Left-wing student organizations at Utah Valley University have been caught glorifying the assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk, targeting the campus Turning Point USA chapter, and urging activists to undermine federal immigration enforcement.
According to The Post Millennial, the disturbing behavior has unfolded at the very campus where Kirk was murdered on September 10, 2025, during a live-streamed event. A detailed report from The Cougar Chronicle, a student-run newspaper at Brigham Young University, documents screenshots from Discord chats and protest materials that expose a network of radicalized left-wing students who have repeatedly flirted with political extremism.
In the wake of Kirks killing, activists at UVU formed a group calling itself The Civil Disobedience Club (CDC), which quickly became a hub for inflammatory rhetoric. The Chronicle obtained screenshots of messages in the CDC group chat openly celebrating the assassination of the conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder.
One image secured by the outlet depicted Kirk being shot in the neck with a laser beam, a grotesque echo of the real-life attack in which He was killed with a shot to the neck and his murder was captured on live stream. Another screenshot showed that members were not merely mourning a political opponents death, but reveling in it as a symbolic victory against the right.
Efforts by students to establish a memorial in Kirks honor have been met with organized resistance from the same radical circles. Both the CDC and Utah Valley Universitys chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) have staged protests to block any tribute to the slain conservative, underscoring their hostility toward free expression when it comes from the right.
During one such protest, chalk scrawled on the pavement read Bella Ciao, the title of an Antifa-associated anthem that was reportedly inscribed on one of the bullets used to murder Kirk. Prosecutors have charged Tyler Robinson in connection with the assassination, and the symbolism suggests a deliberate embrace of violent leftist iconography.
The Chronicle also documented graphics shared by club members depicting an ICE agent being shot in the head, with the phrase ICE out written beside the outline of the officer. These images go beyond policy disagreement and veer into explicit incitement against federal law enforcement tasked with upholding the nations immigration laws.
In another incident, SDS and CDC jointly organized an anti-ICE protest where agitators were handed a flyer titled Seven Steps to Stop ICE. The instructions urged activists to set a combative example by impos[ing] consequences every time that ICE inflicts harm on a community, language that appears designed to normalize confrontation and potential harassment.
The same document warned that the consequences of cooperating with ICE must be worse than the consequences of not doing so. Such rhetoric aligns with a broader left-wing campaign to delegitimize immigration enforcement, even as President Trumps second administration has prioritized border security and the rule of law.
Over recent months, UVUs Turning Point USA chapter has repeatedly found itself in the crosshairs of these groups. The Cougar Chronicle reports that CDC Discord messages revealed a coordinated effort to sabotage a TPUSA fundraiser at a local Daves Hot Chicken, with activists flooding the restaurant with fake negative reviews to punish it for hosting conservatives.
In a public call-out, SDS escalated the hostility by declaring that members needed to kick TPUSA off campus. That demand reflects a growing intolerance on the left for peaceful conservative organizing, even at a public university that should be committed to open debate and ideological diversity.
The Chronicle further noted that in January, a leftist student shoved a baby strollerwith a child insideout of his way as he lunged to deface a TPUSA For Charlie poster at a campus tabling event. As these episodes accumulate, they raise serious questions about campus safety, the normalization of political violence against conservatives, and the willingness of university authorities to confront extremist behavior when it comes from the left.
