how can you label Antifa a terrorists group, when they aren't even a group or an organization, they have no leader, they have no membership roles, or any defined, centralized structure. Rather, it is a vaguely defined movement of people who share common protest tactics and targets. Are you trying to claim an "idea" is a terrorist group?
next there is no domestic terrorist laws in place, and there is no authority under law for it, but right now, the only terrorist authority is for foreign terrorist organizations.
Terrorism is an inherently political label, easily abused and misused. There is no legal authority for designating a domestic group a terrorist group. Any such designation would raise significant due process and First Amendment concerns.
