Articles / Government / White House Top White House official hints Antifa could soon be designated foreign terror group: ‘Stay tuned’ Antifa became a household topic when their movement produced violence across multiple U.S. cities, resulting in death, destruction and mayhem. By: President Donald Trump may soon designate Antifa a foreign terrorist group, upgrading it from a domestic terrorist organization, which would provide a vast array of additional resources, funding and enforcement mechanisms. “A whole panoply of tools, a whole toolbox opens up with the FTO (foreign terrorist organization) designation for terrorist organizations — tools that sit under [Treasury Secretary] Scott Bessent’s control at Treasury and under Marco [Rubio], dual-hatted as the Secretary of State,” Dr. Sebastian Gorka, the White House’s top counterterrorism official, told Just The News. When asked whether Trump may soon designate Antifa a foreign terror group, Gorka expressed confidence that a decision was near. “Antifa has been an international terrorist organization since its inception in Germany shortly after World War I,” he said. “So this isn’t just about something happening on the street in Portland. This is about an international network, an internationally funded network, of those trying to undermine Western civilization and our Constitution also. Let me just say, stay tuned.” Antifa’s foreign roots, funding Trump hinted at the designation change on Wednesday at the White House during a townhall discussion with journalists who have extensively covered Antifa’s riots and destruction. Responding to a member of the White House pool about whether he would upgrade Antifa’s designation to FTO, Trump answered, “Well, has that been done? Pretty close, right?” Trump emphasized the change, telling Secretary of State Marco Rubio, “We’ll take care of it.” Speaking about the gravity of such a galvanic change in the handling of Antifa by Trump, Gorka said, “It’s an incredible explosion of statecraft tools that is provided with the FTO designation. So whether it’s al Qaeda or Antifa, it provides us a lot of additional tools, and that’s why the president’s decision is so very, very important. Gorka, who serves as Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council, said the government has the power “not just to sanction individual organizations, to go after them, but it’s also individuals or those who assist the terrorists, to give them succor, aid, training, financing.” The FTO designation effectively serves as a ban on the organization, making it unlawful for anyone in the United States to knowingly supply material support or resources to the designated entity. Antifa has operated on U.S. soil for at least a half-century, with a resurgence of activity occurring in the 2010s. As an organized far-left activist movement which claims to oppose fascism, the group has been connected to violent incidents during protests, often involving violence through property destruction, attacks on law enforcement, and clashes with right-wing groups, according to studies by the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the Anti-Defamation League. Antifa merely an “idea,” Democrat insists Aligning with left-wing ideology, many Democrats have referred to Antifa as a nebulous, spontaneous movement, with former President Joe Biden notoriously referring to it as “an idea, not an organization.” However, according to the Government Accountability Institute’s Director of Research Seamus Bruner, “Antifa isn’t a spontaneous movement, it’s a coordinated network with funding that traces back to powerful interests at home and abroad.” Bruner, who is the bestselling author of Controligarchs, discusses his organization’s study into Antifa and warned, “Our research shows the same dark-money and nonprofit structures bankrolling US protest movements are also enabling Antifa-aligned groups overseas. A foreign terror designation could finally expose these global funding pipelines.” Biden isn’t the only Democrat who has downplayed Antifa’s existence and violent impact domestically. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler referred to Antifa as a “myth” that “does not exist” in 2020, effectively dismissing reports of its involvement in violent protests and providing political cover for its actions. Oregon Governor Tina Kotek has been accused of enabling Antifa through lax enforcement and coordinated responses that prolonged unrest in Portland, allowing the group to act as informal shock troops against conservative events without significant repercussions. Vice President Kamala Harris indirectly supported Antifa-linked Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 by promoting a bail fund for those arrested during Black Lives Matter demonstrations, where Antifa militants were often involved in the violence. In 2017, violent confrontations erupted in Charlottesville, Virginia, during the “Unite the Right” rally, where Antifa counter-demonstrators fought with conservative supporters of the cause, resulting in injuries and one death caused by a vehicle attack. During a boiling point of political tensions in Portland, Oregon, the Democrat-led city became the focal point of unrest from 2017 to 2020, with Antifa-linked Black Lives Matter protests leading to over 100 nights of chaos, including fires, vandalism of federal property, and assaults on police with rocks and lasers. In Seattle’s 2020 “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” also known as CHAZ or CHOP (Capitol Hill Organized Protest), Antifa-affiliated groups were implicated in armed patrols and violent incidents, contributing to two still-unsolved deaths, based on local law enforcement accounts. From 2021 to 2023, violence decreased but continued in events like the Atlanta “Cop City” protests, where Antifa-linked individuals used Molotov cocktails and sabotage against construction sites, injuring officers and prompting federal charges. In 2024 and 2025, Antifa’s activities during election-related rallies in cities like Minneapolis and Berkeley involved minor disruptions, with no major casualties but ongoing scrutiny from the FBI and law enforcement.

