11 arrested in France for beating death of far-right student

 French police investigating the beating of a far-right militant who died of brain injuries have arrested 11 people, prosecutors said Wednesday, in a case adding fuel to long-standing divides in French politics ahead of presidential elections in 2027.

Quentin Deranque, a 23-year-old student described as a fervent nationalist, died in a hospital on Saturday.

He was beaten two days earlier by a group of people in the city of Lyon, in fighting that erupted between far-left and far-right supporters on the margins of a student meeting where a far-left lawmaker, Rima Hassan, was a keynote speaker.

An autopsy found that Deranque suffered a fractured skull and fatal brain injuries, according to Lyon’s prosecutor, Thierry Dran.

He launched the police investigation for homicide and other potential criminal charges.

Dran’s office said police detained a man and a woman on Wednesday morning, with nine other people taken into custody on Tuesday night.

Texas launches legal action against CAIR, Muslim Brotherhood, Antifa

Ken Paxton, the attorney general in Texas, has launched a series of high-profile legal actions targeting alleged terrorist-linked organizations as part of his efforts to combat domestic and foreign extremism in the state.

On Feb. 5, he announced a lawsuit against the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) “to stop the terrorist groups from operating in Texas.”

According to the 32-page filing submitted to a Collin County district court, the State of Texas alleges that the Muslim Brotherhood “is a radical terrorist organization that exists to usurp governmental power and establish dominion through Sharia law” and that it has “covertly operated in the United States under the name ‘CAIR’ for decades.”

The document states that “the group is not peaceful. It is not tolerant. It does not respect the freedom to practice other religions or sects, including Christianity and Judaism.”

Paxton is seeking temporary and permanent injunctions to halt all operations, fundraising, property ownership and recruitment by the organizations in Texas.

The attorney general also turned his attention to domestic terror groups. On Feb. 6, Paxton initiated legal action against the Houston-based Screwston Anti-Fascist Committee, described by his office as an “Antifa-affiliated unincorporated nonprofit association,” alleging violations of Texas law tied to doxing and violence.

“Radical leftists have engaged in coordinated efforts to militantly attack our nation and undermine the rule of law,” he said. “These deranged traitors will face the full force of law. No stone will be left unturned, and no tool will be left unused.”

Paxton noted that Antifa has been designated by U.S. President Donald Trump as a terrorist organization and that “reported members of Screwston affiliates recently participated in an armed assault on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Alvarado, Texas.”

French Patriots Turn Out in Huge Numbers Demanding Justice for 23-Yr-Old Conservative Quentin Who Was Murdered by Antifa Thugs

Thousands of French patriots turned out in Paris on Sunday demanding justice for 23-year-old Quentin who was murdered by Antifa thugs this weekend.

On Friday, The Gateway Pundit’s Robert Semonsen reported that young French nationalist activist is fighting for his life after a brutal street assault in the city of Lyon that has reignited national outrage over radical-left wing political violence and the climate of impunity surrounding self-described “anti-fascist” groups.

The victim, a 23-year-old man identified as Quentin, remains in critical condition—and is said to be braindead—following a savage attack that took place on the evening of February 12.

The violence erupted on the margins of a conference held at Sciences Po Lyon featuring Rima Hassan, a European Parliament member aligned with the radical left party La France Insoumise (LFI). It’s worth noting that weeks ago, LFI leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon, during a campaign event, said that his party is the party of “The Great Replacement.”

The event, focused on EU relations and the Middle East, was warmly received inside the venue, while tensions simmered outside.

According to various accounts from eye witnesses at the scene, the situation deteriorated rapidly. Female protesters on the nationalist-feminist side were allegedly surrounded, pushed, and physically attacked, with at least one 19-year-old woman reportedly strangled and dragged during the initial confrontation.

Quentin, who was part of an informal security detail tasked with protecting the women, intervened as the group attempted to disperse. He and another man were then allegedly followed through nearby streets by a group of masked attackers.

What followed, witnesses say, was a coordinated ambush. The two men were set upon in a quiet area of Lyon’s 5th arrondissement, where Quentin was knocked to the ground and repeatedly kicked after his head struck the pavement.

Young French Conservative Activist Left Brain-Dead After Violent Antifa Attack in Lyon

The event, focused on EU relations and the Middle East, was warmly received inside the venue, while tensions simmered outside.

Demonstrators from Collectif Némésis, a nationalist feminist group known for opposing mass immigration and Islamist influence, gathered to protest Hassan’s appearance. The activists unfurled banners criticizing what they describe as the “Islamo-left,” drawing immediate hostility from black clad, masked counter-protesters.

Female protesters on the nationalist-feminist side were allegedly surrounded, pushed, and physically attacked, with at least one 19-year-old woman reportedly strangled and dragged during the initial confrontation.

Scathing report reveals Antifa-linked org passing out material to K-12 students: ‘Political revolution’

A newly unearthed training guidebook from the far-left activist group Sunrise Movement calls on both college and K-12 students to engage in monthly disruptions and “mass non-cooperation” as part of a coordinated effort to spark a “political revolution” across the United States.

The 25-page document, obtained by Defending Education, focuses on mobilizing youth against what it describes as a “regime” and a “system captured by billionaires,” urges students to walk out of classrooms and boycott businesses in an attempt to prove that the country cannot function without their cooperation.

“We’re not going to get there overnight, and we’re not here to get back to the status quo,” the guidebook says. “We’re here to win a political revolution. This is your guide to start winning at your school right now.”

Pushing back against ICE is a major theme in the document that appears to have been spread to students in Minnesota and across the country and has made that central pillar of its recent advocacy, framing the agency as an “occupying army” and a “personal gestapo” for the Trump administration.

