest nation in the world for nearly 250 years.”
Americans who wish to obtain one of these <a href="https://travel.state.gov/passport250">passports</a> can attend application events at passport agencies and centers across the country. The commemorative passports will include a portrait of the president next to the text of the Declaration of Independence, a Freedom 250 gold flag, and a picture of the Founding Fathers signing the Declaration.
The first passport events will be held at agencies in Chicago, Colorado, Connecticut, Dallas, Detroit, Minneapolis, New Orleans, and New York, a State Department official shared.

Just before dawn on Tuesday, hundreds of Iranians gathered in Isfahan hoping to stop two young men from being hanged. Instead, security forces violently dispersed the crowd and publicly executed 25-year-old Abolfazl Sepahi Badjani and 28-year-old Amirhossein Safari Hosseinabadi.
Both men were convicted on charges stemming from clashes that Iranian authorities say resulted in the deaths of four security officers. Human rights groups say the men were sentenced after proceedings marred by allegations of torture, forced confessions, and closed-door trials. 
The executions stem from the nationwide uprising that began in late December after a currency collapse, soaring inflation, and worsening living conditions sparked protests across Iran. Iranian regime forces responded with a sweeping crackdown that included internet shutdowns, mass arrests, and the widespread use of lethal force. 
The executions, which reportedly took place at 3:40 a.m. local time, coinciding with the morning call to prayer, came despite last-minute appeals from United Nations experts, international human rights organizations, and the State Department.
Days before the hangings, State Department Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor Riley Barnes condemned Iran&#8217;s execution campaign, saying the United States stood with &#8220;brave young Iranians who dared to raise their voices&#8221; and calling on the regime to release political prisoners and stop executing individuals for peacefully exercising their fundamental rights.
President Donald Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116958077127443735">has continued </a>to call out the treatment of protesters and the executions, including last week, when he shared a graphic about the execution of another January protester, 23-year-old Gol-Mohammad Mohammadi. 
&#8220;The latest one of 52,000, plus, innocent protesters. Savages!!! When will the Dumocrats wake up??? Trump posted.
Human rights groups have not verified Trump&#8217;s figure of 52,000 protesters killed, though Amnesty International and U.N. officials have estimated that several thousand were killed during the regime&#8217;s January crackdown. Iran has acknowledged that 3,117 people were killed.
Rather than silencing dissent, the executions appeared to galvanize it for the first time since January.
Videos posted by <a href="https://www.rferl.org/a/iran-isfahan-protests-demonstration-execution-prison-human-rights/33816596.html">Radio Free Europe</a> showed crowds gathering in Isfahan to demonstrate during the executions, with demonstrators chanting &#8220;Without honor!&#8221; while security forces maintained a heavy presence.

Iranian Demonstrators Protest State Executions In Isfahan

<script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<a href="https://www.iranintl.com/en/202607283664">Videos</a> shared by Iran International showed residents gathering overnight in hopes of stopping the executions before authorities dispersed the crowd.
Messages sent to Iran International from Bandar Abbas, Pardis, Khomein, and other cities described a country grieving but increasingly determined to continue resisting the Islamic Republic. Many said they stayed awake until morning hoping the executions would be called off.
&#8220;We wished until sunrise that morning would never come to Isfahan,&#8221; one person wrote.
&#8220;The people of Isfahan showed that when the next call comes, millions across the country will return to the streets,&#8221; one resident of Bandar Abbas said.
Another reaction shared by the outlet echoed that sentiment: &#8220;Did you think executing our brothers and sisters would make us retreat or become afraid? It has only made us more determined.&#8221;
The two men were among 12 defendants sentenced to death in what has become known as the Alikhani Square case, which stems from the January anti-government protests in Isfahan. They are reportedly accused of arson, vandalism, killing four security personnel, and “waging war on God.”
According to the Oslo-based <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/28/prisoners-iran-largest-jail-sew-lips-shut-hunger-strike-executions-soar">Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO)</a> organization, 62 people were initially arrested in connection with the incident and subjected to months of interrogation, during which rights groups allege many were tortured. 
