Designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization

On September 22, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an order designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. The order describes Antifa as a group that uses violence and illegal activities to challenge the U.S. government and law enforcement, aiming to suppress lawful political activities through intimidation and coercion. The designation directs all relevant executive departments and agencies to use their authority to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle Antifa's illegal operations, particularly those involving terrorism. The order emphasizes the need for investigatory and prosecutorial actions against individuals or entities providing support to Antifa. This directive is to be implemented in accordance with applicable laws and does not create any enforceable legal rights.
