On November twelfth, the Justice Department launched an investigation into protests at a Turning Point USA event at UC Berkeley, following reports of violence and smoke bombs. The event, a final stop on a national college tour, was disrupted by scuffles between police and protestors, resulting in arrests and injuries. UC Berkeley is conducting a full investigation and will cooperate with federal authorities. This incident echoes past protests at the university, including the cancellation of a Milo Yiannopoulos speech in 2017. Meanwhile, President Trumps executive order labeling antifa a domestic terrorist organization has been met with skepticism, as domestic terrorism is not a chargeable offense under federal law.