Ahead of the executions, U.N. experts led by Special Rapporteur <a href="https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2026/07/un-experts-urge-iran-quash-death-sentences-12-protesters-single-hearing-halt">Mai Sato</a> urged Iranian authorities to halt the executions and claimed sentencing all 12 defendants to death in a single closed-door proceeding violated internationally recognized fair trial standards. The experts said the convictions relied heavily on televised confessions, while hearings were held behind closed doors and judgments were never made public. 
IHRNGO also alleged that some defendants were tried remotely from prison without lawyers present and that Iranian state television later aired forced confessions as part of a propaganda documentary. The organization also says families of death row prisoners are routinely threatened and coerced into remaining silent about their loved ones&#8217; cases.
According to IHRNGO, at least 26 protesters have been executed in connection with the December 2025–January 2026 uprising, including Sepahi and Safari, and more than 70 additional protesters remain at risk of execution in Isfahan&#8217;s Dastgerd Central Prison.
Even behind prison walls, resistance has continued. Hundreds of death row inmates at Ghezel Hesar Prison near Tehran have joined a mass hunger strike to protest Iran&#8217;s escalating use of the death penalty, reported The Guardian. According to Iranian rights groups, at least 1,500 prisoners have participated in the strike, which began after six men convicted on drug-related charges were transferred to solitary confinement ahead of possible executions. 
Videos shared by rights groups show prisoners holding signs reading &#8220;No to Executions&#8221; and chanting, &#8220;Be our voice.&#8221; 
In one video, a prisoner is seen sewing his lips shut after he said prison officials ignored the protest for days. 
According to <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/28/prisoners-iran-largest-jail-sew-lips-shut-hunger-strike-executions-soar">IHRNGO</a>, at least 424 people have been executed in Iran so far this year. The organization documented 795 executions in 2025, the highest annual total in years. 
While many of those executions involved drug-related offenses, rights groups say the Islamic Republic has increasingly used capital punishment against political dissidents and protesters in the months following the January anti-government uprising, with many convictions allegedly secured through torture and forced confessions. 
Iran Human Rights Director Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam condemned Tuesday&#8217;s hangings, calling public executions &#8220;a cruel form of state terror&#8221; intended to instill fear and deter future protests. 
&#8220;By resorting once again to the medieval practice of public hangings, the Islamic Republic is trying to instill fear throughout society and deter future protests,&#8221; Amiry-Moghaddam said. &#8220;Public executions are a cruel form of state terror that the international community must not tolerate.&#8221; 
<a href="https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2026/07/iran-lack-of-international-justice-six-months-after-january-protest-massacres-risks-further-atrocity-crimes/">Amnesty International </a>warned that the international community&#8217;s failure to hold Tehran accountable for its crackdown risks emboldening further abuses.
“The international community’s failure to pursue international justice for these serious crimes has emboldened the Iranian authorities to threaten further mass killings by ‘trigger-ready’ security forces targeting protesters and dissidents they label as ‘enemies.’” Diana Eltahawy, Deputy Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa at Amnesty International, said.

The Democratic Socialists of America are raising money to send members to Cuba so they can learn how to &#8220;dismantle [the] U.S. empire.&#8221;
The group set up the “Venceremos Fund,” named after a slogan popularized by Fidel Castro that translates to “We will overcome,” to raise money for the trips. The DSA has sent two <a href="https://www.dsausa.org/news/oct2025_npc_newsletter/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">delegations</a> to learn about what the organization calls “the achievements and challenges of Cuban socialism.” 
&nbsp;

According to the DSA, two delegations have already traveled to Cuba, including one this past October that included about 40 chapter leaders and rank-and-file members.
During the five-day visit, delegates met with <a href="https://reformandrevolution.org/2024/02/17/cuba-between-imperialism-and-socialism/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">leaders</a> of Cuba&#8217;s Communist Party, learning how the country&#8217;s one-party government drafts legislation, selects representatives, and conducts its parliamentary proceedings.
The DSA says the trips are designed to counter what it describes as American misinformation about Cuba.
