An OMG journalist spent the past eight months undercover inside New Jersey ANTIFA, infiltrating the private Signal chats of a group known as NJ BURN.
What we uncovered proves ANTIFA is not just an idea. It is a network of real people organizing, coordinating, and operating inside America.
Inside the group's Signal chats, members discussed plans for port blockades, riot activity, support networks for criminal defendants, and celebrated acts of political violence. Using names, profile photos, and digital receipts, OMG traced individuals to positions throughout some of America's most influential organizations.
The same network connected to disruptive port blockades in New Jersey was also active during the unrest surrounding Delaney Hall, where activists confronted law enforcement and journalists outside the immigration detention facility.
Among those identified were an engineer affiliated with @OpenAI & @OpenAINewsroom, an AI Automation Leader at T-Mobile, Rutgers University students and personnel, a Princeton doctoral candidate, a former New Jersey congressional candidate and city councilman, board members connected to the American Civil Liberties Union, and National Lawyers Guild, and nonprofit executives with ties to United Nations-affiliated initiatives.
Some messages in the Signal chats showed these individuals celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination and hoped that the past attempts on President Trump were successful.
The American people deserve to know when individuals involved in activist networks also hold positions within institutions that shape public policy, technology, education, and culture.
These are not simply anonymous individuals organizing online. OMG identified numerous individuals and organizations connected to members of the NJ BURN network and reached out to them for comment. We will update our reporting with any responses we receive.
The identities referenced in this report are based on evidence gathered during our investigation, including social media activity, public records, and other corroborating information. Some identifications remain unknown, and additional information may emerge following publication.
