"Driving the news: Trump's order accuses antifa of coordinating efforts to "obstruct enforcement of Federal laws through armed standoffs with law enforcement, organized riots, violent assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other law enforcement officers, and routine doxing of and other threats against political figures and activists." It directs all relevant federal agencies to "investigate, disrupt, and dismantle" antifa operations."
"White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a briefing Monday that the U.S. had seen "a rise in violence, perpetuated by antifa, radical people across this country who subscribe to this group." Jackson said in her emailed statement that antifa "is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that uses violence and terrorism to try and accomplish their sick goals." She alleged "Democrat politicians have tried to downplay" antifa's "reign of terror and looked the other way while left-wing violence plagued American communities""
President Trump issued an order accusing antifa of coordinating armed standoffs, organized riots, violent assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other law enforcement, routine doxing, and threats against political figures and activists. The order directs federal agencies to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle antifa operations. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the U.S. has seen a rise in violence perpetuated by antifa and radical people who subscribe to the group. Supporters labeled antifa a militarist, anarchist enterprise using violence and terrorism. Civil liberties groups argue antifa cannot be legally designated as a terrorist organization because it is decentralized and leaderless under U.S. law.
