Trump May Declare Antifa ‘Major’ Terror\u00a0Organization<\/span><\/h2>\n

July 28, 2019<\/p>\n

President Trump tweeted on Saturday that he is considering labeling the militant, black-clad, mask-wearing ‘anti-fascist’ group known as Antifa as a terrorist organization, just one week after GOP Senators introduced a bill to “properly” identify the group as domestic terrorists.<\/p>\n

Antifa has gained notoriety since the 2016 election for instigating violent confrontations with conservatives – most recently journalist Andy Ngo, who was\u00a0beaten and robbed<\/a>\u00a0by members of Portland’s Antifa cell, sending him to the hospital.<\/p>\n

In July, 2018, the same Portland groupl, Rose City Antifa, planned a “direct confontation” with participants at a pro-Trump rally – “calling for militant antifascist resistance against Patriot Prayer,<\/strong>” according to a call to action on the leftist website, “It’s Going Down.<\/a>” https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2019-07-28\/trump-may-declare-antifa-major-terror-organization<\/a><\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s warning follows a nonbinding resolution<\/a> introduced earlier this month by Sen. Ted Cruz<\/a> (R-Texas) calling for the \u201cdesignation of Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.<\/a>\u201d Cruz later called on Attorney General William Barr to investigate Antifa<\/a>. He attacked Antifa after conservative journalist Andy Ngo was bloodied in a clash<\/a>\u00a0last month with counterprotesters in Portland, Oregon.<\/p>\n

Lawbreakers driven by political ideology aren\u2019t charged in the U.S. with domestic terrorism, but rather with offenses such as assault, hate crimes or homicide. But designating antifascist protesters as a terror organization would allow\u00a0law enforcement more leeway to investigate<\/a> participants, as well as their affiliations, according to Georgetown University law professor Neal Katyal, a former national security adviser to the Justice Department. …<\/p>\n

Antifa is a loosely linked collection of groups<\/a> of protesters who take on right-wing demonstrators on an ad hoc basis, rather than a single organized group. Designating such protesters as part of a terror group risks branding any demonstrators against a right-wing ideology as terrorists. 07\/27\/19 https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/antifa-terror-organization-trump-far-right-killings_n_5d3cc877e4b0ef792e0d1ecc<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is what Donald Trump tweeted:<\/p>\n

Consideration is being given to declaring ANTIFA, the gutless Radical Left Wack Jobs who go around hitting (only non-fighters) people over the heads with baseball bats, a major Organization of Terror (along with MS-13 & others). Would make it easier for police to do their job!<\/p>\n
