Antifa activist who celebrated Charlie Kirk murder arrested on child sex crime charges in New York

A queer-identified Antifa activist who celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk has been arrested in upstate New York on suspicion of felony child sex crimes.

Justin Robert Stroup, 37, of Plattsburgh, N.Y., was arrested on April 30 by the New York State Police following a joint investigation involving Plattsburgh City Police and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). He allegedly shared child sex abuse material.

Stroup is a leftist activist and guitarist for the left-wing death metal band Dead Solace. The band announced on Instagram after the news of his arrest that they were immediately disbanding.

“This decision follows recent actions by a member that do not align with our values, our expectations of one another, or the respect we believe should exist within our community,” the band said in a statement.

In 2022, Dead Solace performed a charity concert in Burlington, Vt., co-organized by Planned Parenthood.

Seattle Far-Left Activist Charged in Child Sex Abuse Case

A Seattle Antifa-linked anarchist and Black Lives Matter activist has been charged with child sex abuse crimes.

Gothic Ghetto, 54, was arrested on April 16. One of Ghetto’s prior legal names was Michael Tyrone Perkins.

The King County Sheriff’s Office initiated an investigation after receiving a CyperTip from the chat messaging app Kik, which is popular with minors, that Ghetto had allegedly uploaded files to the platform that were flagged as child sexual abuse material.

Searches of his devices revealed chat logs in which he allegedly sought out children to groom and sent them the address of his home. Police executed a search warrant at Ghetto’s Shoreline, Wash. apartment and allegedly discovered multiple homemade zine-style printed booklets which contained explicit photos of a child between 7–10 years old, along with sex toys.

Ghetto, who wrote about being on public assistance and supporting welfare fraud, has an online resume that shows he was previously employed as a personal babysitter of a young girl. Ghetto posted multiple videos of him with two young girls on his Instagram.

His resume also lists his job as a photojournalist, but he describes himself on social media as an anarchist “propagandist” and zine creator. He was a member of a far-left artist collective called On The Block Seattle. On The Block is an anarchist group dedicated to “decolonization and liberation.”

On The Block released a statement saying that Ghetto was banned from the group’s spaces and activities “until further community determination.”

“As of this morning, we have confirmed from court documents that GothicGhetto was arrested 4/16/2026 and is being charged with the possession and dealing of depictions of CP [child porn],” the statement read. “Given the severity of these charges, we are acting with urgency and precaution for the safety of our community.”

Some leftist community members refuse to believe the charges and speculate that Ghetto was set up by the government in a COINTELPRO-style conspiracy plot due to his leftist activism.

Portland college to host ANTIFA TRAINING on terrorism and radicalization

Lewis and Clark College, a private institution in Portland, Oregon, is hosting an Antifa-affiliated anarchist symposium aimed at teaching individuals how to organize violent direct actions and avoid prosecution in order to effectively fight back against the US government.

The Transformative Action and Abolition Symposium, titled “Bad Trouble” and organized by the school’s Antifa-aligned Prison Abolition Club, is scheduled to run from April 13 to April 15. Antifa is a US-designated terrorist organization.

Journalist Andy Ngo first highlighted the event in a post on X, describing it as “Antifa terrorism and radicalization training.” He noted that attendees are explicitly directed to “wear a mask” and that one session involves reading claims of responsibility from anarchist blogs while learning how to help “comrades” evade arrest. Ngo, senior editor at The Post Millennial, tagged Education Secretary Linda McMahon and US Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, noting that the college receives some federal funding.

The event flyer features radical imagery such as a burning police vehicle with smashed windows, a gas can, flames, bolt cutters, and barbed wire. It asks attendees to “wear a mask please,”  a common tactic used by Antifa militants to evade detection at events.

Jury Finds Nine Antifa Members Guilty of Terrorism Charges in Attack on Texas ICE Detention Center

A jury found nine Antifa members guilty of terrorism charges in an attack on an ICE detention center in Texas.

