"The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America," Paxton added. "There can be no compromise with those who want us dead. To that end, I have directed my office to continue its efforts to identify, investigate, and infiltrate these leftist terror cells.

Paxton said the radical left has "incubated" an environment where political violence is celebrated and praised.
He cited nearly two dozen people allegedly linked to Texas-based Antifa-like groups who are accused of ambushing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Alvarado, Texas.
