Texas AG launches undercover probes of 'leftist terror'
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday announced that he has ordered undercover investigations to infiltrate and "uproot" what he termed leftist terror cells across the state. Paxton cited recent political‑violence incidents — including the Sept. 10 assassination of Charlie Kirk and attacks on ICE facilities in Texas — and his office said the probes will build on federal actions and aim to identify and disrupt groups it alleges are linked to violent episodes (the article references "nearly two dozen" people tied to Antifa‑like groups in Texas).
