What’s Actually Happened Since Trump's Antifa Announcement

After surviving assassination attempts and lawfare, Trump’s administration has begun taking unprecedented steps against Antifa. Here’s what’s happened since September.

On Nov. 26, I joined “The Liz Wheeler Show” to break down what the Trump administration has done about Antifa.

Back in 2020, President Trump declared Antifa a “terrorist organization” in a tweet on Twitter. But nothing happened afterward. No structural change, no follow-through. The focus of the 2020 election campaign year shifted all priorities, even though several cities continued to experience BLM-Antifa rioting well past election day.

I would do that 100%,” Trump says on the possibility of designating Antifa  as a domestic terrorist organization. Notably he said this in 2020, though  there were questions at the time about implementation:

Fast-forward five years. In September 2025, the President made a similar declaration — but the political landscape is radically different now. His cabinet is no longer the same, and Trump himself has survived multiple assassination attempts as well as unprecedented efforts by Democrats to bankrupt him and put him in prison for life.

This time, the announcement wasn’t symbolic. Real moves have followed.

In this post, I break down the actions taken since September.

What do you think of the developments so far, and where do you see room for improvement? It should be noted that to date, none of the dozens of Portland Antifa federal riot suspects have been charged with conspiracy, sedition or any other crimes reflective of their organized efforts to obstruct a federal government agency.
