There are extensive foreign ties, and I think that would be a very valid step to take.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to administration officials, the proposed designation would focus on Antifa\u2019s financial and operational links to groups in Western Europe and the Middle East \u2014 ties that U.S. intelligence agencies have reportedly been monitoring for months.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\">Advertisement<\/p>\n<div id=\"as5808\" data-title=\"You Might Also Like\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1976030029089001887&amp;lang=en&amp;maxWidth=560px&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fconservativebrief.com%2Ftrump-designate-95798%2F&amp;sessionId=5b8aaf473d7485dd395cb3273a351ed444522078&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1976030029089001887\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s remarks came as his administration continues to face widespread protests against recent immigration enforcement operations and National Guard deployments in cities like Chicago and Portland.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\">Advertisement<\/div>\n<p>Officials say those same cities have seen recurring Antifa activity, particularly around Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities.<\/p>\n<p>During the meeting, Trump invited Posobiec and Sortor to share their firsthand experiences reporting from Antifa demonstrations. Sortor \u2014 who was arrested in Portland last week while covering an anti-ICE protest \u2014 presented the president with an American flag he said he rescued from demonstrators attempting to burn it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGive that to Attorney General [Pam] Bondi,\u201d Trump said after Sortor told him he could identify the individual who set the flag on fire. \u201cStart prosecutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Posobiec warned that the movement\u2019s radicalization has intensified and cited a growing list of politically motivated attacks: \u201cWhen you look at people like Luigi Mangione in his twenties, Thomas Matthew Crooks, of course, who took a shot at you, sir, the ICE shooter in Dallas, and now this Tyler Robinson \u2014 we\u2019re starting to see a pattern of more and more murderous violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump nodded as Posobiec spoke, calling the recent wave of violence \u201cdisgusting\u201d and \u201ca threat to the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Posobiec, who has spent the past month assisting Turning Point USA and the Kirk family, said the organization is continuing its nationwide campus tour despite ongoing threats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTurning Point USA is continuing the tour that Charlie was on,\u201d he told Trump. \u201cWe had 6,000 people when we went back to Utah. We had 5,000 people last night in Montana. We are continuing to organize on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that supporters were \u201cshowing incredible courage in the face of this threat,\u201d but warned that those gathered in the room could become the next targets.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\">\n<div data-delay=\"4000\" data-block=\"12\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cMr. President, we need to do something about this,\u201d Posobiec said. \u201cBecause I fear that the next one who could be killed could be sitting at this table right now. We\u2019re not going to stop, but they need to be stopped \u2014 and they will not stop until they are stopped.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump responded by promising swift federal action. \u201cWe\u2019re not going to let this happen again,\u201d he said. \u201cAntifa will be dealt with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If implemented, the designation would mark the first time the United States formally identified a domestic-based organization as a foreign terrorist entity \u2014 a move that would enable international sanctions, asset freezes, and cross-border investigations.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of the move argue that Antifa\u2019s coordination with overseas anarchist groups justifies such treatment, while critics say it risks blurring legal lines between domestic dissent and foreign-sponsored terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>For Trump, however, the message was clear: \u201cThey\u2019ve declared war on America,\u201d he said. \u201cNow we\u2019re declaring it back.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Getty Images This article may contain commentary which reflects the author&#8217;s opinion.
