Bill > HRes525

This Resolution calls for groups and organizations operating under the name "Antifa" to be officially labeled as domestic terrorist organizations, meaning they are considered groups that use violence or intimidation in the pursuit of political aims within their own country. The resolution outlines several reasons for this call, citing instances where members of Antifa have allegedly used threats and physical violence against journalists, individuals at protests and riots, and employees of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), an agency responsible for enforcing immigration laws. It also states that Antifa's actions are seen as opposing democratic ideals like peaceful assembly and free speech, and that some Antifa groups reject the authority of law enforcement and government. The resolution unequivocally condemns these violent actions, emphasizes the importance of peaceful communication of diverse ideas, urges all groups to express opinions without violence, and calls for the Federal Government to increase efforts to combat all forms of domestic terrorism.
