FBI Director Kash Patel said on Feb. 18 that the law enforcement bureau uncovered what he said are funding sources tied to antifa organizations, suggesting more enforcement actions could come against the left-wing movement.

“Whether it’s antifa or any other violent criminal organization—we know their operations don’t exist alone; they operate with heavy funding streams,” he wrote in a post on X, along with a clip from an interview with former deputy director Dan Bongino, on his show.
