Ex-Secret Service agent: Riots are 'sophisticated insurrection' by Antifa

His comments came in the wake of President Trump tweeting Sunday that he wants to declare the far-left group Antifa a domestic terror organization.

Bongino said he's been told "Known Antifa leadership is there" organizing riots.

Bongino said Attorney General Bill Barr and the president "Need to legally decapitate Antifa today."

"Unless someone can prove to me ANTIFA is behind the burning of black and immigrant owned businesses in my ward, I'll keep focusing on stopping the white power terrorist THE ARE ACTUALLY ATTACKING US!". Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz mobilized the National Guard over the weekend, contending "White supremacists" and "Cartels" bore some of the blame for the violence, without naming any groups.

Jones reported seeing a video of antifa members being told to "Stop destroying the businesses" and responding, "They're going to kill you anyway."

Slate contended Trump cannot designated antifa as a terrorist group since "They are neither terrorists nor an organization."

The report called antifa "a loose collection of individuals and groups that engage in aggressive mobilization against far-right extremist movements, especially violent white supremacists. Within antifa there are also anarchists, a portion of whom descend on protests to engage in vandalism and violence, with the overall goal of destruction and destabilization."
