President Donald Trump has officially designated "ANTIFA," or "Anti-Fascist Action," as a terrorist group. This classification as a "major terrorist organization" indicates the seriousness of the designation.
The specifics of this designation, including whether it pertains to ANTIFA"s domestic activities or its global network spanning America, Europe, Asia, and South America, are still unclear. Additionally, it remains to be seen how individuals contributing to "anti-fascist" causes will be affected by this classification, as ANTIFA is said to lack a hierarchical command structure and consists of various media apparatuses and localized cells.
For further context, it may be beneficial to review information regarding America"s "Global War On Terror," particularly the unified intelligence gathering systems among different branches of government and agencies, which could provide insights into how this designation and potential actions against ANTIFA may unfold.
