Kash 🍊MAGA Queen @JKash000 Congress has failed to provide the United States with a legal framework for designating domestic terror organizations
Antifa has not been officially designated as a terrorist organization in the United States. The U.S. has no legal framework for designating domestic groups as terrorist organizations, only foreign ones under the State Department’s Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) list, and Antifa does not meet those criteria.
There have been political efforts to label Antifa as such. For example, in 2019, Senators Bill Cassidy and Ted Cruz introduced a nonbinding resolution (S.Res.279) calling for Antifa to be designated a domestic terrorist organization, but it was symbolic and lacked legal weight. Similarly, in 2021, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced House Resolution 272 with the same intent, but it did not result in formal designation. In January 2025, Greene introduced another resolution (H.Res.26) to classify Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, but no official designation has occurred.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the Obama administration reportedly classified Antifa activities as “domestic terrorist violence” in 2016, according to Politico, but this was an internal assessment, not a formal designation. FBI Director Christopher Wray has described Antifa as an ideology or movement, not a structured organization, complicating any formal designation.
Posts on X reflect ongoing debates, with some users claiming Antifa is a terrorist group based on resolutions like S.Res.279, while others argue its decentralized nature makes such a designation legally unfeasible. These posts show sentiment but aren’t conclusive evidence.
Legal experts, such as Mary McCord, have noted that designating a domestic group like Antifa would raise significant First Amendment concerns and lack legal grounding under current U.S. law. Attempts to equate Antifa’s actions with terrorism often cite incidents of violence, like protests in Portland or assaults on

We need a way to declare this to be defined as domestic terrorism.
