order<\/a>, signed by Trump on Monday, describes Antifa as a \u201cmilitarist, anarchist enterprise\u201d that seeks the overthrow of the U.S. government and law enforcement through \u201ca campaign of violence and terrorism.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\nIt cites armed standoffs, riots, assaults on law enforcement, and threats against political figures as examples of Antifa\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBecause of the aforementioned pattern of political violence designed to suppress lawful political activity and obstruct the rule of law, I hereby designate Antifa as a \u2018domestic terrorist organization,\u2019\u201d the order states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It directs federal agencies to take investigatory and prosecutorial actions against those involved in or funding Antifa operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last week, Trump signaled the move in a social media post, calling Antifa a \u201csick, dangerous, radical left disaster.\u201d He also suggested the Justice Department could use racketeering laws against those providing financial support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Antifa, short for \u201canti-fascist,\u201d is generally described by experts as a loose, decentralized movement rather than a formal organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The designation comes after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, who was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
