In the aftermath of riots that appeared to have hijacked peaceful protests over the death of George Floyd, President Donald Trump announced on Twitter on Sunday that the left-wing "Anti-fascist" coalition known as antifa will be designated as a terrorist organization.
"The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization," Trump wrote.
The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.
Designating antifa as a terrorist organization would increase the ability of law enforcement agencies such as the FBI to conduct surveillance and other activities targeted at its affiliates.
Trump, who has threatened to act against groups in the past, cited antifa for igniting riots in another Sunday tweet.
"Congratulations to our National Guard for the great job they did immediately upon arriving in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last night. The ANTIFA led anarchists, among others, were shut down quickly. Should have been done by Mayor on first night and there would have been no trouble!" he tweeted.
100%. 0%. "These antifa militant radicals who come into our cities and cross state lines, and they're organized, and use Molotov cocktails and fireworks and gas to burn down our cities, especially businesses in minority neighborhoods, it's got to be stopped," he said.
