Well here we go. You clamored for it, and here it is:
The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.

I think this means that they will be able to devote more federal resources to stomping down any Antifa activity. I’ll update with more information if needed.
Bad news for Keith Ellison huh?

I’m sure he’ll be whining about it pretty soon…
UPDATE:
El Presidente said more about the protest prior to his announcement:
Congratulations to our National Guard for the great job they did immediately upon arriving in Minneapolis, Minnesota, last night. The ANTIFA led anarchists, among others, were shut down quickly. Should have been done by Mayor on first night and there would have been no trouble!

Other Democrat run Cities and States should look at the total shutdown of Radical Left Anarchists in Minneapolis last night. The National Guard did a great job, and should be used in other States before it is too late!

We’ll see what the terror designation means in terms of law enforcement during the protests.
