“[The Trump] administration has no authority to designate groups as domestic terrorist organizations, as is obvious from the failure to cite any statute or constitutional provision in support of the president’s action. There is none, and the purported designation has no legal effect.” https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/trumps-orders-targeting-antifascism-aim-criminalize-opposition

Highly recommend this entire Brennan Center report on the Trump regime’s effort to criminalize -and invite violence against- opposition to it.

‘For all its references to violence and intimidation, much of NSPM-7 is squarely directed at speech and nonviolent action by organizations and individuals protected by the First Amendment. One of the targets of the memo is “campaigns of . . . radicalization” — that is, speech aimed at promoting ideas that the administration considers to be “radical.”’ https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/trumps-orders-targeting-antifascism-aim-criminalize-opposition

I'm pretty sure the Bush/Biden Patriot Act authorizes this.
Obama used the Patriot Act it to drone bomb 2 US citizens that he labeled "terrorists."

AIPAC is the biggest terrorist organization in the USA.
I doubt they'll target them.
@heidilifeldman Anyone can be labeled "antifa" and thrown in prison for no other reason.
