Antifa groups designated foreign terror organizations for first time

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is moving to designate four violent left-wing groups based in Europe as either foreign terrorist organizations or specifically designated global terrorists as part of a broad crackdown on extremism.

US State Department officials announced the intended designation on Thursday, saying the Antifa groups — Antifa Ost, the International Revolutionary Front, Armed Proletarian Justice, and Revolutionary Class Self Defense — “use force against those they identify as opponents of their Marxist and anarchist projects.”
