State Department Takes Action Amid FBI Investigation into Radical Groups and Charlie Kirk Assassination Plot
The FBI is investigating whether radical groups had prior knowledge of the Charlie Kirk assassination plot, with a focus on Armed Queers Salt Lake City. The State Department has taken action in response to this scrutiny. Armed Queers SLC is a socialist organization dedicated to the defense of oppressed communities, with principles including the protection of queer and trans communities and trans liberation. The group has been active in LGBTQ, anti-imperialist, and labor movements towards a socialist future, including training sessions in Cuba.
Following Kirk's assassination, Armed Queers began deleting its social media profiles. Ermiya Fanaeian, a member of Armed Queers, was involved in the LGBT gun rights group Pink Pistols but was later removed for promoting broader political issues. Fanaeian, who supported Sen. Elizabeth Warren's campaign, also received an award from Utah Global Diplomacy for work with trans people. The State Department is severing ties with any organization connected to Fanaeian.
