Federal law enforcement has previously described Antifa as an ideology rather than a unified organization, and the administration has not identified specific individuals or groups it will target.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Designating a US-based organization as a terrorist group is an unprecedented step, as all 219 organizations with this designation from the State Department are foreign.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">The announcement drew criticism from Bennie Thompson, the ranking member of the House Committee on Homeland Security. In a statement, the Mississippi Democrat called the order an unprecedented action that ignores the greater threat of right-wing extremism.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">\u201cDesignating Antifa, which has no specific organizational structure or leadership, as a domestic terrorist organization is not only wrong but serves no purpose other than to be an excuse for the Trump administration to suppress dissent, investigate any person or group they do not like, punish their enemies, and label any American they want as a terrorist,\u201d Thompson said.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt had previously announced the order, stating that Trump had promised to designate Antifa as a terrorist organization before last year\u2019s presidential election.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Trump\u2019s rhetoric targeting his political opponents has intensified following the killing of Charlie Kirk in Utah earlier this month, an incident that Utah law enforcement officials have described as a politically motivated attack.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">In a social media post last week, Trump called Antifa a \u201csick, dangerous, radical left disaster\u201d and stated his intention to declare it a \u201cdomestic terrorist organization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Antifa is short for \u201canti-fascists\u201d and is a general term that encompasses left-leaning militant groups that resist neo-Nazis and white supremacists at demonstrations and other events.<\/p>\n<p data-spacing=\"double\">Trump\u2019s attacks on his political opponents were also featured in his speech at Kirk\u2019s memorial service on Sunday. Trump blamed the \u201cradical left\u201d for the heightened tension following the activist\u2019s death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order designating \u201cAntifa\u201d as a \u201cdomestic terrorist organization.\u201d The new order requires the Trump administration to \u201cinvestigate, disrupt, and dismantle\u201d individuals and groups associated with Antifa\u2019s anti-fascist ideology, including \u201cthose who finance such operations.\u201d The order does not specify what actions the government will take against this [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11545,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[176],"tags":[13265,13189,13331,13044,13330,319,5615,13334,13335,7586,13336,13333,13332,6014,821,13337],"class_list":["post-11544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-america","tag-anti-fascist","tag-antifa","tag-bennie-thompson","tag-charlie-kirk","tag-domestic-terrorist-organization","tag-donald-trump","tag-executive-order","tag-federal-law-enforcement","tag-house-committee-on-homeland-security","tag-karoline-leavitt","tag-mississippi","tag-political-opponents","tag-right-wing-extremism","tag-state-department","tag-us","tag-utah"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
