Kyle Benjamin Douglas Calvert

Antifa Trans Dude Indicted on Terror Charges for Bomb Plot Against Republicans.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has indicted Kyle Benjamin Douglas Calvert, a 26-year-old Alabama resident who identifies as transgender/nonbinary, on federal terrorism charges related to his alleged detonation of an explosive device filled with nails outside the Alabama Attorney General’s Office. Authorities apprehended Calvert — known to have posted Antifa-related content and expressed views endorsing violence against the Republican-led state government — last Wednesday.

The DOJ‘s investigation revealed Calvert had placed Antifa stickers near the crime scene, according to their press release. Court papers describe Calvert as a “dangerous” public threat due to “his inability to control his own violent, aggressive impulses.”

The National Pulse reported that Calvert had donated his improvised explosive device outside the Alabama Attorney General’s office in February. According to court filings by the DOJ, the suspect “added a substantial number of nails and other shrapnel to increase [the explosive’s] destructive capability.” In addition, the filing states that Calvert placed stickers promoting Antifa on state buildings. Court documents reveal that some of the stickers bore phrases like “ANTI-FASCISM IS COMMUNITY SELF-DEFENSE,” “ABOLISH PRIVATE PROPERTY,” and “EAT THE RICH.” Other stickers read “DEATH TO FASCISM,” “ARM THE HOMELESS,” “F–K WORK LET’S RIOT!” and “NEVER WORK.”

“[Antifa is] a group that law enforcement has a singular focus on, particularly based on their core set of values and beliefs, individuals that are willing to engage in violent behavior, completely contrary to the structure of our Constitution,” Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall told Fox News regarding the incident and subsequent indictment. He added: “It is a group that should be on the radar screen of law enforcement agencies across our state and as well as our nation, and are extremely disturbing and concerning to those of us who serve in public office.”

Explosive Device Detonated Outside Alabama AG’s Office Following IVF Ruling.

An explosive device detonated outside the office of Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall on Saturday. The incident came a day after Marshall’s office said it would not prosecute IVF providers — or families who receive IVF treatment — following an Alabama Supreme Court ruling that IVF embryos are people.

“Thankfully, no staff or personnel were injured by the explosion,” Marshall said in a statement released Monday. “The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency will be leading the investigation, and we are urging anyone with information to contact them immediately.”

Last week, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that embryos created during IVF treatment are legally children under state law. Despite the ruling, Marshall’s office announced on Friday that it would not prosecute those who provide or seek IVF treatment. The Alabama Attorney General’s Office “has no intention of using the recent Alabama Supreme Court decision as a basis for prosecuting IVF families or providers,” said Chief Counsel Katherine Robertson in a statement released Friday.

Following the Alabama court ruling, several clinics suspended IVF services for fear of legal retribution. Last week, President Trump defended the practice and called on Alabama lawmakers to do everything in their power to preserve access to IVF treatments for Alabama families.