Antifa Member Arrested After Urging Others to ‘Hunt’ ICE Agents

A self-identified Antifa member, Kyle Wagner, was arrested Thursday on federal threat and cyberstalking charges following alleged murder and assault threats against Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Wagner, 37 of Minneapolis, is expected to make an initial appearance in federal court today.

According to the criminal complaint, Wagner has escalated his opposition to ICE operations, including conspiring and threatening to assault federal law enforcement officers in Minneapolis. In January 2026, Wagner repeatedly posted on Facebook and Instagram, encouraging his followers to forcibly confront, assault, impede, oppose, and resist federal officers whom he referred to as the “Gestapo” and “murderers.”

“This man allegedly doxxed and called for the murder of law enforcement officers, encouraged bloodshed in the streets, and proudly claimed affiliation with the terrorist organization Antifa before going on the run,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Today’s arrest illustrates that you cannot run, you cannot hide, and you cannot evade our federal agents: if you come for law enforcement, the Trump Administration will come for you.”

On January 8, 2026, Wagner posted a video directly threatening ICE agents by stating, “I’ve already bled for this city, I’ve already fought for this city, this is nothing new, we’re ready this time, ICE we’re f—ing coming for you.” The following day, Wagner posted about the “constant harassment of ICE” and said that “we need to continue that, but we also need to cripple them.” Wagner then advocated for physical confrontation, stating, “Anywhere we have an opportunity to get our hands on them, we need to put our hands on them.”

German Transgender Antifa Radical Sentenced to Eight Years in Prison in Hungary

A German transgender Antifa radical has been sentenced to eight years in prison in Hungary over a string of far-left attacks in Budapest.

In February of 2023, the infamous “Hammer Gang” Antifa cell allegedly targeted supposed “neo-Nazis” in Budapest, amid an annual celebration of the Hungarian troops that allied with the Waffen SS against the Soviet Red Army during the Siege of Budapest in 1945.

According to prosecutors, the Antifa radicals snuck up behind their victims before hitting them in the head with clubs and continuing to beat them as they fell to the ground, leaving some with life-threatening injuries and fractures to their skulls, Magyar Nemzet reports.

The leftist gang was also said to target anyone whom they suspected of being right-wing, regardless of whether they were actually attending the ceremony.

The Antifa cell — which the Trump administration recently designated as a foreign terrorist organisation — allegedly included “Maja T.”, who was provisionally sentenced to eight years in prison this week by the Budapest Municipal Court.

Maja, who identifies as “non-binary”, claimed that the decision was politically motivated and that it was made to appease Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who also recently classified Antifa as a terrorist group.

“Of course, I see the Hungarian government’s efforts to influence the independence of the court,” the activist said.

Transgender Antifa Activist Who Threatened Rep. Nancy Mace Charged With Attempted Murder in Oregon

Last May, a trans activist and Antifa member made a death threat against Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina.

He is now behind bars in Oregon, having been charged with the attempted murder of another man. It just goes to show a lot of these people are completely off balance and will repeatedly cause trouble until they are stopped.

Antifa Transgender Who Threatened Rep. Mace in 2025 Charged with Shooting, Attempted Murder of Oregon Man

A biologically-male transgender member of the domestic terrorist group Antifa – who was not prosecuted when he posted an implicit death threat against South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace last May – is now in a women’s prison in Oregon and facing charges of attempted murder.

“This blood is on the hands of every prosecutor who looked at this threat and looked away. I pray for the safety of the women he’s housed with,” Rep. Mace said in a statement Wednesday, reacting to the news and recounting the death threat made against her by “a transgender named ‘Rem Heathen’ whose real name is Michael Richard Fadich, the Antifa violent extremist”:

“In May 2025, Fadich posted a graphic on Instagram depicting a gun pointed directly at Rep. Mace’s face. The message was unmistakable: he wanted her dead.

“The Office of Rep. Mace reported this threat. Prosecutors did nothing. Now, eight months later, he is charged with attempted murder after allegedly shooting someone in Portland just last month. A man is in the hospital because the system failed to stop a violent extremist when it had the chance.”

Antifa TikTok Agitator Urges Armed Leftist Militias to ‘Fight’ ICE Agents

Radical TikTok agitator Danesh Noshirvan has crossed a dangerous line.

The Antifa-aligned mega influencer is now openly calling for organized, armed left-wing militias to confront ICE agents and federal law enforcement in America’s largest cities.

Framing ICE as “Trump’s racist army,” Noshirvan urges followers to physically block agents and force them out of communities. The rhetoric is not abstract. It is operational. It is coordinated.

And it comes from a figure already tied to dark-money networks, digital harassment mobs, perjury, and federal sanctions.

This is not protest. It is incitement—packaged as “accountability,” powered by bots, and aimed at igniting street-level conflict.

Portland Trantifa threatens ICE agent who shot Renee Good in Minneapolis

A trans-identified male Antifa member in Portland, Oregon has issued a threat against the ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday after she attempted to run over the agent in her car.

In a video posted to social media, the “transfemme” previously known as Shawn Michael Bitgood said, “to the ICE agent that murdered that unarmed civilian in Minneapolis: we have your face, we have pictures of you. We will get justice for a fallen comrade, whether it be judicial justice or street justice depends on whether or not you turn yourself in and admit to your crime.”

“That wasn’t self-defense. That was murder, and you know it was murder. Don’t put it off as self-defense,” Bitgood added. Bitgood has also gone by the names ” Jennifer Michelle Bitgood” and “Freya Jode Bitgood,” and is a healthcare worker.

Bitgood previously threatened to kill Trump supporters and said he wished late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s entire family was dead. In response to independent journalist Nick Sortor posting a video of Charlie Kirk’s daughter reacting to a banner of her late father, Bitgood wrote, “Charlie Quirt’s whole family should be wiped out along with you and you’res.”
