State Dept CT Bureau

Far-left terrorism crosses borders to attack and destroy. Under @SecRubio, @StateDept is taking concrete action to dismantle these terrorist groups, working with our partners around the world.

Secretary Rubio puts entire world on notice against rise of 'poisonous' far-left terror 'masked as equality' foxnews.com/politics/rubio…

As @SecRubio made clear, the threat from far-left terrorism is transnational, serious, and growing. @StateDept brought together over 60 countries today to address this threat.

The Trump Administration has now designated 20 dangerous groups in our hemisphere as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists. By taking these actions, we deny access to the U.S. financial system and the resources they need to carry out attacks.

Today, @StateDept is imposing new visa restrictions to bar Far-Left Terrorists from entering our country. Foreigners who finance, incite, or aid and abet Far-Left Terrorists are enemies of our civilization. They are not welcome in the United States. state.gov/releases/offic…

Fact Sheet: State Department Addresses International Resurgence of Far-Left Political Terrorism state.gov/releases/offic…

Today, I designated two additional Mexican cartels, the Juárez Cartel and Los Viagras, as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists. Under President Trump’s leadership, we will never stop fighting against violent narco-terrorists from flooding our nation with deadly drugs.

Extremist violence from the political left has been a blind spot in our counterterrorism doctrine. It's time for the people of the civilized world to defend ourselves. We know what we must do — now it's time to do it.

"One of the criticisms you sometimes hear of communism, for example, is that it sounds good in theory, but it never works in practice. That’s actually not true. Communism does not sound good in theory. The world it envisions for all of us is small, flat, grey, leveled of all exception, drained of all that is good and noble in the human soul. The world it envisions is a world without courage, a world without creativity or ambition, a world without heroes or glory or great causes to strive towards, without – a world without miracles, without myths, without men who rise above the rest to do incredible and extraordinary things. And the world communism envisions is a world without God. For these architects of revolutionary violence, the towering achievement of our civilization – for them it’s an unbearable humiliation, a reminder of what they cannot do and a reminder of what they cannot be. So they choose instead to destroy." -@SecRubio

Today, I convened leaders from around the world for a ministerial meeting on the resurgence of political terrorism—driven by a rising tide of violent left-wing extremism. Together, we must rebuild our counterterrorism architecture to defeat the new wave of this old evil.

.@NEWSMAX: "The Trump Administration is confronting a problem it says has gone unanswered for too long: the resurgence of far-left terrorism."

For decades, far-left terrorists have attacked private citizens, government officials, police and law enforcement, businesses, and critical infrastructure in the U.S. and overseas. The @StateDept is working to CRUSH these violent groups all around the world.

FULL REMARKS: Secretary Marco Rubio's Remarks at the Ministerial on The Resurgence of Political Terrorism

SECRETARY RUBIO: "Under President Trump, for the first time, the United States is building the infrastructure, the partnerships, and the strategy to defeat the scourge of far-left terror."

SECRETARY RUBIO: "These are not distinct and isolated cells, they are interconnected networks. They do not recognize our borders. They do not believe in the nation-state itself."
