> President Trump's plan to label Antifa a terrorist organization

In Trump's campaign against antifa, observers see an attempt to
distract from protesters' genuine outrage



"Trump cannot, for practical and legal reasons, formally designate
antifa a terrorist organization, and neither he nor his attorney
general has made public specific evidence that the far-left movement
is orchestrating the fiery protests that have erupted in dozens of
U.S. cities."
...
...
"As this tweet demonstrates, terrorism is an inherently political
label, easily abused and misused," ACLU National Security Project
Director Hina Shamsi said in response. "There is no legal authority
for designating a domestic group. Any such designation would raise
significant due process and First Amendment concerns."

Law enforcement and federal officials say outside elements from both
far-right and far-left groups are helping fuel the violent and
damaging confrontations that have marred protests across the country
in recent days, despite Trump's focus just on Antifa and the far left.


Although interference may be happening, federal and local officials
have yet to provide evidence to the public.
