It’s Official, Antifa is a Terrorist Organization

After claiming last week that Antifa was a dangerous threat, President Donald Trump has officially declared Antifa a domestic terrorist organization, signing an executive order that lays out in detail the anarchist group’s violent campaign against law enforcement, political opponents, and even ordinary Americans.

The White House’s rapid response announced the move on social media:

“NEW: President Donald J. Trump just signed an order officially designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.

Section 1. Antifa as a Terrorist Threat. Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law. … This organized effort designed to achieve policy objectives by coercion and intimidation is domestic terrorism.

Sec. 2. Designation as a Domestic Terrorist Organization. … I hereby designate Antifa as a ‘domestic terrorist organization.’” 

The official White House fact sheet underscores the danger Antifa poses:

“Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law. It uses illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide… Antifa recruits, trains, and radicalizes young Americans to engage in this violence and suppression of political activity… This organized effort designed to achieve policy objectives by coercion and intimidation is domestic terrorism.”

The administration also released a detailed list of Antifa’s recent history of violence:

“In July 2025, members of an Antifa cell ambushed officers at an ICE facility in Texas… In February 2024, a transgender Antifa terrorist detonated an explosive device outside the office of Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall… In 2020, Antifa terrorists designated a substantial portion of the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle as a so-called ‘autonomous zone,’ leading to multiple deaths and injuries… In 2017, an anti-Trump socialist opened fire on Members of Congress playing baseball, wounding Rep. Steve Scalise and four others.”
