President Donald Trump has signed an executive order classifying the Antifa movement as a terrorist organization. Antifa, short for "anti-fascist," is not a formal organization but rather a loosely connected movement known for its opposition to far-right ideologies.
According to a statement from the White House, President Trump has directed all federal agencies to investigate, prevent, and dismantle any illegal activities associated with Antifa, as well as to identify individuals who provide financial support to the movement.
This action follows a series of commitments by President Trump to address left-wing groups, particularly in the wake of the killing of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. Last week, President Trump announced his intention to designate Antifa as a terrorist entity.
The executive order represents a significant escalation in the federal government's approach to groups it identifies as engaging in unlawful protest or violence. The move has prompted discussion about the legal and practical implications of labeling a loosely organized movement as a terrorist group.
