President Donald J. Trump has placed the blame on the Left for the ongoing violence issue. In response, he recently classified Antifa—a collective of what he deems Radical Left terrorists seeking to destabilize the government through chaos—as a domestic terrorist organization.
Antifa’s alleged history of violence raises significant concerns:
- In July 2025, an Antifa cell attacked law enforcement at an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas. </strongThe assailants, after defacing vehicles with derogatory graffiti, drew officers into a trap and opened fire, with one officer sustaining serious injuries.
- July 2025 saw deranged rioters assaulting federal agents in a Portland ICE facility. These clashes escalated over weeks, involving physical attacks and the use of incendiary devices against law enforcement.
- A transgender individual affiliated with Antifa detonated an explosive device in February 2024 outside the office of Alabama’s Attorney General Steve Marshall, leaving propaganda splattered with Antifa symbols in the aftermath.
- In March 2023, Antifa extremists besieged a police training center in Atlanta, launching Molotov cocktails and other explosive devices, leading police to label the situation as chaotic anarchy.
- In January 2023, members of Antifa were charged for vandalizing reproductive healthcare facilities in Florida, connected to the radical group “Jane’s Revenge,” responsible for numerous attacks on pro-life organizations.
- In January 2022, a known Antifa supporter was apprehended for carrying a pipe bomb at a pro-Trump event, displaying an alarming willingness to resort to violence.
- In January 2021, an Antifa supporter was recorded threatening to shoot police and Trump supporters at a state capitol, reflecting an alarming radicalization among some groups on the Left.
- In August 2020, during chaotic riots in Portland, an Antifa member shot and killed a supporter of the conservative group Patriot Prayer.
- In 2020, Antifa took control over portions of Seattle’s Capitol Hill district, establishing a so-called “autonomous zone,” resulting in significant conflicts with law enforcement and numerous violent incidents.
- In July 2019, a self-identified Antifa radical attacked an ICE facility in Tacoma, armed and intent on creating destruction, only to be shot by police after refusing to obey demands.
- In 2017, Antifa radicals disrupted conservative events at UC Berkeley, leading to violence that forced evacuations— a situation that raises questions about the freedom to protest without resorting to violence.
The troubling trend of Antifa’s violence links to a broader narrative of Radical Left extremism that has swept the nation, fueled by incendiary remarks from certain political leaders and organizations.

In light of these alarming trends, the nation requires decisive leadership that unequivocally addresses the epidemic of Radical Left violence.
