BREAKING: President Trump has just dropped a political earthquake — revealing that George Soros and Reid Hoffman are funding Antifa and the coordinated left-wing violence targeting ICE and federal buildings.

Marco Rubio:

Today, building on the President’s historic commitment to uproot Antifa’s campaign of political violence, the Department of State is designating four Antifa groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists. The United States will continue using all available tools to protect our nation from these anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-Christian terrorist groups.

So what does this mean?

It becomes a federal crime to provide any support to those groups

1. Money, supplies, training, travel assistance, hosting members, even sharing resources can trigger federal “material support for terrorism” charges—some of the most serious charges in U.S. law.

2. Members and leaders become priority targets for U.S. intelligence

FTO designation allows:

surveillance

financial tracking

asset freezing

intelligence sharing with allies

covert and overt disruption operations

They’re treated the same way the U.S. treats ISIS, Hezbollah, IRGC, etc. in terms of investigative authority.

3. Their U.S.-based networks can be prosecuted

Even if the groups are European, anyone in the U.S. who collaborates with them—directly or indirectly—can be investigated and charged.

4. Visa bans and deportations

Foreign nationals associated with those groups: cannot enter the U.S.

Can be deported if already here

5. Financial chokehold

Banks are forbidden from handling money connected to designated groups.

Assets can be seized immediately.

6. Pressure on European governments

The U.S. designation forces EU/NATO allies to confront these groups—often more seriously than they were before.
