I wonder how long until some Biden or Obama judge issues a TRO to protect antifa.

Is it a formal group? If not, wouldn't you have to have actual plaintiffs that put their name on the lawsuit.

Are you positive about this?

the US Department of Commerce keeps a Denied Parties list and Specially Designated Nationals list which blocks economic transactions.

I believe ANTIFA will now be added to these denial lists.

---

I'm 100% positive.

This Denied Parties list not a domestic terrorist list.

This will likely lead to very little in terms of actionable consequences. The difference between, say, a cartel and an organization like Antifa is that there is, by design, a lack of specific national leadership.

I assume the first step is to label them a terrorist organization and then use that label as justification for investigations trying to line up all the points on the pin board. Does this mean only groups that label themselves explicitly as Antifa are at risk? Or will they include subsets like the local "X for arming X" groups that the Kirk shooter was connected to?

Does this establish probable cause to pull over
and detain bus loads of antifa?

Portland is under constant attack, federal buildings being surrounded for over a month, ice and police officers under attack nationwide by people with ACAB slogans everywhere.. and the mainstream left supports all this. They're just an idea! They're just loosely organized protesters! You can't investigate them or their funding!

---

Here's the irony regarding Portland. I had a friend who is an absolute left wing nut job. Emphasis on "had." He is in a mixed race marriage. His wife is black. When he was "getting out of Texas" they took a cross country trip to decide where they wanted to live. He told me that Portland was one of the most racist cities they visited of all the liberal bastions they looked at.

---

Not surprising in the least. A guy I went to grad school with at TAMU went to Oregon undergrad and was a giant racist. He was from Alaska. I've also heard liberal bastion Boston is insanely racist as well.

Find him funding antifa and poor Soros is going to be locked up

Unfortunately locking up old man Soros and his commie son will be hard. The funding starts at his Open Society Foundation and is filtered through other 'altruistic' (LOL) organizations. It will be hard to prove that he intended to fund Antifa.

Smart commie.

This is good news, all kinds of rats are going to be running now!!

...Antifa isn't an organized group though. Like, this is an empty designation.

We'll designate them.

Hamas not organized? Not sure if serous.


(BTW, antifa not having a formal leader structure is irrelevant. Their actions are what matters)

..and antifa can organize months-long "music festivals" outside of a federal building in Portland to block and harass federal employees. they're organized.

You have already exhibited how you don't know what you're talking about when I have to inform you about one of the most infamous terror groups on the planet. A 'protest movement' (anti vaxx movement, feminist movement, etc) is not an 'organization.'

Ted Cruz talked about why the designation was important on the podcast yesterday. When there were riots on college campuses they all had identical tents and setups. It was not random or organic, someone sent the exact same kits to multiple campuses. Now they can be charged under RICO I think and while Soros may not have much time left, his son likely won't want to spend the rest of his days in a federal prison.

He thinks blm isn't an organization. lol. They are an organization with their leaders being as dumb as their members.

Quote:

---

They can be "charged under RICO" even without this designation.

How about just charge them with the crimes they commit?

They are actually an import invasion from Europe, where known as "black bloc" agitators for their wearing masks and solid black. Yes Soros and similar types behind them over there. Wouldn't be surprise if WEF and US AID as well.

This may have already been answered but can the President actually do this?

ANTIFA is a scourge on our country and should be defeated.

Just curious.

Who are the leaders of antifa and who is funding them?

It would be great if news organizations actually investigated and reported on this with the same ambition as right wing groups. Then we could actually have this conversation.

Past that little hurdle, I'm sure plenty of federal and state authorities know the leaders.

… and why would we expect antifa to be organized in a hierarchical fashion anyway? Isn't that like fascist or something?

DOJ can label a group as domestic terrorists so Trump's orders is likely to DOJ to do it.

The Earth Liberation Front and the Animal Liberation Front are two previous examples. They operated very much like antifa, in their own cells without a centralized control structure. For many years, they were considered by the FBI to be the most dangerous domestic terrorist groups in the US.

Yeah but you can't name anyone so that means they are just protest groups. Lmao.
