Can Trump designate it as a domestic terrorist organization? Antifa is a domestic entity and, as such, is not a candidate for inclusion on the State Department's list of foreign terror organizations. And despite periodic calls, particularly after mass shootings by white supremacists, to establish a domestic terrorism law, no singular statute now exists. The executive order did not specify how Trump he would go about designating antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.
