| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A notorious hacker once nicknamed 'Anarchaos' and his identical twin brother, both of whom have done serious federal and state prison time, are allegedly leading an Antifa terror cell in Chicago ramping up violent protests against ICE, sources told Daily Mail. Jeremy and Jason Hammond, 40, who have rap sheets going back 15 years, were both detained at an anti-ICE protest at a facility in Broadview, Illinois, on September 26 – just four days after President Trump signed an executive order designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. Three conservative activists on the ground in Chicago as well as law enforcement sources said the Hammonds have been front and center at recent anti-ICE protests in the Chicago area, and have been actively doxxing those fighting against leftist school boards and illegal immigration and for the police since 2020. Jeremy, who was once called the 'world's greatest computer hacker,' was first jailed over hacking into the right-wing Protest Warrior group in 2005 and was later convicted of computer fraud in 2013 for hacking the private intelligence form Stratfor and giving the data to Wikileaks. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and released in November 2020. Rolling Stone called him a 'legendary hacker and radical anarchist' that the FBI was determined to take down 'by any means necessary' in a 2012 profile. His brother Jason was also arrested in 2013 for his part in a brutal attack on a restaurant in Tinley Park, Illinois. Police said at the time that Jason was among 18 masked men who stormed the restaurant and attacked diners having lunch – some of whom they believed to be white supremacists – with bats, clubs, and hammers. Ten people were injured. In January 2015, Jason was sentenced to 41 months in state prison. The infamous twins, who share an X account and a website both called TwinTrouble, were taken into custody at the recent Broadview protest after they were seen blocking police cars and fighting with ICE supporters. An ICE source who spoke on condition of anonymity said the FBI had detained the twins - who he added are well-known to Chicago-area law enforcement. They were previously arrested in August 2024 for disruptive protesting at the Democratic National Convention. Their music teacher dad, Jack Hammond, 68, who raised the boys as a single father and who was convicted of fondling an underage teen student in 2018,
Jack Hammond said his sons were not charged. The FBI, citing the current government lockdown, was not available for comment. Jack said Jason had been hit by about seven to eight rubber bullets but Jeremy was unharmed. Hammond denied that his sons were Antifa leaders of any sort but said he supports the movement. 'I can't imagine any reason why you or I should not be Antifa, you know,' Hammond said. 'My father fought against fascism in World War II. Those people were anti-fascist and we should all be as well.' The Hammond twins are also behind an online game and instruction manual called 'Smash MAGA!' that advocates for the overthrow of the 'hordes' of MAGA zealots 'infected with the Trump zombie virus'. Since Trump's designation of Antifa as a domestic terror organization, sources in Chicago say law enforcement is doubling down on investigating suspected Antifa members. Conservative activists in the Chicago area say that the Hammond twins and some of their associates – including local left-wing activist David Anzelc – have made their lives miserable in recent years. Terry Newsome, 64, a salesman from Downers Grove, turned into an activist around 2021 when he began protesting what he said were pornographic LBGTQ+ books like 'Genderqueer' at Downers Grove High School where his children were then students. Newsome, who now hosts a podcast called 'Behind Enemy Lines' and was briefly associated with the Proud Boys group, began sparring with what he calls 'radical leftist moms' at school board meetings about the issue and soon found himself targeted by the Hammonds, he said. 'They started posting pictures of me on the Chicago antifa X account,' Newsome said. 'I wasn't the only one. They went after other moms and dads as well. Other dads got threatening letters from Antifa left on their driveways. 'I was an older dad, I had my kids at 45, so they began calling me 'Pops.' Like they'd say I was willing to take a bullet to stop communism and then they'd say 'it's time to drop Pops'.'
