## Summary

The government has officially labeled Antifa as a domestic terrorist group because of its violent actions against law enforcement and political figures. This means federal agencies will now use all their powers to investigate, stop, and break up Antifa’s illegal activities. The order starts right away and could lead to more arrests and funding crackdowns.
