Family members of law enforcement officers have faced threats from individuals affiliated with Antifa, a far-left extremist group, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
In a post on X on Friday, DHS stated, “Antifa terrorists are threatening the families of our law enforcement. We will hunt these sickos down and put them behind bars.”
The agency shared an audio recording of a voicemail left for the spouse of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Texas, containing violent language and Nazi comparisons.
“Did you hear what happened to the Nazis after World War II? Because that’s what’s going to happen to your family,” the caller said in the recording.
The White House also posted on social media about the threats, calling Antifa a “radical terror group explicitly calling for the overthrow of the American government.” It added, “Under the Trump Administration, Antifa’s days are over.”
A video from the post featured public officials and commentators describing Antifa’s violent actions. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said the group attacks police stations and courthouses, and “dox our law enforcement officers.” She added, “They are a terrorist group and we are coming after them.”
🚨 Make no mistake: Antifa is a radical terrorist organization that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the U.S. Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law.
Under the Trump Administration, Antifa’s days are over.

Antifa originated as a far-left militant movement and has been linked to politically motivated violence. As previously reported by The Dallas Express, President Donald Trump has designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, citing years of violent attacks on federal facilities, law enforcement, and right-wing figures across the nation.
At an October 7 White House roundtable, journalists who said they were assaulted by Antifa shared their experiences. Andy Ngo, senior editor at The Post Millennial, said an assault in Portland left him shaken.
“That was my only near-death experience in my life, and I’m quite shaken when I think about it now,” Ngo said, according to The Epoch Times.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Antifa members “want to kill” law enforcement officers, journalists, and American citizens.
FBI Director Kash Patel pledged to disrupt the group’s funding sources.
“We will not rest until we find every single … donor … and funding mechanism that they have,” Patel said, per The Epoch Times.
Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) introduced legislation last month to codify Trump’s executive order, calling Antifa “domestic terrorists” who have “terrorized cities across our country for far too long.”
