                Order of September 22, 2025

                
Designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist 
                Organization

                Section 1. Antifa as a Terrorist Threat. Antifa is a 
                militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls 
                for the overthrow of the United States Government, law 
                enforcement authorities, and our system of law. It uses 
                illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of 
                violence and terrorism nationwide to accomplish these 
                goals. This campaign involves coordinated efforts to 
                obstruct enforcement of Federal laws through armed 
                standoffs with law enforcement, organized riots, 
                violent assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement 
                and other law enforcement officers, and routine doxing 
                of and other threats against political figures and 
                activists. Antifa recruits, trains, and radicalizes 
                young Americans to engage in this violence and 
                suppression of political activity, then employs 
                elaborate means and mechanisms to shield the identities 
                of its operatives, conceal its funding sources and 
                operations in an effort to frustrate law enforcement, 
                and recruit additional members. Individuals associated 
                with and acting on behalf of Antifa further coordinate 
                with other organizations and entities for the purpose 
                of spreading, fomenting, and advancing political 
                violence and suppressing lawful political speech. This 
                organized effort designed to achieve policy objectives 
                by coercion and intimidation is domestic terrorism.

                Sec. 2. Designation as a Domestic Terrorist 
                Organization. Because of the aforementioned pattern of 
                political violence designed to suppress lawful 
                political activity and obstruct the rule of law, I 
                hereby designate Antifa as a ``domestic terrorist 
                organization.'' All relevant executive departments and 
                agencies shall utilize all applicable authorities to 
                investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal 
                operations--especially those involving terrorist 
                actions--conducted by Antifa or any person claiming to 
                act on behalf of Antifa, or for which Antifa or any 
                person claiming to act on behalf of Antifa provided 
                material support, including necessary investigatory and 
                prosecutorial actions against those who fund such 
                operations.

                Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) This order shall be 
                implemented consistent with applicable law. This order 
                is not intended to, and does not, create any right or 
                benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law 
                or in equity by any party against the United States, 
                its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, 
                employees, or agents, or any other person.

                    (b) This order shall be published in the Federal 
                Register.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    September 22, 2025.
