When President Donald Trump designated Antifa a domestic terrorist organization last week, critics attacked the move, calling Antifa merely an idea.
Ideas don’t need lawyers, yet the Antifa-affiliated nonprofit National Lawyers Guild (NLG) exists in part to offer legal services to other Antifa organizations. NLG describes itself as anti-fascist, and it is directly connected to violent Antifa protest groups and individuals, because it shows up at their demonstrations, protests and riots, and advocates for those who get arrested.
