Trump to Designate Antifa as ‘Major Terrorist Organisation’
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced plans to designate Antifa as a major terrorist organisation, escalating his long-running criticism of the left-wing anti-fascist movement. Trump, who has frequently blamed Antifa for fueling unrest during protests, said the designation was necessary to “protect law-abiding Americans from domestic chaos.”
Legal experts, however, argue that U.S. law does not provide a clear framework for designating domestic groups as terrorist organisations, raising questions about how the move would be enforced. Civil rights advocates have also warned that such action could threaten freedom of speech and association, while critics say it may be politically motivated.
Antifa is not a single, centralized group but rather a loose network of activists who oppose far-right ideologies. The proposed designation is expected to spark legal and political battles, as well as renewed debates over how the government defines domestic extremism.
