U.S. House begins work on plan designating Antifa as domestic terrorists
President Donald Trump already has confirmed he would be on board with designating Antifa, and other far-left radicals across America, as domestic terrorists.
His confirmation came in a response to a question from The Center Square.
Now the House of Representatives is working on that very project.
She proposed the legislation a few months ago, and it has been pending before the House Committee on the Judiciary since.
She said that’s changing.
“I just received word from the Speaker that he is fully supporting my bill to designate ANTIFA as a terrorist organization, and it will be placed in the State Department reauthorization bill that will be going through committee this week,” Luna said on social media.

The proposal cites multiple instances of violence from all across America allegedly committed or instigated by members of Antifa, situations that have left behind billions of dollars in damage and injured law enforcement officers.
Antifa rose in prominence after the death in Minneapolis of George Floyd, and purportedly represents those who are “anti-fascists,” although their violent tactics actually align with that political thought at times.
“Over the summer of 2020, Antifa assisted in inflicting over $2,000,000,000 in damages against churches, Federal buildings, businesses, and other downtown structures across 20 States, resulting in the death of at least 30 individuals as well as 700 injured police officers,” the legislation charges.
“[In] March 2023, Antifa-affiliated rioters set fire to the future Atlanta police training facility by launching fireworks, Molotov cocktails, and other destructive items at police officers and into the facility’s construction site resulting in arrests of 23 extremists on charges of domestic terrorism.”
The Department of Justice already has labeled the organization’s violence “as domestic terrorism,” in a verdict that stated, “The violence instigated and carried out by Antifa and other similar groups in connection with the rioting is domestic terrorism and will be treated accordingly.”
Trump said he considering taking the action against not only Antifa, but other groups as well, although he did not name any more.
“He said he’s talked with Attorney General Pam Bondi about bringing federal RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) charges against some of these organizations and their donors,” the report said.
“There are other groups, yeah, there are other groups. We have some pretty radical groups, and they got away with murder. And also, I’ve been speaking to the Attorney General about bringing RICO against some of the people that you’ve been reading about that have been putting up millions and millions of dollars for agitation,” Trump said.
