🧵 To make President Trump's desired Antifa terrorist designation stick, @SecRubio must first designate Antifa as a foreign terrorist entity.

He can do this easily. Antifa was founded a century ago in Germany. Germany's BfV considers it a "left-wing violent extremist" network.

2) Once the State Department designates Antifa as a foreign terrorist "entity," the administration can implement Executive Order 13224 to block assets, prohibit transactions, and penalize foreign supporters of Antifa in the United States - and the Americans who assist them.

3) Under EO 13224, the Justice Department can investigate and prosecute any American citizens who provide assistance to that designated foreign terrorist entity.

That would be anybody joining, supporting, or aiding Antifa and its networks in any way.

4) The US should be more vigorous about "material support for terrorism" to get tougher on networking, training, indoctrination (radicalization), and propaganda support. All these intangibles have tangible material value. All are material support for terrorism.
