Activism

In 2014, while Nadales was a member of the libertarian organization Young Americans for Liberty at Citrus College, he and his chapter sued the school, alleging several constitutional violations.[5] In response, Citrus College agreed to change its policies and pay $110,000 in legal fees.[6]

In 2019, Nadales was invited to the White House by the Trump administration to witness the signing of an executive order meant to promote free speech on college campuses.[7][8] Also in 2019, Nadales claimed that Antifa is "trying to hurt" and "harass" and called for the movement to be labeled a "Domestic Terrorism" threat.[9]

On November 20, 2019, Turning Point USA's Emerson chapter hosted Nadales, who called for open dialogue across the political aisle and a breakdown of America's left-wing "conservative caricature."[1]

In June 2020, on The Ingraham Angle show on Fox News, Nadales responded to U.S. Representative Jerry Nadler's claim that Antifa is an "imaginary" group, saying "That's just false" and "the protests I attended ... weren't imaginary."[10]

In June 2022, Gabriel helped launch Our America an organization with an aim at "empowering young people across the United States to 'celebrate a pride in, connection to, and a responsibility for our community and country."[11]

Books

Nadales is the author of Behind the Black Mask: My Time as an Antifa Activist published by the Post Hill Press in 2020.[12] Nadales also contributed to Unmasking Antifa: Five Perspectives on a Growing Threat, which was published by Center for Security Policy, also in 2020.[13]
