Today, I sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio urging him to designate the international Antifa networks as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. Antifa isn’t just a domestic threat. It’s part of a global system of violent far-left extremists. 🧵

President Trump has made it clear that Antifa should be treated as the terrorist threat it is. Yesterday, he reaffirmed his intent to dismantle the group's international network—and said he wanted to see it designated as an FTO. "Let’s get it done."

NOW - Trump will classify Antifa a foreign terrorist organization.

Let’s be clear: what Antifa is engaged in is not "speech." It is coordinated, organized political violence. We can and should stand firm against political violence — and target the funding of violent conduct — while continuing to defend the right to peaceful free speech.

Antifa is active across—and beyond—the West. Antifa cells in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and across Europe often work in direct coordination with one another—linked by a global network, they share funds, coordinate tactics, and mobilize across borders for violent "direct actions."

In 2023, for example, authorities found that the Antifa militants driving the “Stop Cop City” riots in Atlanta were part of an "international group"—traveling from France, Canada, and other foreign nations to attack police, hurl Molotov cocktails, and engage in violent sabotage.

At the 2017 Hamburg G20 summit, militants from across the global Antifa network descended on Germany to wage coordinated street warfare—injuring nearly 500 police officers. It became such an issue that German police sought to intercept trains ferrying in activists at the border.

We've seen the sheer amount of violence Antifa is capable of inflicting here in the U.S. The George Floyd riots in 2020, driven in no small part by Antifa, cost between $1-$2 billion in damage—the costliest "civil disorder" event in U.S. history. At least 25 people were killed.

We're watching it again on our streets today: In cities like Portland, Chicago and others, Antifa radicals have launched a violent offensive against ICE agents, facilities, and the law enforcement officers protecting them—seeking to sabotage our immigration laws with violence.

Across the globe, Antifa operations are sustained by by a web of international organizations, networks, and NGOs. Groups like the "International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund" brag about bankrolling 800+ Antifa activists across 26 countries—including here in the United States.

European law enforcement agencies have reached the same conclusion. Europol’s 2023 terrorism report notes that left-wing extremists "see themselves as part of an international movement", coordinating through shared safe houses, operations bases, and cross-border networks.

President Trump’s recently Executive Order rightly labeled Antifa’s U.S. operations as domestic terrorism. But the broader international network driving Antifa violence—here in the U.S. and across the world—deserves the same treatment: An FTO designation.

I stand ready to assist Secretary Rubio and President Trump in completing this designation and stopping this dangerous network once and for all. Read the full letter here:
