President Donald J. Trump has signed an order designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. According to the announcement, the decision is based on Antifa's alleged involvement in coordinated actions aimed at obstructing federal law enforcement and using coercion and intimidation to achieve policy goals.
The administration stated, "Antifa engages in coordinated efforts to obstruct enforcement of Federal laws, with the goal of achieving policy objectives by coercion and intimidation – this is domestic terrorism."
The White House emphasized that restoring public safety remains a priority. "Every American deserves to be safe, and President Trump is dedicated to restoring law and order in communities across the United States," according to the statement.
This designation follows ongoing discussions about how groups are classified under domestic terrorism laws in the United States.
