This order was established shortly after Sept. 11 as part of an effort to provide the State and Treasury departments enhanced capability to block terrorists from the U.S. formal financial system.
Even if it could, it is unlikely that antifa, a movement of individuals and not a coherent group, would likely meet the first prong of the State Department’s legal criteria for designation. To designate an FTO, the State Department must satisfy three legal criteria. First, the entity must have characteristics of a group and be primarily based overseas. Second, the entity must engage in terrorist activity . Third, the terrorist activity cited in the second prong must be a threat to U.S.
The Treasury Department can also sanction terrorists per Executive Order 13224. But it can only piggy-back on an already existing designation of a group, typically one that is already labeled by the State Department as a terrorist organization. Without an underlying State Department designation, the Treasury Department can’t act.
Just another Trump lie as usual.
Because 'they' don't exist as such... kind like it's illegal to make the toothfairy illegal

He’s basically handing down another edict from The Dictator’s Playbook again) Instead of addressing the real issue here... the impeached 45 is not a leader, he's an embarrassment to American Valhalla!

Trump says he'll designate antifa a terror organization, blames group for violence at George Floyd protestsTrump is convinced the loosely affiliated group of militant anti-fascists is behind the violence at protests following George Floyd's death. I've always had this question .. Why did the American people elect a guy like donald trump as president? Do most American citizens really agree with the doctrine and the type of thinking that Trump practices and promotes? 'anti-fascists' you mean paid fascist anarchists. He searches every day for a new enemy. Never stopping to look in the mirror.
