After another night of violent protests, President Trump said Sunday that he was designating Antifa as a domestic terrorism organization, as the president blames Antifa for starting riots at street protests over George Floyd's death.

Antifa is short for “anti-fascist”, and the movement is largely decentralized, with activists organizing their protest activities online or in small, decentralized groups.
