James O’Keefe is once again putting activist networks under a microscope — this time overseas. In newly released undercover footage, O’Keefe’s team infiltrated Cyklopen, an autonomous cultural center in Stockholm frequently described by critics as an ANTIFA organizing hub. What they found, they argue, offers a rare look at how loosely organized activist circles operate across borders, maintain ideological ties, and potentially influence unrest far beyond their local communities.
The investigation also highlighted Framtidens Hus, or “House of the Future,” a taxpayer-funded youth center where roughly 15 staff members reportedly earn about $5,000 per month to provide free music, cooking, gaming, and other activities for teens. The center is fully funded by Swedish taxpayers. “Totally tax-payer funded,” one investigator emphasized, raising broader questions about how public money intersects with activist culture in parts of Europe.
To gain access to restricted spaces where cameras are banned, O’Keefe posed as an American convert to Islam. After initially receiving no response at Cyklopen’s door despite activity inside, a masked individual eventually allowed the team in. A hidden camera captured conversations in which members said newcomers needed to prove their commitment before being welcomed further. While one individual denied formal ties to ANTIFA, symbols and messaging commonly associated with the movement were visible throughout the building.

BREAKING: O’Keefe Goes Undercover As A Muslim In Stockholm to Infiltrate ANTIFA ‘Cyklopen’ HQThe reporting echoes previous undercover work from Project Veritas, including footage inside Rose City ANTIFA in Portland. That earlier effort identified activists Johan and Caroline Victorin, who later relocated to Sweden — where Swedish citizen journalist Christian Peterson reportedly tracked them down.
While that investigation focuses on Europe, a major legal battle unfolding in Texas is bringing the ANTIFA debate home.
Federal prosecutors allege that in the days leading up to July 4, 2025, members of a Signal group chat titled “4th of July Party!” discussed bringing fireworks, guns, and medical kits to the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, where immigrants are held in ICE custody. On July 4, fireworks were launched toward the facility. When law enforcement responded, prosecutors say a masked individual opened fire from nearby woods, striking Alvarado Police Lt. Thomas Gross.
Authorities have described the incident as a “planned ambush with the intent to kill ICE corrections officers.” A total of 19 individuals were eventually arrested. Several face charges, including rioting, providing material support to terrorists, conspiracy to use explosives, and attempted murder. Fireworks are classified by prosecutors as explosives under federal law in this context.
Defendants tell a sharply different story. Some insist the event was intended as a “noise demonstration” — a show of solidarity for detainees inside. Family members describe those charged as activists, not terrorists. None of the defendants have prior violent crime convictions, though prosecutors allege one defendant, Benjamin “Champagne” Song, acted as the shooter and group leader.
The trial, beginning this week, could become a pivotal test of President Donald Trump’s unprecedented designation of antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. Because antifa is not a formal organization and federal law lacks a specific domestic terrorism charge equivalent to foreign terrorism statutes, legal experts say the Prairieland case may shape how such prosecutions unfold nationwide.
If convictions follow, it could redefine the legal boundary between protest and terrorism. If the government falls short, critics argue it may weaken efforts to treat loosely organized extremist movements as coordinated threats.
Either way, from Stockholm’s activist hubs to a Texas detention center under fire, the spotlight on antifa-linked networks is intensifying — and the courtroom may soon determine just how far federal prosecutors can go.
