President Donald Trump signed an executive order late Tuesday night instructing the State Department to restrict visas to foreigners affiliated with Antifa and is calling on the Department of Justice to classify the anarchist organization as a domestic terrorist group.
"Reliable reporting suggests that the movement known as Antifa is directly or indirectly responsible for some of the recent lawlessness in our communities, and has exploited tragedies to advance a radical, leftist, anarchist, and often violent agenda. In fact, Antifa has long used otherwise permissible demonstrations to engage in lawless, criminal behavior to further its radical agenda," the order states. "The violence spurred on by Antifa -- such as hurling projectiles and incendiary devices at police, burning vehicles, and violently confronting police in defiance of local curfews -- is dangerous to human life and to the fabric of our Nation. These violent acts undermine the rights of peaceful protestors and destroy the lives, liberty, and property of the people of this Nation, especially those most vulnerable."
"The Secretary of State shall, in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security, review information received from the Department of Justice and other authorities to assess whether to classify Antifa as a terrorist organization under section 1182(a)(3)(B)(vi) of title 8, United States Code," it continues.
The order comes after months of violent destruction by the organization and shortly after Antifa members descended on the northern Virginia home of Republican Senator Josh Hawley, who was not there, and terrorized his wife and newborn daughter.

Should have happened a long time ago.
Although it might be too late.
And the AG will ignore him.
Good, but frankly - should’ve happened ages ago.
Next, BLM.
But, this has no teeth as he’s a lame duck. It’ll be stopped in 4 weeks. And the wall will be pulled down, etc.
They will undo the classification after Jan 20
That means they get extra protections, right?
The DC DOJ? That key component of the Dark State will be sure to disregard any lawful laws, disregard the multitude of High Criminals running DC and the numerous Traitors to USConstitution, aiding and abiding our enemies domestic.
What an evil masquerade of evil DC is.
President Trump, thank you for this utterly useless, symbolic gesture.
Absolutely, and the ones doing the "stopping" will take heat for all the subsequent carnage.
Wonder why he did not do that earlier. Maybe Barr would have nixxed it anyway.
At this point will DOJ actually do it?
What about the FBI?
Antifa and BLM are the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party and their international corporate masters.
They are “protected”...
It would make more sense to issue warrants today for insurrection.
And have the FEC de-certify the Democrat National Committee as an ongoing criminal enterprise. Turn all the (D)s to (I)s overnight.
Thank you, President Trump
Good, now let’s see the Dimms squirm to take these scum off the list as they continue to create chaos and mayhem across the country.
FBI is a minor subordinate bureau of the DOJ.
Release Obama’s records.
He should do it, but its for optics
He wants Biden to have to withdraw it
Yep. A year late.
I don’t think Biden is going to get in.
Are you listening to President Trump’s speech?
