Antifa are the modern day Nazi Brownshirts. Let's get this straight. Liberals don't like the fact that our Executive Branch is doing its job by enforcing the laws of this country. Obama did the same and took the exact same actions, including the separation of children from adults illegally crossing the border. It's just the liberals just don't like Trump. So instead of electing people to change the laws they don't like, the liberals form Antifa to engage in violent acts against people who's opinions they don't agree with, including domestic terrorism against ICE and the Border Patrol. If it looks like the Nazi Brown shirt, talks like them, and acts like them, then it is them. Antifa = Nazis.

LOL Bentway, you're too funny. If WWII was fought by Antifa boys today, we'd all be speaking German: Tenchusatsu

Looks like action is being taken to curb Antifa, as it should be.... ------- Senate Bill Would 'Properly Identify' Antifa As 'Domestic Terrorist Organization' A new resolution introduced by Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA) would "properly identify" Antifa as "Domestic Terrorists." Introduced Thursday, the resolution defines Antifa as "a movement that intentionally combines violence with the group's alt-left positions," and "represents opposition to the democratic ideals of peaceful assembly and free speech for all." The measure then lists several examples of Antifa behavior, including: Assaulting conservative journalist Andy Ngo in February and June of 2019, putting him in the hospital. Doxxing ICE employees.Confronting an ICE officer when he went to pick up his daughter from summer camp, as well as plastering "his name and photo" on flyers outside his home labeling him as part of the "Gestapo."Explicitly rejecting the authority of law enforcement to"protect free speech and stop acts of violence." ⚠️🚨READ: 🇺🇸Senate Resolution proposal presented to designate ANTIFA as a domestic terrorist group. https://t.co/Wr68qPMIBd pic.twitter.com/Em9uOg5HeG — NewsChute (@NewsChute) July 19, 2019 After Ngo was beaten and robbed by members of Portland's Antifa cell, a GoFundMe established for the journalist raised $195,680 out of its original $50,000 goal after an outpouring of support.

"There are federal-law processes for designating foreign and international terrorism because defending against foreign threats to national security is primarily a federal responsibility," McCarthy explained, because foreign operatives have fewer civil rights protections than American citizens and that the best weapon against domestic terror is local law enforcement, not federal. - The Blaze Portland, meanwhile, is mulling a ban on wearing masks at protests in an effort to crack down on Antifa violence.
