President Donald Trump has officially designated Antifa as a "domestic terrorist organization," aiming to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle its alleged illegal activities. This unprecedented move comes in the wake of the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, though no direct link to Antifa has been established.
Antifa is a decentralized, leaderless leftist movement opposing far-right groups, known for sometimes using violence, but lacking a formal structure. Critics question how this designation will be enforced given its nature.
