Antifa operates as a sophisticated terrorist network employing violence, intimidation, and coordinated attacks against law enforcement to overthrow constitutional order. Their calculated campaign of destruction — from armed standoffs to systematic assaults on federal agents — demands decisive prosecution. These aren't protesters; they're organized militants weaponizing chaos to suppress freedom and dismantle the rule of law itself.
This prosecution weaponizes post-9/11 counterterrorism powers against political dissent itself. Antifa isn't an organization — it's an ideology — yet vague designations now criminalize anti-capitalist beliefs before any violence occurs. By transforming legitimate protest into terrorism through executive fiat, Trump mirrors authoritarian regimes, exploiting sweeping surveillance powers to silence opposition.
