**Trump Administration Unveils Controversial National Security Memo Targeting ‘Radical Left’**
The Trump administration has quietly introduced National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM7), a directive aimed at identifying and dismantling what it terms as “radical left violence” in the United States. This move has been described by administration insiders as a pioneering effort to combat leftwing terrorism, drawing mixed reactions from political and civil rights groups.
Understanding NSPM7: A New Approach to National Security
NSPM7, unlike a typical executive order, is a comprehensive national security directive impacting defense, foreign policy, and law enforcement domains. This rare publication of a national security directive signals a strategic shift, directing federal agencies such as the Justice Department and FBI to focus on political violence characterized by antiAmerican and antiChristian sentiments.
Key Elements of NSPM7
According to the directive, political violence stems from organized campaigns that can manifest in various forms, including social media, educational institutions, and more. The Trump administration’s new strategy targets:
- Individuals or groups exhibiting antiAmericanism, anticapitalism, and antiChristianity
- Entities supporting extremist views on migration, race, and gender
- Organizations promoting hostility towards traditional American views on religion and morality
The initiative also prioritizes preemptive actions, aiming to disrupt potential violent acts before they occur, reflecting a post9/11 counterterrorism philosophy.
National Security vs. Civil Liberties
The introduction of NSPM7 has generated significant debate regarding its implications for civil liberties, with critics arguing that it undermines the First Amendment rights of Americans to organize and protest. The directive omits references to these rights, focusing instead on monitoring political activity to preempt radicalism.
White House counterterrorism advisor, Sebastian Gorka, emphasized the need for such measures, highlighting a growing resistance among leftwing leaders to denounce violent rhetoric, thereby justifying the administration’s aggressive stance.
Impact on Federal and Local Law Enforcement
NSPM7 leverages the existing network of Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs), involving over 4,000 members from more than 500 state and local agencies and 50 federal agencies. This vast collaboration allows federal operations to proceed with minimal statelevel scrutiny, as outlined in existing agreements with local agencies.
The directive mandates that the JTTFs focus on activities related to recruiting or radicalizing individuals for political violence and authorizes investigations into those responsible for or abetting such actions. Guidelines from the Attorney General will further specify domestic terrorism priorities under this new directive.
