Antifa Activists Attempted to Buy Weapons From Cartel for ‘Armed Rebellion’ at Border
By The Blaze. The FBI investigated “anti-fascist” activists who planned to buy weapons from a Mexican drug cartel in order to “stage an armed rebellion” and sow renewed chaos at the southern United States border amid the ongoing crisis there. . .
The FBI document, dated December 2018, detailed an alleged plot where Antifa activists planned to buy weapons from an alleged Mexican cartel gunman, alias “Cobra Commander,” in order to “stage an armed rebellion at the border” hoping to “disrupt U.S. law enforcement and military security operations at the US/Mexican border,” according to the Union-Tribune.
The FBI learned of the plot while collecting intelligence on American journalists, lawyers, and activists working with migrants in the Tijuana region, a popular destination for migrants heading north from Central America. . .
“Organizers planned for the camps to be used as staging platforms from which five person units would form to train anarchists in fighting, combat, and conducting reconnaissance, and then launch to disrupt U.S. government operations along the border,” the report stated, according to the Union-Tribune.

Feds Investigating Alleged Armed Disruption Attempt at U.S.-Mexico Border in December: Report
By The San Diego Union-Tribune. Two additional law enforcement officials confirmed the investigation is ongoing, although no one has been charged. “Unclassified” means information can be released to people without a security clearance, but the document was also labeled “law enforcement sensitive,” which means it was intended to be seen only by those in law enforcement.
“This is an information report, not finally evaluated intelligence,” the six-page report states. “Receiving agencies are requested not to take action based on this raw reporting without prior coordination with the FBI.”
The FBI sent its report with “priority” to the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Drug Enforcement Agency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Administration, among other agencies.