The nine indicted defendants: Cameron Arnold, a/k/a Autunm Hill, Zachary Evetts, Benjamin Song, Savanna Batten, Bradford Morris, a/k/a Meagan Morris, Maricela Rueda, Elizabeth Soto, Ines Soto, and Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada.

Last 4th of July, nearly a dozen Antifa members dressed in black bloc and body armor descended on the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas.

The terrorists fired off explosives, vandalized federal vehicles, and fired shots at police officers.

A police officer was shot in the neck.

The defendants were found guilty on riot charges, providing material support to terrorists, conspiracy to use and carry an explosive, and using and carrying an explosive, three counts of attempted murder of an officer, three counts of discharging a firearm during a violent crime, corruptly concealing a document and conspiracy to conceal documents.

“Today’s verdict shows the FBI remains committed to identifying, locating, and dismantling Antifa and its funding networks across the country,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “Acts of violence against our law enforcement partners will not be tolerated, and we continue our work to protect communities across the country from domestic terrorism.”

“Antifa is a domestic terrorist organization that has been allowed to flourish in Democrat-led cities — not under President Trump,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “Today’s verdict on terrorism charges will not be the last as the Trump administration systematically dismantles Antifa and finally halts their violence on America’s streets.”

“Nine North Texas Antifa Cell operatives were convicted today by a federal jury in Fort Worth, Texas for their roles in rioting, using weapons and explosives, providing material support to terrorists, obstruction, and attempted murder of an Alvarado police officer and unarmed correctional officers at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center on July 4, 2025, announced United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Ryan Raybould,” the DOJ said.

“In a 12-day trial that began on February 23, 2026, jurors heard testimony from more than 45 witnesses and considered over 210 exhibits supporting the charges against nine indicted defendants: Cameron Arnold, a/k/a Autunm Hill, Zachary Evetts, Benjamin Song, Savanna Batten, Bradford Morris, a/k/a Meagan Morris, Maricela Rueda, Elizabeth Soto, Ines Soto, and Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada,” the Justice Department said.

“Seven others, Seth Sikes, Nathan Baumann, Joy Gibson, Susan Kent, Rebecca Morgan, Lynette Sharp, and John Thomas, pled guilty last year to one count of providing material support to terrorists,” the DOJ said.

This is the first-ever federal Antifa terrorism trial in Texas.

Antifa’s thugs have caused a serious diplomatic incident.

France Summons U.S. Ambassador After Washington Condemns Killing of Conservative Activist, Insists There Are ‘No Lessons to Learn’

France announced Sunday it will summon U.S. Ambassador Charles Kushner after Washington publicly condemned the killing of French conservative activist Quentin Deranque.

Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said the U.S. Embassy’s comments about the case amounted to interference in a matter that “concerns the national community.”

He added that France “rejects any instrumentalisation of this tragedy” and insisted the country has “no lessons to learn” from what he described as an “international reactionary movement.”

Barrot said he plans to raise additional concerns with Ambassador Kushner, including U.S. sanctions imposed on former EU commissioner Thierry Breton and French judge Nicolas Guillou.

He described the sanctions as “unjustified and unjustifiable,” while Macron has reportedly written to President Trump requesting that certain sanctions on European citizens be lifted.

Deranque was beaten to death during a clash with far-left thugs, an attack that has sparked nationwide outrage and renewed debate over political violence in France.

Leftist Lawyer Causes Day One Mistrial at the First Federal Antifa Terrorism Trial

A mistrial has been declared on the first day of the historic first federal Antifa terrorism trial after a woke lawyer for one of the defendants engaged in misconduct.

U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman halted the jury selection process after noticing that MarQuetta Clayton, a BLM-activist attorney for one of the defendants, was wearing a politically-charged t-shirt with images of Martin Luther King, Jr. and messaging about civil rights.

Judge Pittman found her clothing could prejudice jurors. His ruling came on the first day of jury selection in Fort Worth, weeks after nine federal defendants were indicted on charges stemming from a July 4, 2025 shooting ambush on the Prairieland ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas. A local police officer responding to the riot was shot in the neck. One of the defendants escaped from the scene, leading to a Texas-most-wanted manhunt for almost two weeks.

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.
