La administración Trump ahora clasifica a Antifa y a las redes de izquierda entre los grupos terroristas “principales”

Según un plan antiterrorista publicado el jueves, la administración Trump ha clasificado a redes de izquierda como Antifa entre los “tres tipos principales de grupos terroristas” a los que se enfrenta Estados Unidos.

“Además de los cárteles y los grupos terroristas islamistas”, apunta el documento, “nuestras actividades nacionales (contra el terrorismo) también priorizarán la rápida identificación y neutralización de grupos políticos seculares violentos cuya ideología sea antiamericana, radicalmente protransgénero y anarquista”.

En los últimos meses, a medida que los funcionarios de la administración Trump han intensificado la retórica en torno a la investigación y el enjuiciamiento de personas que, según afirman, forman parte de grupos como Antifa, han tenido dificultades para responder a preguntas básicas sobre estas organizaciones.

Durante una audiencia en el Congreso a finales del año pasado, Michael Glasheen, director de operaciones de la División de Seguridad Nacional del FBI, no pudo responder preguntas sobre el tamaño del grupo Antifa, su ubicación u otros detalles.

“Las investigaciones están en curso”, declaró Glasheen tras declarar a Antifa como la “principal preocupación” del FBI. El funcionario del FBI afirmó que la situación era “muy cambiante”.

El plan antiterrorista de la Casa Blanca establece que el Gobierno federal “utilizará todas las herramientas constitucionalmente disponibles para localizarlos en el país, identificar a sus miembros y rastrear sus vínculos con organizaciones internacionales como Antifa”.

Estados Unidos se ha enfrentado a varios ataques violentos por parte de individuos que se oponen a la administración y a sus aliados, incluido el reciente intento de ataque en la cena de corresponsales de la Casa Blanca, el asesinato del comentarista de derecha Charlie Kirk y varios ataques violentos contra centros de inmigración.

Sin embargo, el terrorismo organizado por grupos de izquierda es mucho menos frecuente.

En julio, un grupo de casi una docena de personas lanzó fuegos artificiales y pintó con aerosol vehículos y edificios en una instalación del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional en Texas, antes de que algunos miembros del grupo abrieran fuego contra un agente de policía y empleados del edificio.

Este caso fue el primero de terrorismo federal en la prometida lucha de la administración Trump contra los grupos de izquierda.

This American doctor thought he was going on vacation. He ended up treating hantavirus patients

(CNN) — Dr. Stephen Kornfeld boarded the MV Hondius in the southern tip of Argentina last month anticipating a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, exploring vast icy expanses and remote islands, seeing wildlife like whales, dolphins and penguins up close.

But a few weeks into his vacation across the Atlantic Ocean, the Oregon doctor jumped into action caring for passengers after a deadly hantavirus outbreak began spreading through the ship, sickening the vessel’s doctor.

“I sort of fell into the role of becoming the ship doctor,” Kornfeld told CNN from aboard the virus-stricken vessel, which is currently making its way to Tenerife in the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago off the southwestern coast of Morocco.

The roughly 146 passengers and crew still on board, including 17 Americans, who spent several days anchored near Praia, Cape Verde off the west African coast, are set to arrive in Tenerife Sunday, where they will disembark and make their way to their respective countries.

The outbreak has prompted a massive global contract tracing effort as health authorities work to identify those who may have been exposed to the rare rodent-borne virus, which can cause severe respiratory failure. But the World Health Organization (WHO) said it does not anticipate an epidemic anywhere similar to Covid, underlining that there is no evidence of widespread transmission risk.

Five hantavirus infections have been identified among people connected to the ship and several more cases are suspected, the WHO said, noting that it expects more cases to emerge. Three people have died, including an elderly Dutch couple who are thought to have caught the virus while sightseeing in Argentina before joining the cruise.

Kornfeld told CNN’s Erin Burnett that he asked if the ship’s doctor needed help after he heard one of Hondius’ passengers had fallen ill. That passenger, a 70-year-old man from the Netherlands, would go on to die on the boat on April 11.

“Over 12 to 24 hours, it became clear that there were a number of people sick and they were getting sicker,” he said.

The wife of the Dutchman who died had “non-specific symptoms,” Kornfeld said, “a lot of confusion, a lot of weakness.” She was evacuated from the ship and died in hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa while attempting to travel home.

Two other patients, including the ship’s doctor, “had a lot of standard viral symptoms,” Kornfeld said. “A lot of fever, fatigue, flushing, some GI (gastrointestinal) issues, some shortness of breath.”

“At the time, neither one of them looked critically ill. But the fear with hantavirus is you can go from seriously ill to critically ill very quickly.”

The ship’s doctor was transferred to a hospital in Johannesburg last month where he remains in intensive care, but his condition is improving, the WHO said.

Three other passengers from the ship have been evacuated to the Netherlands for treatment. One passenger who departed the ship early tested positive for hantavirus and is being treated in Zurich.

The outbreak has been linked to the Andes strain of hantavirus, a rare but potentially severe virus that in some cases can spread between humans through close contact.

About 30 passengers departed the ship at the end of last month before the outbreak was fully understood, complicating efforts to contain the virus.

Health authorities in several countries including the US, the UK and Canada are monitoring Hondius passengers for potential infection. Hantavirus typically has an incubation period of one to six
