A confidential FBI intelligence report prepared in early October reveals how Donald Trump is redefining the concept of domestic security - as a weapon against his own population. Protest is terrorism. The mere participation in a demonstration against ICE, against the president, against the dismantling of democratic institutions - all this, the document suggests, could serve as a cover for attacks. The internal warning was signed by those who have long been seen as key figures in Trump\u2019s new security ideology: FBI Director Kash Patel and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The memo, marked as \u201crestricted\u201d and dated October 1, 2025, bears the unremarkable title \u201cDomestic Violent Extremists Pose Increased Threat of Violence to ICE Facilities and Personnel.\u201d But behind this bureaucratic phrasing lies a dangerous idea: that the constitutional right to assemble itself is being redefined as a security threat. The agency refers to \u201cDomestic Violent Extremists,\u201d or DVEs - a term that in Trump\u2019s America can now mean anyone who carries banners instead of weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A confidential FBI intelligence report from October 1, 2025, prepared jointly with the Department of Homeland Security, claims that so-called \u201cDomestic Violent Extremists\u201d pose a growing threat to ICE facilities. As evidence, the document cites two attacks in Texas - including the case of 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, who shot three ICE detainees in Dallas before killing himself. Not a single ICE officer was killed. Nevertheless, the report warns that the perpetrators had \u201cbenefited from First Amendment-protected activities\u201d - a formulation that indirectly links demonstrations with terrorism and serves as the foundation for Trump\u2019s NSPM-7 strategy to expand the fight against \u201cdomestic extremism\u201d to political opposition.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Particularly in the crosshairs is the \u201cNo Kings\u201d protest, a broad citizens\u2019 movement that emerged in April as a reaction to Trump\u2019s dictatorial style of governance. What began as an ironic response to the pomp of a president who styled himself as a monarch grew within weeks into a nationwide democracy movement with millions of participants - supported by organizations such as Indivisible, MoveOn, and Public Citizen. But what sounded like pluralistic protest in the streets was declared terrorism in the halls of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the White House, words now echo that one knows from authoritarian states. Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson called it a \u201cHate America Rally.\u201d Tom Emmer, the Republican majority whip, described the demonstrations as the \u201cterrorist wing\u201d of the Democratic Party. Even Steve Scalise, usually a representative of calculated silence, adopted the slogan. Those who downplayed the January 6 insurrection now discover in peaceful protest the greatest threat to the nation. The shift in language is not accidental. It is part of a strategy. Trump\u2019s National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 - or NSPM-7 - has required all federal agencies since the summer to \u201csystematically combat domestic terrorism.\u201d What sounds harmless is, in practice, alarmingly broad. The Department of Justice under Pam Bondi followed in September with a directive titled \u201cEnding Political Violence Against ICE,\u201d classifying protests, blockades, or even critical statements as potential support for violence. Two days later, the confidential FBI intelligence report that has now become public was released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second part of the confidential FBI-DHS report describes an attack on July 4, 2025, on the ICE Prairieland Detention Center in Texas, in which a police officer was shot in the neck. According to the report, the perpetrators used encrypted communication channels, launched fireworks and graffiti as distractions, and planned the attack near a local meeting point. A total of 20 people were later arrested - but again, one has to ask where there is any connection to demonstrations, other than in Trump\u2019s imagination. Nevertheless, the report claims that since June, \u201csmall groups of perpetrators\u201d have \u201cexploited\u201d large, legal protests in Los Angeles and Oregon to commit acts of violence. As evidence, it cites property damage at ICE facilities and clashes with police. In its outlook, the FBI warns that such attacks could increase and that perpetrators are preparing through encrypted apps and online research - a justification that makes any digital, journalistic, or political activity potentially criminalizable.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Bureau links the two violent acts in Texas with an alleged connection to anti-ICE demonstrations. In reality, these are isolated incidents - tragic, but hardly sufficient to justify a nationwide surveillance campaign. In July and September, \u201ctwo targeted, pre-planned attacks on ICE personnel and facilities\u201d had taken place, the report says. Four deaths were reported. Not a word, however, that none of the dead were ICE employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first case of the internal report, as outlined above, it was Joshua Jahn, a 29-year-old Texan who opened fire on an ICE building in Dallas in September, killing two detainees, wounding another, and then taking his own life. The bullets bore the engraving \u201canti-ICE\u201d - a detail that FBI chief Patel quickly spread on social media. Major media outlets adopted the term \u201canti-ICE terrorist.