Trump labels Antifa a major terror threat in new counterterrorism plan
The Trump administration released a counterterrorism plan that designates left-wing networks like Antifa as one of three major types of threats, alongside cartels and Islamist groups, and pledges to map, identify membership, and neutralize these groups at home. It characterizes the ideology as anti-American, radical and anarchist, and notes the aim to use all available tools to map ties to international networks. The plan comes amid questions from officials about Antifa’s size and scope, while citing rare recent left-wing violence as justification for expanding federal counterterrorism efforts.
