Federalist Op-Ed Calls for Palmer Raids–Style Crackdown After Trump Labels Antifa a Terror Group

The author portrays Antifa as a coordinated network, touting the First Red Scare as a template.

Overview

  • President Donald Trump has designated Antifa a domestic terrorist organization and ordered federal departments to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle illegal operations.
  • The op-ed urges nationwide raids on alleged Antifa cells, calling on FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi to marshal federal resources for a sweeping campaign.
  • As historical justification, the article cites the Palmer Raids, noting thousands of arrests and 556 deportations executed within a few months.
  • The piece argues that Antifa functions as an organized, coordinated movement with structure and leadership rather than as a mere idea.
  • The article reports a confrontation at a federal building in Eugene, Oregon, where five people were detained, and links the policy push to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
