The U.S. State Department has, for the first time in history, designated four extremely violent foreign Antifa groups as FTOs—Foreign Terrorist Organizations. This is a formal, legal designation that would criminalize membership or involvement.

BREAKING: Trump admin designates foreign Antifa groups as terrorist orgs

The designation comes after Antifa-linked militants also targeted a Turning Point USA event taking place at UC Berkeley in California.

German Antifa terrorist group Antifa Ost (aka Hammerbande) is among the four groups designated by the US State Department as FTOs (Foreign Terrorist Organizations). The Antifa Hammerbande carries out brutal mob beatings on targets with melee weapons across national lines in Europe. Antifa rioted for years as their ringleader, social worker student Lina Engel (pictured below), was prosecuted and ultimately convicted for attempted murder in a series of attacks from 2018–20. The group would break their victim's bones, including a victim who had a skull fractured. Engel received only a five-year sentence. One of the alleged Italian members (Ilaria Salis) was being prosecuted in Hungary. To help her escape being convicted, the Greens and Left Alliance party had her become their candidate for the European Parliament. She won, thus granting her diplomatic immunity. The case had to be dismissed. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/c2951521594598f02f309a521e97688021c700a41c7a43fd36dd2ea02f76c3e2.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/f7b7bb5ffe04623f7d9388b461da4dd666036d749a9965f15b228231ffde2353.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/8c04a6bf9feecfb8f7978b194fcc3c28b4038158d7f3a3ad9be512565e763fd5.file
