State Department says Portland Antifa linked to Hamas, Iran’s IRGC
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced U.S. sanctions against Autistici/Inventati, an Italy-based far-left tech collective supporting violent Antifa cells globally and linked to terrorist groups such as Hamas and Iran's IRGC.
The State Department memo identified Portland-based Rose City Antifa as a user of Autistici/Inventati’s encrypted communication infrastructure, linking it to violent acts and collaboration with terrorist organizations.
Autistici/Inventati provides encrypted communications and anonymity services primarily to far-left extremists and certain Islamic terrorist groups, screening users for ideological alignment.
The sanctions are part of a broader U.S. government initiative, started in 2025, to treat violent far-left networks as terrorist threats and disrupt their financial and logistical support to protect U.S. security.
