Paxton says the Scruston Anti-Fascist Committee has aided in the commission of terrorism and doxing, or publishing people's private information with malicious intent.

The committee self-identifies with Antifa, a decentralized ideology that the Trump administration has deemed a domestic terror threat.

A section of the group's blog is dedicated to posting personal information about local members of far-right and neo-Nazi organizations.

Scruston also raised money for people arrested in connection with a shooting near an ICE detention center south of Dallas.

Paxton says he's requested records and documents to identify any of Scruston's potential legal violations.

The Justice Department charged Ali Daniel Hamani with illegally owning a gun as a user of illegal drugs after the FBI found a gun, cocaine and marijuana in his home.

But a district court dismissed the indictment after finding it was unconstitutional to put a blanket ban on drug users owning guns.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed.

The DOJ appealed, arguing Hemani and other regular drug users pose a serious firearm safety risk.

Hemani's attorneys argue the federal statute puts millions of people at risk of breaking the law because at least 20 percent of Americans have tried pot.