Articles / Government / White House WH Press Secretary Leavitt says Democrats’ language attacking ICE is ‘despicable’ It’s OK to kill a Nazi? Violence against ICE facilities has escalated tensions around immigration enforcement, endangered lives and has prompted heightened security measures for law enforcement. That hasn’t stopped Democratic leaders from using language that assailants say justifies violence. By: The White House on Friday made clear that sending federal troops to U.S. cities is, in large part, a response to the broader trend of local law enforcement not doing enough to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities. In a response to queries from Just The News, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “The law enforcement that we have here and the Homeland Security task force, I spoke with them this morning, and what they’re seeing is that, unfortunately, local police have been restricted from responding or cooperating at all with federal authorities which his completely absurd.” Leavitt’s remarks follow a particularly turbulent night in Oregon which saw tensions spill over at a protest outside the ICE facility in South Portland, with Portland Police Bureau officers overseeing the scene and only intervening after several physical altercations broke out among demonstrators. October 1 was reportedly the 100th night of such violence. Leavitt went on to say that “We have surged federal law enforcement personnel to this city [Oregon] to restore law and order and to work alongside local law enforcement. And we’ve seen the benefits of this in Washington DC […] Washington, D.C. is and feels much safer because of the cooperation between federal and local law enforcement.” ICE under attack nationwide The incident in Portland is one of many such incidents, most recently in Dallas. On September 24, 29-year-old Joshua Jahn carried out a sniper attack from a nearby parking structure on an ICE facility in Dallas, firing high-powered rounds that killed two detained immigrants and critically injured a third, who was shot eight times. The local Fox News affiliate KDFW reported that Jahn left notes saying that “he wanted to terrorize ICE.” Jahn had reportedly planned the assault for months using apps to track ICE agents and left notes expressing hatred for the federal government and a desire to “cause terror,” He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a standoff with law enforcement. FBI Director Kash Patel said that “One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase ‘ANTI ICE’” and added that “it has to end.” Apple has removed ICEBlock and similar apps that allow people to alert others nearby about sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in their area, according to CNN, but it’s a move that comes too late for victims of anti-ICE violence, some of whom were the very people that the assailants purportedly spoke for. Democrats insist on demonizing ICE, winking at violence The incidents of violence against ICE agents come at the same time as Democrats like California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, have sharply criticized ICE, using terms like “secret police,” a reference to Adolf Hitler’s Gestapo. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., has referred to ICE as “kidnappers” and has called them a “terrorist force.” “I have no rhetoric that I regret. Nothing that I have said is rhetoric that incites violence. All of it is about what is actually happening,” Jayapal told ABC News. The list of Democrats using fiery rhetoric and hyperbole is extensive. Illinois’ Democratic governor, Gov. JB Pritzker claimed the country is becoming “Nazi Germany” because ICE is “grabbing people off the street […] and disappearing them.” Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Texas, referred to ICE agents as “thugs.” Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., said ICE agents are “vile and beyond cruel,” and that the agency should be abolished. Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said it was his “priority” to ensure ICE agents “are no longer faceless,” comparing them to “some 1800s bank robber or some KGB officer in Russia.” Reinforcing the need for coordination between local and federal law enforcement, including ICE officers, Leavitt urged, “They can and must be working together, and we think it’s despicable that these local elected officials who swear an oath to their people are preventing law enforcement from doing their jobs on the ground.” “If the mayor of Portland were to call him [Trump] and say, ‘Mr President, please help us,’ I’m sure the president would be willing to do that. He is genuinely serious about wanting to restore order in America’s cities, but it’s become apparent that the local and elected officials in Oregon do not feel the same and that’s very unfortunate for the people who live there.” TOP STORIES Despite appearances, the NFL still pays lip service to ‘woke’ crowd WH Press Secretary Leavitt says Democrats’ language attacking ICE is ‘despicable’ How Trump can navigate budget negotiations to avert government shutdown ‘Charlie Kirk effect’ in full force as voters register Republican in large numbers Convention of States effort surges as Trump aims at shrinking size, scope of federal government LATEST EPISODES Ex-US Attorney Bud Cummins: DOJ credibility ‘annihilated’ by Comey, McCabe, Obama-era elites, indictment is justified SC Congressman Ralph Norman: Democrats are driving the shutdown while Republicans fight for fiscal sanity Amanda Head is unfiltered: What it’s REALLY like covering President Trump’s Admin. from inside the White House EXPOSED: How millions of ineligible voters stayed on California rolls & how activists are cleaning up elections Pregnant women should be trusted to make decisions, don’t need noble lies from gov’t or maker of Tylenol RELATED ARTICLES Despite appearances, the NFL still pays lip service to ‘woke’ crowd WH Press Secretary Leavitt says Democrats’ language attacking ICE is ‘despicable’ How Trump can navigate budget negotiations to avert government shutdown Convention of States effort surges as Trump aims at shrinking size, scope of federal government Fed rate cut makes minimal immediate impact, but long-term effects in question Trump visits a U.K. facing internal social, political turmoil with message of freedom, friendship Trump Agriculture Department funds Farm-to-School program at historic levels Ignored by media, enabled by Dems: how soft-on-crime policies unleashed murder of Ukrainian refugee Trump administration wants to revolutionize AI’s integration into education
