WASHINGTON — In an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, Customs and Border Protection chief Mark Morgan said that "groups like Antifa" are sending organized protestors by plane to cities around the country to incite violence.

“That's a typical tactic of some of these groups like Antifa,” said Morgan. “They will fly in people from outside the city, outside the state to go in, to cause violence … That's being done in cities across this country."

But when asked by NBC News to provide examples of groups sending protestors by plane to cause violence, a CBP spokesman said there was no information to support Acting Commissioner Morgan’s claim. Instead, the spokesman said Morgan was referring generally to the fact that many protestors at protests around the country are from out of state.

More than once, President Donald Trump has claimed that individuals wearing dark uniforms have been coordinating their efforts to fly into cities to incite violence at protests.
