On July 16, 2026, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio hosted the Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism at the State Department in Washington, DC, with officials and experts from 67 countries in attendance. The Washington Examiner reported claims of Antifa cross-border travel, encrypted coordination, safehouse networks, and specific acts including attacks on political leaders, business bombings, railway sabotage, and assaults on police. Analyses from progressive, conservative, libertarian, and critical viewpoints differ on the scale, framing, and policy implications of these reported activities.
