President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced he will designate antifa, a left-wing activist group, a “major terrorist organization.”
Trump described the group as “A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER” in a Truth Social announcement.
The president added he will be “strongly recommending” that those funding antifa be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices.
The announcement comes just days after Trump said he would “100%” consider the designation.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office Monday, Trump accused antifa participants of being “professional agitators” in response to the administration’s recent crackdown on illegal immigration.
“Antifa is terrible,” the president said. “These aren’t protests, these are crimes that they’re doing. They’re throwing bricks at cars of the ICE and Border Patrol. … They’re professional agitators. … They should be put in jail. What they’re doing to this country is really subversive.”
