Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced legal action against a Houston-based Antifa-affiliated organization accused of doxxing and terrorism-related activities.
The investigation targets the Screwston Anti-Fascist Committee, an unincorporated nonprofit association that Paxton says violated state laws through coordinated attacks on citizens.
“Radical leftists have engaged in coordinated efforts to militantly attack our nation and undermine the rule of law. Screwston and related groups have illegally doxed Texans and encouraged violent terrorism against fellow citizens,” Paxton said in a news release. “These deranged traitors will face the full force of law. No stone will be left unturned, and no tool will be left unused.”
The probe seeks to uncover Screwston’s involvement in unlawful activities, including potential ties to terrorism.
The organization openly acknowledges ties to Antifa, designated a terrorist organization by President Donald Trump.
Reported members of Screwston affiliates recently participated in an armed assault on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Alvarado, Texas. The group sells merchandise promoting violence against ICE agents and encouraging attacks by “transgender” individuals.
Paxton issued a Request to Examine to Screwston, demanding records and documents. The legal demand will help identify the scope of the organization’s violations.
