Antifa Activists Vow to Keep Fighting Even as Terrorists

Anti-fascist or Antifa chapters around the U.S. are concerned about the push for new domestic terrorism legislation that may include them, but say they remain committed to violent opposition to far-right groups and police regardless.
Antifa activists are determined to continue their activities even if the threat of a terror designation becomes reality, and predict more upheaval and violence this year amid America s divided social landscape and fears of rising extremism.
The recent political violence has prompted lawmakers to propose domestic terrorism laws targeting those involved. Though the main drivers of this looming crackdown are groups on the far right, it may also sweep up leftists routinely engaging in violence.
