Overview

• Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Trump intends to sign an executive order declaring Antifa a domestic terror organization as soon as it is drafted, possibly later today.
• Leavitt said the administration will prioritize tracing and investigating who funds Antifa and other violent left‑wing groups.
• Trump last week publicly labeled Antifa a “major terrorist organization” and said he would strongly recommend investigations into those who finance it.
• Because Antifa is a decentralized, U.S.-based movement, there is no established federal process to designate it as a terrorist organization, and First Amendment concerns complicate enforcement.
• Abroad, Hungary’s leaders said they will seek a national designation and urged the European Union to add Antifa to its terrorist list, while the Dutch parliament passed a motion asking the government to recognize Antifa as a terrorist organization.
