Far Left Black Power Groups Charged for Being Agents of the Russian Government

The FBI announced on Tuesday that Omali Yeshitela, Penny Joanne Hess, Jesse Nevel, and Augustus C. Romain have been arrested for working as agents of the Russian government. All people arrested have connections to the far-left organization, The African People’s Socialist Party. This organization is calling for a Marxist revolution in America and reparations, too.

According to DOJ filings, the far-left group The African People’s Socialist Party worked as an agent for the Russian government, “Moreover, from at least November 2014 until July 2022, Ionov allegedly engaged in a years-long foreign malign influence campaign targeting the United States. As a part of the campaign, Ionov allegedly recruited members of political groups within the United States, including the African People’s Socialist Party and the Uhuru Movement (collectively, the APSP) in Florida, Black Hammer in Georgia and a political group in California (referred to in the superseding indictment as U.S. Political Group 3), to participate in the influence campaign and act as agents of Russia in the United States.”
