In a recent public statement, President Donald Trump asserted that the anti-fascist organization, antifa, should be designated as a domestic terrorist by the Department of Justice. He claims this action is necessary to address escalating political violence linked to the group. The White House has not provided a specific timeframe for the declaration. The administration’s reasoning centers on the group’s activities being perceived as posing a threat to public safety and national security. The statement underscores a shift in policy regarding the organization.