\u201d But friends, relatives of the perpetrator, and our own research paint a different picture: Jahn, they say, was an apolitical troll driven by a desire for chaos, not ideology. His brother later spoke of a \u201crandom shooting.\u201d (https:\/\/kaizen-blog.org\/en\/blut-an-der-grenze-der-angriff-auf-die-ice-einrichtung-in-dallas-der-leben-zerstoerte-und-eine-nation-entflammte\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second case, which the intelligence report cites as evidence of a growing \u201cextremist movement,\u201d concerns the attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in July. A group of masked assailants shot at officers, one of whom was hit in the neck. Investigators found slogans at the scene such as \u201cFIGHT ICE TERROR\u201d and \u201cRESIST FASCISM.\u201d Yet again, no connection to a demonstration, none to the \u201cNo Kings\u201d protests. The indictment mentions neither Antifa nor any political networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, the report concludes that \u201cdomestic violent extremists\u201d have \u201cexploited large, legal protests\u201d in California and Oregon to commit violence. The reference remains vague, the evidence absent. In reality, there have been occasional instances of vandalism and minor scuffles in Portland and Eugene - but not a single ICE employee has been killed this year. The only serious injury is that of the officer in Texas. This does not stop the authorities from constructing a line of argument: protest as the breeding ground of terror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That the government is amplifying this rhetoric now is no coincidence. Since the murder of Charlie Kirk - an event that Trump publicly called \u201cour 9\/11 of the Left\u201d - a climate of moral hysteria has prevailed. Every form of political opposition is placed under suspicion. In this atmosphere, the equation of dissent with danger flourishes. What is emerging is a systematic reconstruction of the security architecture. NSPM-7 shifts the boundary between legitimate threat prevention and ideological repression. When the FBI intelligence report claims that attackers had \u201cbenefited from First Amendment-protected activities,\u201d it is saying nothing less than that the constitutional right to free expression itself has been redefined as a vulnerability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Washington, this language has become the new normal. Out of concern for security grows an instrument of control. The domestic intelligence service, once created to protect democracy, is now being used to discipline it. The \u201cNo Kings\u201d protest on October 18 thus stood not only for resistance against a president who places himself above the law. It also stood for a test of American freedom. For when every crowd is declared a potential threat, what remains of the public sphere is little more than the aftersound of fear. In Trump\u2019s second term, the state has learned to turn the language of terror inward. Where once slogans like \u201cWar on Terror\u201d prevailed, it is now \u201cWar on Protest.\u201d It is a quiet, bureaucratically phrased war against those who refuse to remain silent. A war that sells itself as defense - and in truth undermines the foundation of the republic. Those who cry \u201cNo Kings\u201d these days are not shouting against a man but against a system that has learned to confuse democracy with distrust. And perhaps that is the true danger for those who rule - that people remember to whom power in a republic really belongs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even in Germany, quiet but noticeable shifts can be observed - barely perceptible in everyday life, yet unmistakable to those who listen to the language of power. What is already happening openly in the United States under NSPM-7 is taking shape here in an administrative tone and with legal precision: the transition from protection to control. Police laws that allow access based on suspicion; constitutional protection reports that classify activists as \u201cleft-wing extremist influenced\u201d; terms such as \u201cclimate RAF\u201d or \u201cthreat actor\u201d that smuggle the state of emergency into the vocabulary of daily life. The pattern is always the same - the state declares those who remind it of its promises to be the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was once conceived as the protective wall of democracy is slowly becoming its veil - transparent enough to preserve the illusion of freedom, opaque enough to conceal its boundaries. When protest becomes disruption, loyalty becomes virtue, and public dissent turns into a file in the register of internal security. It is not a sudden rupture but a gradual transformation - a bureaucratically domesticated liberalism that manages its own fear of freedom. Germany remains a state under the rule of law - for now. Yet the line between stability and stagnation no longer runs along the laws themselves, but along the courage to defend them against the current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
