What Is Antifa, the Leftist Movement Trump Says He’s Labelling ‘Major Terrorist Organization’?

  • President Donald Trump announced on September 17, 2025, that he is designating Antifa as a major terrorist organization, primarily in the U.S.
  • This announcement follows years of violent protests involving Antifa, a loosely organized, decentralized affiliation of anarcho-communist groups lacking clear leadership.
  • Trump strongly recommended thorough investigations into those funding Antifa, emphasizing accountability for money, assets, influence, and legal support backing the movement.
  • Legal experts note the designation expands FBI and Justice Department authority but warn it raises challenges due to Antifa’s ideological nature and First Amendment protections.
  • The designation seeks to improve public safety and boost law enforcement morale, as police in cities like Seattle have faced numerous aggressive protests and attacks linked to Antifa over an extended period.
