There are renewed efforts to designate Antifa as a domestic terror group after recent riots in Atlanta and Boston were linked to supporters of the violent leftist organization.

Antifa has been described as an "anti-fascist" ideological movement that aims to cause a disruption in the political system and its backers have been responsible for vandalizing public property, arson, and even assault.
