Not by the "alt-right baddies" per se, but the history of infiltration against "subversive" groups by American law enforcement and intelligence - in particular against black activist groups - is long and well documented. When it comes to leftist activism in the US I assume COINTELPRO by default.
Similar effort against right-wing groups is more limited and politically difficult because such groups would be considered militias protected by the Second Amendment. It's much easier to get away with suppressing left-wing speech than right-wing violence in the US.
