October 11, 2025 Reported by AI

Mark Bray, a history professor at Rutgers University and antifascism expert, has left the United States and sought refuge in Spain with his family due to death threats and harassment from conservative groups. Though he denies membership in Antifa, his academic work has made him a target following Donald Trump's designation of the group as terrorist. Bray now lives in Madrid and has moved his classes online for safety reasons.