&#8220;One of the most powerful ways to counter U.S. propaganda about Cuba is to see the country firsthand,&#8221; the organization said. &#8220;These delegations are crucial in dispelling misinformation, strengthening our movement, and equipping participants with the knowledge to advocate for change back home.&#8221;
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1142285" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-23-at-3.16.32-PM.png" alt="" width="1130" height="652" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-23-at-3.16.32-PM.png 1130w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-23-at-3.16.32-PM-300x173.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-23-at-3.16.32-PM-998x576.png 998w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-23-at-3.16.32-PM-768x443.png 768w" sizes=" (max-width: 1130px) 100vw, 1130px" /></div>
After returning to the United States, participants hosted a webinar to share what they learned after meeting with Cuban workers, students, and officials about &#8220;the challenges and achievements of Cuban socialism under the U.S. blockade.&#8221; 
The DSA also <a href="https://international.dsausa.org/cuba-solidarity/our-work/">advocates</a> removing Cuba from the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism list, ending travel and trade restrictions, building relationships between American and Cuban labor unions, and sending humanitarian aid to the island.
The organization&#8217;s outreach to Cuba is not new. A DSA delegation also traveled there in 2023, where members reportedly held a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20251016213647/https://through.blog/2023/11/09/cuba-diaries/">two-hour private meeting</a> with Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel.
One delegate, Maria Franzblau, acknowledged Cuba&#8217;s food, medicine, and fuel shortages but argued those problems should be viewed in the context of being located &#8220;90 miles away from the most powerful capitalist empire in the world.&#8221;
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has argued that Cuba&#8217;s outreach to American leftists, including Hasan Piker, reflects a strategy dating back to Castro, whom Rubio said sought to wage a &#8220;much wider and bigger war&#8221; against the United States following the Cuban Revolution.
&#8220;Cuba matters to us because it&#8217;s 90 miles from our shores, and it has a direct impact on our national security — be it the things they&#8217;ve been involved in in the past, the countries they&#8217;ve aligned with in the past and currently,&#8221; he <a href="https://ebs.publicnow.com/view/46CC64098F83F68730FDCA078DD654308FF8741B?utm_source=chatgpt.com">said</a>.
The State Department has similarly <a href="https://www.aol.ca/articles/front-groups-fellow-travelers-state-225046000.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com">argued</a> that many far-Left activists are not directly controlled by Cuba, but support for the communist regime has become &#8220;de facto policy orthodoxy&#8221; among parts of the American Left.

The Trump administration does not plan to intervene to stop the extradition of controversial influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate to the United Kingdom, despite the brothers&#8217; legal team urging Secretary of State Marco Rubio to step in.
A senior administration official told <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/07/22/trump-rubio-tate-brothers-extradition">Axios</a> on Wednesday that the United States will not block the proceedings as the brothers fight extradition in federal court. &#8220;The U.S. has an extradition treaty with the U.K. and the administration intends to honor it in this case,&#8221; the official said.
The State Department likewise indicated it has no plans to intervene. A senior department official said Rubio has not spoken with the Tate brothers or their attorneys and that the department &#8220;has no plans to act on this matter at this time.&#8221;
Andrew and Tristan Tate were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/andrew-and-tristan-tate-arrested-in-florida-on-rape-child-pornography-charges?author=Tim+Rice&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Andrew+And+Tristan+Tate+Arrested+In+Florida+On+Rape%2C+Child+Pornography+Charges">arrested</a> in Miami on Saturday, following a British extradition request tied to dozens of new criminal charges. The Crown Prosecution Service recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tate-brothers-slapped-with-38-new-charges-in-expanding-sex-trafficking-case?author=Daily+Wire+News&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Tate+Brothers+Slapped+With+38+New+Charges+In+Expanding+Sex+Trafficking+Case">announced</a> 38 additional <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/read-the-graphic-allegations-unsealed-against-the-tate-brothers?author=Hank+Berrien&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Read+The+Graphic+Allegations+Unsealed+Against+The+Tate+Brothers">charges</a> against the brothers, bringing the total number of charges they face in the United Kingdom to 59. The charges include allegations of rape, sex trafficking, assault, and offenses involving indecent images of children and extreme pornography.
