‘Antifa is a left-wing terrorist organization.’

In its fight against radical, left-wing and anarchist organizations, the Trump administration via a federal grand jury filed its first terrorism case against Antifa, after a group of militants allegedly shot up a Texas immigration center during a surprise summer attack.
Two supposed members of Antifa, Cameron Arnold and Zachary Evetts, were indicted by a grand jury on Wednesday with charges of supplying material support for terrorism, attempting to murder federal and assisting officers, and discharging firearms during attempted murders, according to court documents obtained by Fox News.
Masked, aggressive anarchists ensnared Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents out of the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4 before shooting bullets in their direction, according to court documents.
As officers responded, Arnold yelled, “Get to the rifles!” according to the indictment.
It was only “seconds later” that Arnold “opened fire on the officers, striking the Alvarado officer in the neck area as the unarmed correctional officers ducked and ran for cover,” the indictment read.
“The wounded officer fell to the ground but was able to return a few shots. Coconspirator-1 continued to fire additional rounds until his rifle jammed. The attackers then left the scene,” it added.
Authorities arrested ten suspects, including Benjamin Hanil Song, a former Marine Corps Reservist. Song allegedly shot against federal agents during the attack and was on the lam for a week before he was caught.
Recently, President Donald Trump labeled Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization after an outpouring of leftist violence against federal immigration authorities and conservatives.
“I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices,” Trump wrote when he made the designation.
“As @POTUS has made clear, Antifa is a left-wing terrorist organization. They will be prosecuted as such,” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X Thursday.
