Overview

• Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president may sign an executive order as soon as today and that tracing who funds Antifa and other left‑wing groups will be a top priority.
• There is no federal process to label domestic organizations as terrorist entities, leaving the order’s authority and effect uncertain and likely to draw First Amendment challenges.
• Antifa is widely described as a decentralized movement without formal leadership or membership, complicating efforts to identify targets for enforcement or funding cutoffs.
• Reuters, citing administration and Justice Department sources, reports the plan would direct the FBI to scrutinize domestic and foreign funding and explore overseas ties, though the legal basis remains unsettled.
• Abroad, Hungary says it will pursue a national terrorism designation and has pressed the EU to act, while the Dutch parliament passed a motion urging its government to recognize Antifa as a terrorist organization.