The brothers have thus far denied all wrongdoing, and they appeared Monday before a federal judge in Miami to begin extradition proceedings. Their attorney, Joseph McBride, argued outside the courthouse that the prosecution is politically motivated and has vowed to challenge the request. &#8220;We are of course objecting to extradition because Andrew and Tristan are innocent,&#8221; McBride told <a href="https://apnews.com/article/andrew-tristan-tate-sex-trafficking-rape-uk-miami-3a3748e075f49b00f286a003f5103485">reporters</a>. &#8220;They&#8217;ve never done nothing wrong. They shouldn&#8217;t be extradited for crimes they did not commit.&#8221;
McBride has also argued that Rubio has the authority to deny the extradition request if he determines the brothers are being politically persecuted. Court filings acknowledge the secretary retains final authority over extradition decisions after judicial proceedings conclude, but administration officials have indicated there is no appetite to exercise that discretion in this case.
According to Axios, Rubio has privately expressed disdain for the brothers, with one source telling the outlet the secretary views them as &#8220;scum.&#8221; Another source familiar with President Donald Trump&#8217;s thinking said the president likewise wants nothing to do with the influencers despite their repeated public support for him. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/who-are-andrew-and-tristan-tate-everything-to-know-about-the-controversial-manosphere-brothers?author=Tim+Rice&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Who+Are+Andrew+And+Tristan+Tate%3F+Everything+To+Know+About+The+Controversial+%E2%80%98Manosphere%E2%80%99+Brothers.">The Tate brothers</a> have cultivated a massive online following through content promoting wealth, hyper-masculinity, and controversial views on women. They became prominent figures within the so-called &#8220;manosphere&#8221; and have repeatedly portrayed themselves as allies of Trump and the MAGA movement.
The extradition case is only the latest legal challenge facing the brothers. They remain under criminal investigation in Romania on separate human trafficking and rape allegations, which they have also denied.
A federal judge has scheduled the brothers&#8217; next hearing for July 27 as the extradition process continues. If the court determines the treaty requirements are met, the final decision on whether to surrender the brothers to British authorities will rest with Rubio, though administration officials have made clear they currently have no intention of blocking the request.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a straightforward <a href="https://x.com/StateDept/status/2079908555969245667">warning</a> on Wednesday about efforts to push communist influence inside the United States.
“The United States doesn’t want to be a communist country,” he said. “We’re never going to be a communist country. We’re not going to allow communist influences to undermine our politics or our society.”
“Our system doesn’t want communism,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And we’re certainly not gonna allow communist efforts to undermine American society and drive wedges into our country.”
Rubio identified the Cuban regime as one of the leading forces behind these kinds of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rubio-reveals-how-cuba-is-trying-to-undermine-america">operations</a> in the hemisphere. He tied the comments to a recent intelligence report from the administration.
Rubio also stressed that while the United States interacts with different governments and systems around the world, there is a clear boundary when it comes to protecting American institutions and society from communist subversion.
His comments on Wednesday come shortly after the Secretary of State delivered a major international <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rubio-levels-the-left-pledges-to-crush-global-marxist-terror-networks-in-historic-address?author=Hank+Berrien&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Rubio+Levels+The+Left%2C+Pledges+To+Crush+Global+Marxist+Terror+Networks+In+Historic+Address">address</a> focused on the threat of far-Left militant networks. In that speech to delegates from more than 60 nations, Rubio described the militant networks as being driven by a deep hatred for civilization itself and laid out how America aimed at confronting them. Those steps include offering bounties to disrupt their financing and officially designating several violent far-Left groups as &#8220;Foreign Terrorist Organizations.&#8221;
Rubio called for dismantling these networks brick by brick. He reviewed the history of earlier movements that followed similar ideologies. He referenced groups such as the Tupamaros and the Montoneros in Latin America, the Shining Path in Peru, the Red Brigades in Italy, the Red Army Faction in Germany, and the Weather Underground in the United States. He also pointed to current trends showing far-Left violence increasing in several European countries. Rubio noted that such violence has risen more than 40% in Germany and makes up over 80% of radical violence in Greece.
Rubio outlined the administration&#8217;s responses to the issue, which include both domestic vigilance against influence operations and international coordination against violent extremist networks.
