Is antifa a terrorist organization? One group says yes

An organization dedicated to preserving the memory of victims of communist regimes, the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation has taken on a new endeavor to handle the growing popularity of antifa and the groups associated with the movement. VOC started a petition calling on the Department of Homeland Security to identify groups affiliated with Antifa as domestic terrorist organizations.

This follows the white nationalist “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va., in August, which antifa protested. Violence broke out among the two groups and one woman, Heather Heyer, was killed. President Trump condemned the “egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides.”
