Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf offered a harsh evaluation of the anarchist group Antifa Wednesday, declaring that in certain capacities, the left-wing group “absolutely” meets the standards worthy of condemnation as a “domestic terrorist group.”
“I think what we see with them individually targeting law enforcement, individually targeting certain officials for certain reasons, that is the definition of domestic terrorism,” Wolf told The Federalist, going on to explain, however, that the group’s decentralized nature makes it difficult for law enforcement to offer effective surveillance and widespread prosecution.
“The issue with Antifa,” Wolf explained, “it’s not just one singular group. It’s a loosely knit organization that’s very hard to define, very hard to define who’s a part of it.”
Wolf pointed to the FBI conducting several ongoing investigations into the group to greater understand its underpinnings. That could benefit law enforcement agencies nationwide grappling with intensifying violence as major U.S. cities suffer under a historic moment of civil unrest.
While Wolf, who was officially nominated Tuesday to fill the post he currently serves in an “acting” capacity, characterized Antifa as a domestic terrorist group in some cases, the DHS’s mission lies primarily with protecting federal agents and property. That includes Portland, where rioters held a federal courthouse under siege in skirmishes between militant anarchists firing mortar-style fireworks and the police defending government buildings. In July alone, Wolf told congressional lawmakers earlier this month, more than 100 federal law enforcement agents sustained 277 injuries in Portland, nearly half of which were eye injuries from lasers that can cause permanent blindness.
As the nation sees the beginning of a second wave of violent protests terrorizing its major cities in Kenosha and Minneapolis this week, Portland demonstrators surpassed their 90th day of consecutive domestic attacks Tuesday, three months after the death of

RICO Act
And ANTIFA took over BLM withing minutes of it’s founding > IMO.
Quit talking and just MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Gee, has he tried checking out Andy Ngo's twitter feed? He posts mugshots of them pretty much every day. Declare them domestic terrorists and that gives you the ability to investigate doesn't it?
Damn...I thought it was the church groups
SO TWITTER AND FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM PERMIT ANTIFA TERRORISTS AND THEIR MILITAS TO HAVE PRESENCE ON THEIR PLATFORMS? LEGAL TEAM? TIME TO CHARGE THEM WITH SEDITION.
A lot less talk and a lot more ACTION!
When Antifa and BLM are sucked dry of finances and those at the top are in prison,then will I give kudos.
Definitely. And that can be done with the BLM groups saying “donate money to us, buy our stuff, or we’ll set up shop in front of you or give you bad reviews. BLM Nulu was extorting HISPANIC businesses this way.
But terrorizing ordinary citizens wouldn't?
Al Queda, ISIS call them what you want but they are all the same
I don’t object to that theory.
so what does that make their “money, brick, gun,
laser, bus, and swooningly stupid AG” provider?
what does that make the Antifa murderers
from Germany and Ukraine working for Antifa
and paid by the Provider using US taxpayer money?
OMG!! The FBI totally busted the Klan, the WW II Nazis, the communist party, and Mafia and it can’t do the same by using RICO, civil rights statutes, and anti-terrorism statutes?? Give me a break and flush that turd Wray who’s never been willing to say a bad word about BLM/Antifa. If somebody really doesn’t want to do something he always figures out excuses about why he can’t.
We need a way to answer this. 137 eye injuries cannot go unanswered.
Antifa has been doing the exact same thing, on a massive national scale, for five years. Five years later Barr and Wray decide to look at some underpinnings. How about those “white terrorist” underpinnings? There aren’t any, the underpinnings were knocked out when they were infiltrated and members arrested wherever they might have popped up their heads. Barr, Sessions and Graham, we had no chance.
Not so sure they did a very good job on that last one.
I’d guess all roads lead to Soros.
